First Day in Singapore

Today is our first day in Singapore. We like our hotel, the Keong Saik Hotel. It's an old Chinatown shophouse that's been converted to a hotel. This morning we explored the shops and restaurants in the Chinatown area. The are lots of brightly painted buildings and red lanterns hanging across the street. We took off our shoes and visited a Hindu temple. We also saw a neat mosque, but we didn't go in.

I set up an album of our pictures from our first day in Singapore. View Post

Welcome to Singapore

We made it to Singapore! We left Houston early Wednesday, and we landed in Singapore early Friday. It was only a 30 hour trip with stops in Chicago and Hong Kong.

We got our hotel and internet. Singapore has free wifi throughout the whole country. It's about 1 in the morning here, and we should be tired from traveling. Unfortunately, we're both awake. The time difference is +13 hours. It's Friday, 1 am here and 2 pm on Thursday in Houston.

Singapore looks pretty amazing from our drive from the airport. The freeways are certainly clean and pretty, and I like the internet. Our only frustration was with the light switches in our hotel. Marie finally figured out that you had to use the room key to activate the lights.

We'll post more later

Getting Ready

We're getting ready to leave for our trip. We've been doing chores around the house to make sure everything is all buttoned up. We're leaving on June 27, and we get back August 8. It's a long time to be gone, but we're glad that we've got the time.

Thanks to our parents and Aunt Sue for watching Chester and Maggie while we're away!

We're taking our computer with us to keep the blog updated. We also be on Skype if anyone wants to talk to us. Our skype address is Krueger-Miller.
