Day 5 Tuesday October 6, 2009 I slept in this morning and decided to once again have room service for breakfast although I just had coffee and toast. I spent the morning catching up on emails and facebook. Since I did not have use of a camera today I decided to visit places that I could walk to that either I had visited before or would not be photo opportunities. Thankfully I had taken photos of these areas before so I could include them in my blog. I decided to walk along the river towards Clark Quay to see what I [View Full Entry]

Day Four Monday October 5, 2009 Rich awoke early to get ready for his meeting and I decided to sleep in. I awoke around 8:30am and planned my day. I decided I would venture to the upscale shopping area that we had seen so many times during our travels. Since I would be eating alone I elected to order room service. I decided to order an American breakfast but actually found it too heavy and left most of it on the plate. It is very interesting to see how the Singaporeans eat breakfast. Miso soup, fruit, rice and fish. I think [View Full Entry]

So then…stage 2 done…Oceana…tick, well 2 of your countries anyway. Things are getting scary as I am now entering the final phase of my trip, well gallivanting hobo style around the world anyway…! And I still wish that next lotto ticket I buy will be the lucky one, because I don´t want this to end, and this seems my only viable option if I wish to continue living as a tramp! Anyway, after I cried a bit on the plane then accepted the luxury of the quantas flight with a few jars of whisky and a few movies from their extensive [View Full Entry]

Day Three October 4, 2009 We awoke at 7:30am which is very early for us especially on a Sunday. Of course the first thing I thought about was that one of our kids may be trying to reach us via skype so we turned on our computer and sure enough hooked up with Jared and Laura who are celebrating their one year anniversary in Puerto Rico. We had a great conversation with them, skype is amazing if any of you are looking for a free way to communicate over the Internet with voice and picture. We enjoyed breakfast in the lobby [View Full Entry]

We thought we would try writing a blog as it may be quicker to upload photos onto than email or facebook. Here are some photos from Singapore, our first trip on our travels. [View Full Entry]

Day Two October 4, 2009 Singapore / Little India / Clarke Quay/Esplanade We arrived at our hotel at 3:00am Saturday morning, we were surprised to see the streets around our hotel busy with young locals. It turns out that there is a disco next to our hotel, and discos or night clubs stay open until 5:00am in Singapore. I don't think these 50+ year olds will be part of the local night life anytime soon. We checked into our hotel and although we were somewhat tired we ordered room service, we enjoyed satay, spring rolls and something that tasted like rice [View Full Entry]

Day One The morning started fairly normal for a “DeLuca Vacation” Rich woke up sick to his stomach, and coughing...he immediately poured us some airborne that according to Rich we had to drink to maintain our health.....I did mention that Rich is Global Healthy and safety Manager for GE Healthcare ...right Trips are always exciting ! I was thinking champagne at least it was bubbly! As usual Rich had a very important conference call that was to begin at precisely the time our dear friend Jackie Dorsey was going to arrive to bring us to the airport....such great friends.

We got a really posh bus from Kuala lumpur to singapore, was like buisness class on a plane but without the flying and the food was disgusting! Arrived in Singapore at about 2030 in the middle of god knows where and no idea where to go, great!! Got a taxi to a very upmarket street, the taxi driver must have thought we had money being western as the cheapest hotel in this area was the YMCA at 75 quid a night, which we found after 2 hours trekking, bang there goes our budget!! We both woke the next morning with our [View Full Entry]

F1 Weekend Over and thank god for that, because as much as I hate to admit it, I don't think I could handle much more partying and lack of sleep than that. I was terribly sad that Mark crashed out during the race. and my new english friend (who i later found out is the sponser for the porsche carerra cup) came downstairs just to revel in my utter devastation. I'd found another Melbourne boy, and he and I were just wandering around dazed continually saying "I'm DEVO" Mark mark mark, your bloody car needs fixing up again! Later that night [View Full Entry]
