After 26 hours of travel we made it! And by some miracle, so did our bags. We left Sunday morning 9 am Central US time and got to our hotel at 2:30 am Singapore time. Now that it's behind us, I can say the flights weren't too bad. After a short flight to Chicago, our second and longest leg (13 hrs to Tokyo) was during the day by our internal clocks and we kept ourselves busy watching movies and TV shows. After walking around the Tokyo airport, and enjoying their mutual love of Hello Kitty, we jumped onto the flight to Singapore. It was pretty empty and we had a row of three seats to ourselves. After a quick meal both of us passed out for the remainder of the 7.5 hr flight.
By the time we got to the hotel, the Pan Pacific, we were both wide awake again and it was hard to get to sleep with so many new things to think about exploring. Here's a link to pictures of our hotel room for the first month while we apartment hunt. The bathroom has a glass wall looking into the bedroom. So much for any privacy, haa haa.

From what I've seen so far (the view from our hotel window) I'd say Singapore is like Chicago or New York with palm trees and lots of humidity! We're off to lunch with one of Adam's business partners.
Glad to hear that you made it safely - and with all your luggage!! that almost never happens.
ReplyDeleteLooks like things are pretty fun and exciting down there. That is either the craziest or awesomest tub I've ever seen!
