The Trip Over

Erica & Jackie dropped us off at DFW airport.  The flight from Dallas to Tokyo was about 13 hours and fairly full.  We both slept a bit in between meals and movies.  Raye watched four movies; Paul opted to drain Raye's iPod battery watching TV shows.  The 3 hour layover in Tokyo spent at Admirals Club.  Raye took a shower while Paul answered e-mails.
Flight from Tokyo to Singapore on Japan Airlines was very empty so Raye had the whole middle section to lay down and sleep.  We both slept a good portion of that 7 hour flight.  Luggage arrived without incident and company-arranged transport to service apartment was most welcome given the 1 AM arrival.
Service apartment is 2BR and located very close to Orchard MRT (subway) stop.  We are very pleased with accommodations and service level.  We hooked up Paul's laptop and tested the MagicJack phone system by calling Erica & Jackie.  It works great so we have free calls to/from the US in addition to Skype.
After checking in and doing some unpacking, we hit the bed for a good nights sleep.

it is funny how a seven hour flight can feel short (after a thirteen hour flight)...

Bruce and I want to wish you a b'hatzlacha - the best of luck on your three year adventure!!

May you have a wonderful Shabbat in your new "temporary" home filled with gut restorative "schulffy" (sleep)!

With hugs,
