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]

Hi all- I Hope this post finds you all well and enjoying the coming autumn (or spring if you are down under!) So its been ages since my last entry. So much for once a week. Since the last entry, Carla and her bloke Joao have visited, left, visted, left, visited and left once more! Was great to get to know Joao a bit and see Carla again. We shared a few too many beers, some curry, a couple of pub quizzes, some pool and basically have a fly-by all around catch up. I'll be back in London for her birthday-which [View Full Entry]

Comme un retour au bercail Singapore, Changi Airport, le soir du 22 septembre. Un petit boeing 737 de Malaysian Airlines, en provenance de Kuala Lumpur, se fraye timidement un chemin sur le tarmac, entre la meute imposante des Airbus A-380 de Singapore Airlines. A bord, un voyageur suisse, parti le matin meme de Tokyo, finit de lire un quotidien malaysien en anglais, le premier journal depuis plusieurs mois. Apres d'interminables zig-zag, l'avion se trouve finalement une petite place libre pour apponter. Il est 20h25, le commandant de bord annonce 28 degrés au sol et remercie les pas [View Full Entry]

A Night at the Airport Now that we have been on the road for 8 months now we have had a lot of experiences typical of backpackers. One experience, though, eluded us, until now - spending the night in an airport. We left Hanoi on a ridiculously cheap Tiger Air flight that landed in Singapore at 1:30am on the night of 27 September. The flight was cheap enough that we agreed to land in the middle of the night. And, we thought that by the time we exited baggage claim there would be no reason to pay for a hotel [View Full Entry]

Day 3 Of The F1 Robbert got all of us tickets to the qualifyings, which we watched poolside at bar that seemed to serve everything for free. The sound and feelings from track floated on down to us where we were situated 5 metres from track :) We chilled out there and got invited upstairs to enjoy the view from the deck with the boys from porsche. I made a bet with one of the guys that If Webber made top 10 in qualifyings, that he would go in the pool, and vice versa. Well he came 4th!! So Stu followed [View Full Entry]
