Day 1: Brisbane Airport to Singapore

So we have made it to Singapore on time at 3:30am Australian Time.

Other than sitting in 1 hour of traffic from the city to the airport everything else went to plan. Dani and I and met Pettsy, Pettsy's Dad and Asher at the airport around 5:30pm. Asher and Pettsy had already checked in and had managed to skip the massive line by going into business class check-in. Well done. Funny thing though is that when I waiting in economy one of the airport crew asked me to go over to business class check-in. Even more coincidental was the lady that served me was the same lady that served Asher and Pettsy. So things were looking great!

After going through all the formalities it was now a waiting game. We sat there eager to board the plane. However, when we did board the Emirates plane we were horrified. The seats were tiny. Asher and I had recalled that seats on Singapore Airlines were slightly bigger and more comfortable. Singapore Airlines was looking a lot better. Service was not too crash hot either. If ever you asked for something from the stewards it always seemed to be too much trouble for them. But in all fairness to Emirates, the on board entertainment was great. There were over 20 games (including multiplayer games against other passengers) and over 600 channels of movies, music and tv shows! Unfortunately, there wasnt 'Sex in the City'. However, something Singapore airlines didn't have was an onboard forward camera that showed you what the pilots were seeing (including the take off and landing). That was awesome!

So we made it to Singapore and although we were eager to get on at first we were more eager to get off to stretch our legs. My mum, brother and extended Singapore family met us at 2am Singapore time. To much of Asher's fear there was no rest for the wicked. It was straight to supper where we ate Inidian Roti Prahta. It was nice to eat real asian food.

After supper it was time to go back to the family hotel and rest.

I have done this blog in a rush as I only have 15 minutes. So I will proof read it later.

Till Next Time!
