Well off we go





Well the trip starts. We left Brisbane on what can be called a typical hot humid day to arrive in Singapore on a typical hot, humid night. The girls were painful on the plane but that is to be expected. Carmody could not sit still with a gun to head and super glue on her butt but conversely the flight started a little rough and Taylor was a bit air sick, not bad though enough to put her off her dinner. Carmody informed us around a mouth full of nuggets that she too was feeling a bit sick. Ha.

Singapore is some place. 3000% humidity according to Peta and she would know. We basically walked out of the airport without hurdle we just walked towards the nothing to declare sign and presto we were outside. We then caught a Taxi. One guy hailed it, one guy opened a door and another shoved the bags in the boot, Another took the trolley away and finally the guy that did not speak english was ellected taxi driver. Lines on the road must mark graves because they aren't for driving inside. Also looked a bit like he lived in here. "Off to the Royal Plaza hotel on Scott Rd Please" Quizical look? "R-o-y-a-l P-l-a-z-a! S-c-o-t-t R-o-a-d" Can't believe I just said it that slow, oh my God I am a stereo type. No worries we are off. I have visions of a Chimpanzee and a bottle of Pepsi Max, "Don't worry no sugar!" Carmody Says "Dad is very queit in the front!" No I am not I have to keep body count and at speed that is hard.

Jokes aside Singapore is lovely, clean, hot and humid and the hotel is nice. Better enjoy life now as thed next flight is 13 hours followed by 4 of driving. Do I hear Justifiable Homicide anyone.
