SINGAPORE

In late 2018, we were informed by my brother-in-law Norman that he was springing for a trip to Singapore in December!! His wife Malou was attending a conference there and he wanted to have someone to hang out with during the day when she was at her conference. So, he surprised us with this unexpected and wonderful trip which was a combined wedding anniversary and Christmas gift from him and Malou!!! you can't tell me that God doesn't like to give us nice surprises... this was definitely one for our bucket list...

this was our first time since 2005 that we flew out of Manila since we normally fly out of Cebu 

all aboard!! 

Leaving Manila 

Approaching Singapore 

waiting for our baggages 

ran into Jessica Soho of GMA News at the airport

Jessica and I started out together at GMA News in 1984. I was a news co-anchor and she was a field reporter.

Now she's a hotshot TV personality...

Makes me wonder what would have happened if I had returned to GMA after Erin was born... 

This greeted us at the lobby of our hotel... so festive 

the public transportation system in Singapore is unreal!! 

doing some sightseeing... 

dinner that first night was at this food court 

off to do some shopping on our 2nd day...  

taxis in Singapore are all makes and models, even Mercedes Benz!! 

stopped off for drinks and nachos... 

back again for another round of shopping in Chinatown... 

 

off to Sentosa Island...

what a beauty!!

I was thrilled to be able to watch FOX News again!!
