Spring Vacation - Part 1

First stop...... Singapore

We started out by taking a 4 hour flight from Chennai to Singapore - which brought us in at 6:00am. We had a 15 hour layover so we decided to explore Singapore.

There was a train at the airport that could take us anywhere we wanted to go. The Singapore Zoo was first on my list but got voted out due to the high chance of rain. The kids thought the animals wouldn't come out. The Safari was only available at night - so that was out. My next choice was a bus tour of Singapore - BORING was the reply. Can we split up?? No, let's stay together. Sentosa Island was it.

There was a ton to do on Sentosa. We tried to get in to the new Universal Studios but it was sold out. Sold Out?? Do amusement parks really sell out? I guess we needed to get tickets on line weeks ago. Oh well, we tried. We ended up riding the mountain luge, went to several "inter-active" exhibits, ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, toured the Hersey's store, and discovered yummy popcorn at Garrett's Popcorn of Chicago.

In spite of having to lug our 5 carry-on's around and getting soaked in the rain, we had a memorable time!
