Singapore!







Having Arrived, we checked out some local sites. We're planning a two day trip to Malaysia to see the sights and relax and get over the jetlag before the festival. More in a few days....

The Longest Plane Flight that Ever Was







Our Flight was great.


They showed about 7,ooo movies and we consumed a total of three metric tons of pretzels.

During hour 612, We flew directly over the North Pole, which was very beautiful.
We could see huge glaciers and gigantic fissures in the Ice. See?



Then we flew over Mongolia, and we could see the Steppes and Deserts and huge lakes and snow mountains.....Breathtaking! If only my little camera could capture it from 31,00 feet....


Then to Hong Kong, for a 3 hour coma on an airport lounge chair, then to Singapore for a midnight arrival. I think it is October 2009 here, but I'm not sure. It was hot and humid at midnight, truly tropical. We crashed in our tiny hotel, exhausted (no photo available, sorry).




The Adventure Begins....



Bye Bye Brooklyn!


Sara Wendt and I set out at 4:30 in the morning, Friday Sept 28th.
