February 11 - We're back home
It was bittersweet, but we're home. It's good to be home, but sad that we had to cut our trip short. Overall, it was the right decision.
We took a couple of videos on the trip. Because of their size, both are hard to upload until we got home. The first is of the Chinese new year celebration in Bangkok. Our hotel was right in the center. We could watch the dragons and hear the drums from our hotel restaurant which was open to the street.
Singapore was amazing to the end. It's clean modern image is a high standard for the rest of the world, including the US. Our flight left at midnight, so we had plenty of time to walk around the airport shopping mall, which is named "Jewel". The mall is so large, it is like a shopping mall with an airport attached to it. And in the center is the indoor waterfall and light show.
At 12:00 midnight, we got on our flight from Singapore to Newark, NJ. It turned out to be ahead of schedule and arrived an hour early, only 16.5 hours in the air. We got in at 4:45 AM. Never saw the sun the whole way.
Now about 5 days later, the jet lag is almost over. We have adjusted to the 13 hour time difference.
