starting off on another adventure

Airline Limo companies offer free wake-up call. One would assume that this is so that you are awake and ready to jump into the Limo when it arrives. The company I had left me a voice-mail message! Duh. At least they said they left a voice mail message after I complained to the driver that I did not get my wake-up call and I carried my cordless phone everywhere I went.

Interesting twist when I boarded the aircraft, saw a Lady pilot and she was very young - of course thesedays everyone is young to me.

I hate the new ecconomy Air Canada - no meal service, the gals go down the isle flogging a variety of products from well known chain fast-food joints. Even a pillow and blanket is up for grabs at $2 a pop.

Was glad to get onto Singapore Airlines where all the lady assistants (what do they call them these days - hostesses - ?) all look like beauty pagent winners and are so courtious and polite.
The meals on the flight were more than ample - in fact I refused the last meal of the flight I was so full.

Arrived in Singapore at 2.00 a.m. to pouring rain - and its still raining. Hotel is great, wonderful free buffet breakfast-american and chinese style and great fruit of course.

Did a couple of group tours. I HATE group tours but its the only way to get to see a lot in a short time. Anyway thats for another day. Am off to Thailand tomorrow and will post in a couple of days and tell you about being lost by the tour guide!!
