We made our first trip back to the US to attend our niece's wedding in Cincinnati. It also happened to be Paul's 35th class reunion.The adventure began at 4:30 am Thursday morning (September 18) when United called to let us know our flight to Tokyo had been cancelled. After talking to their US reservation staff enroute the airport and for about 30 minutes after arrival at Changi, they came through with alternate arrangements that got us to Cincinnati an hour later than originally scheduled and in time to attend the end of the rehearsal dinner. We were impressed and grateful.
The family time was terrific. We were able to pose for a great family photo. We also were able to have an outing for Skyline Chili and Graeter's ice cream. And through the technology of dry ice, there is now Graeter's ice cream in Singapore -- at least in our refrigerator! Paul & his sister made a fast trip to Jungle Jim's the quintessential foodie destination.
The reunion on Saturday night was a treat. Our class has been able to have these every 5 years, thanks to some terrific people back in Cincinnati who get together and make it happen.
Early Sunday morning came too soon as Paul began the 28 hour trip back to Singapore (via Chicago and Hong Kong) and Raye returned to Dallas with Erica & Jackie. She returns to Singapore on October 2 after working, visiting friends, and celebrating Rosh Hashanah at Beth Torah.
