Breaking Dawn

While we were exploring, I walked into Borders just to make sure that they would have Breaking Dawn , which I thought came out on Monday. There, by the checkout stand was a copy of it. I grabbed it, checked to make sure it was an actual book, and ran to pay as fast as I could. It is an international version, in paperback. I am not sure what is different about an international version, but I will find out as quickly as I can read it. If you don't hear from me for a while, you'll know what I am doing. :)

Flight to Singapore

Well, we made it to Singapore. After 8452 miles in the air, long, boring miles, we arrived in Singapore at 11:00pm. The flight was pretty uneventful, which I guess is what you want in a flight. We watched a few movies, Kung Fu Panda (really funny), Ironman (Chad loved it), and Prince Caspian (I loved it). We slept a little, and some typical airline food, and tried to get comfortable (didn't happen). All together, we were in the air for 18 hours, and a 2 hour layover in Tokyo.

The Singapore airport is only 6 months old, and SO CLEAN!!! Everything is glass and windows, and the bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I have ever been in. The nice thing about getting in at midnight was there were no lines at customs. We took a taxi to the hotel, about a 20 minute ride. They drive on the opposite side of the road here, and the drivers side is on the other side of the car, so it is a good thing we didn't have to rent a car. I would have crashed before we even got out of the airport.

We slept pretty good last night, thanks to some Advil PM. The hotel has a breakfast buffet that is part of our room, very nice. Lots of fruit, bacon, eggs, hash browns, pastrys, waffles, and then fried rice, chow mein noodles, pickled vegetables, lots of Chinese food I wasn't sure exactly what it was. At least I know I will be able to eat a good breakfast.

We are going exploring in a little while with another guy on Chad's team. Mike is from Boise, and met us in San Francisco for the flight here.

The pictures are the view from our hotel window. We are on the 12th floor. If you notice, the cars are on the wrong side of the road.

That's all for now. Love you all.

Getting Ready for Singapore

Well - something exciting is finally happening in our life. Chad's work is sending him to Singapore for a week, so I am tagging along. Various relatives are taking our kids, and we are spending 12 glorious (I hope) days in Singapore. You will be able to check in daily and see pictures of what our day has been like. I hope it's as fun and exciting as I hope, although I do plan on spending at least one day by the pool with Breaking Dawn (see above). No kids, no phone, just me and Edward!!!

I'll try to update as much as possible during our trip. 3 more days and counting
