IAH for Departure

Here goes nothing. 🙃
Narita Airport, Japan

Waiting for the next leg with ANA.
First leg from Houston to Japan on United was just awesome. First time in business class and idk how I'll ever go back! (Well... ok, when I see the cost of theRead more
Narita Airport + Flight 803 to Singapore

ANA business class is legit! We get our own pods?! 😍😍
So ANA business class is very well done - i prefer ANA to United at this point. The seats recline completely into a bed, the service isRead more
Somewhere in the sky

Japanese cuisine as served on ANA! It was very interesting - I enjoyed the salmon and rice dishes. Some of the appetizers were a bit too fishy for my taste. But all in all, a cool experience.
Plus aRead more

Quick tour around the underground wet market! Across the street from the Buddhist temple is a shopping area where produce and fresh seafood is available for purchase.
Folks staffing the market wereRead more

A really neat way to travel to Sentosa Island! Pass purchase is required (approx. 30$ pp), and includes a round trip sky lift ticket to the island (unlimited sky lift use for 1 day), plus islandRead more
Sentosa Island

Checking out what Sentosa has to offer! Unfortunately, when it rains, it pours in Singapore. Staying dry was a challenge today.

A neat stop to learn about the region's trading history and to see some fish.
Candylicious

The ultimate test of self control. I passed. :)
Fun fact - you can purchase halal gummy candies. The are made with beef geletan instead of pork geletan. I had no idea.
Sentosa Sights

Just wandering around. It's interesting that you can find "America's Best" do-it-yourself pancake restaurant on Sentosa Island... what a business model.
Orchard Rd to pass the time

Before dinner, I decided to mosey around areas surrounding my hotel. Underground tunnels connect shopping centers, walkways are packed with eager shoppers, and the prices... are not right. TheRead more

The chicken tikka was literally heaven. Words cannot describe my newfound love for this place. I also tried lime juice for the first time - muchRead more
Cavanaugh and Orchard Rd

I started today with an early morning quest to find street food.
Setting off at about 5 30 am, I didn't really know what to expect. I was surprised to see so many people wandering the roadways soRead more
Food City

Very little is open at 6 am except a few gem eateries. This is my second stop this morning for breakfast - how can I say no to food? #whatdiet
This venue was tucked away in the basement of a shoppingRead more

Walking off the calories from today's breakfasts...
St. Andrew's Cathedral

Today's agenda included an ad hoc walking tour to see a few popular Singapore sights. First stop was church, of course.
Financial District Views

National Gallery Singapore

Stop 2 today was a museum filled with art from Singaporean and Southeast Asian artists. I was surprised by all the political pieces - especiallyRead more
Views from the Museum

The top floor of the museum had an outdoor garden with reflection pools and an overlook where visitors have a clear view of the financial district, marina, and other high rise areas.
National Kitchen by Violet Oon

Lunch! This place was highly regarded by a travel book one of my colleagues had. It's inside the museum and they serve Singaporean dishes with Peranakan influence. Apparently you need to makeRead more
Supreme Court, Parliament, and Other

A few shots from our walking tour. Both the old and new supreme court are captured in the photo below - the new one looks like a space ship.
Miscellaneous Views

I think Singapore is too expensive for me.
It's going to be a great adventure! I'll check on hubby for you!;) have fun! Momma Nicky
