Back in Singapore

Quick blog post from Singapore. We have 4 hours here before we have a snooze on the overnight flight to Seoul where we will spend the day doing a city tour.

So Jess got the damn Bali belly last night and he was up and down all night. He was not a happy camper this morning but he bounced back after an extended sleep and we managed to enjoy our last moments at Amankila by chilling in a bale by the pool and having a nice lunch.We had a driver to the airport and again traffic was a nightmare, pure chaos.
The drive was only made enjoyable when the driver asked us if we would like a soft drink, water or beer for the drive. We had soft drinks, of course.
We flew Singapore Airlines in business class from Bali to Singapore and again the service was top notch, perfection. The airport here is also over the top glam, classical music playing, high end shops, so calm and organized.

We are chilling in the business class lounge where no less than 12 hot dishes are served (I counted), a sandwich station, sushi station, desert station, you name it. Never mind the free flowing champagne or whatever else you want. It kind of reminds us of the United lounge in Seattle where we were given a ticket for a free drink and there were some nut packets and some fruit to choose from.

Anyhow, we are on our way home and feel ready to come home (weird). We try post something in Seoul after our tour.

that is what you call those lounging things, a bale?

That drive looks pretty gross-I mean if you had to do it yourself-and the heat-Arrgh.

I don't think I would leave that lounge-sounds great.

Hey Miss Gucci, thanks for joining us again, we love you comments. Those loungey things are bales pronounced "ballet", we were losers and called them "bails".

Cutes,I so agree with you about them having a blog up & running all the time, they are so humorous!

Look at you guys with that food, either that was before Jess was down or after he started feeling better.

Glad you got to enjoy your last day in Bali, relaxing!

Loved the blog & all the pictures you posted, thanks again, was so exciting getting up & reading what you guys had been up to while we slept.

Safe flight home or to Korea, for now, look forward to your post from there.

Jesse, happy to hear you have bounced back. Couldn't imagine what travelling would be like with that Bali belly.

That's what happens when you relax on vacation - you are ready to come home and are full of life and vitality. Know what I mean? xo

i thought the name bail was a tad low class... ballet is much better.
safe flight home you two! and no worries, that spill i mentioned is hardly noticeable, however i did have to rearrange the living room. xox *d
