Ok so it has taken a bit longer than planned to get this blog out to you all. So we left you in search of a massage chair in Singapore airport....we found on it was amazing although it only did your feet it felt great after such a long trip on my swollen feet. We also found a 'rest spot' where you can lay on these banana lounge things and sleep, which was great, even though we had a very strange lady talking to herself in her sleep. We finally boarded 13-hour flight to Amsterdam at 22.05 local time. The flight [View Full Entry]

We're Here!!!! Asia » Singapore
Hi All Just a quick blog to let you all know phase one is complete!!! We have arrived safely in Singapore...After walking the full length of the Airport here we finally found the transfer lounge to booking in for the next leg of our trip. We can accross this free internet stand and thought we download the pics we've taken so far....but as you can see no such luck there is no where to plug into. So far resonably uneventful trip (which is both good and bad) Fiko has been disapointed with the special meals he's been getting as the normal [View Full Entry]

The highlight of the evening was perhaps the biggest surprise of the night.....no Mel is not pregnant! But Gaz (father of the Bride) surprised the newly weds…..and everyone else with a 7 minute fireworks display!!!!! That’s right FIREWORKS!!!! Hey Jadeó we caught up [View Full Entry]
