We are in Singapore! Flights over were great. I was in BC with
United and this time got a different amenity kit which was
rather nice. The meal was very good as well, no complaints and
Tom was in First with ANA. Needless to say he was spoiled. Even
got pajamas to wear which they get to keep. The funny thing was
that I would be taking the same plane from Tokyo to Singapore
that he took from JFK to Tokyo. We met at Tokyo airport where I
sat while his plane came in and then they brought him to
me...then we headed off to the First class ANA lounge to sit
until our flights to Singapore. The lounge is very nice and
Asians know how to take care of guests. I was on ANA this time
in BC and Tom was on United in BC….the gals in BC found out it
was my 40th Anniversary when I was sitting there waiting for Tom
to come in so surprised me in flight…very good service I might
add on ANA.
I have stuck in here a photo of Thai Airlines with a double
decker seating arrangements on an Airbus 380…I thought pretty
darn cool.
We arrived really early the morning of the 9th of October into
Changi Airport and from there took a cab to our hotel, the
beautiful Shangri-La Singapore. We were staying in the Garden
Wing which I have done on two other occasions and I knew it
would be loved by both my husband and another couple of friends
we would be cruising with. When we walked into our room we were
so surprised to see swans and rose petals, flowers and
chocolates…We arranged to meet Wayne and Elaine for breakfast at
the Waterfall Café and from there decide what we wanted to do
that day. We decided to take the hop on hop off bus around town
so they could get a bit of the feeling of this city… and outside
discovered that October is a huge month for weddings…. then back
to the hotel for swims and photographing…the grounds around the
hotel are expertly kept up by a gardener who has been with them
for 38 years…and this time here, the trees were laden with
blooming orchids. Then we got ready to head out to dinner…a
special place called Ce La Vi at the top of the Marina Bay Sands
Hotel. What makes it so special is that the view is 55 stories
up and you can see the harbor, wheel and the Gardens by the Bay
from here…stunning views and such delicious food. The problem
was is that Indonesia was burning peat and the skies were hazy
from it…oh but our meal was so good and the view was wonderful
and the four of us has such a great time watching the skies turn
to nightfall and the Gardens by the Bay light up. We didn’t want
desert, we were just too full from our meal but look what showed
up at our table for us…these wonderful deserts! Afterwards we
walked through the lobby of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel so I
could show them some very large pots, but they looked so small
compared to the lobby of the hotel…then outside again from the
4th story to admire the Gardens by the Bay from another angle.
that was the first day!
