Hi
Dear son and his bride are heading to AUA for their delayed honeymoon on Dec 24.

They arrive late afternoon on the 24th.

Grocery stores will be closed when they arrive.
Stores will be closed on 25th.
Will stores be open on the 26th?

They may end up bringing some food with them in their suitcases

I'm pretty sure that supermarkets were open on the 26th. Are they staying at La Cabana?

I can pickup anything they need at the market.

Yes, Kathy and Mark are coming. We are travelling together Dec. 19. Mark is staying only a couple of weeks. I was to return with Kathy on Jan. 16 but I think I am going to change my ticket and stay with Marlene for another week.

I'm at the market almost every day so there is no problem picking up whatever they need. It will be nice to see Kevin again and meet Becca.

Hello, I see on Ling & Son's website that they are closed New Years Day and the day after. I can't find anything on the other grocery stores. Does anyone know Certified and Hong King's holiday hours?

Thanks!

We get in on New Year's Day. I see that Ling's is closed both New Years and the day after. Are the other grocery stores open on the 2nd? Is there anywhere else that will be open, to pick up a few things (like liquor stores

)?

Shnyda · 12-21-2009, 03:00 PM

Is the day after New Years day a national holiday?

If you click on Holidays 2009 right on this website and find a grid of the holiday opening hours of the major supermarkets.
