After a 28 hour trip, i finally made it to Singapore!
The travel went well beside the fact that i missed the connecting flight in Hong Kong which delayed my departure by 3 hours. Not too bad.
Met some nice people on the plane, a sushi chef from the Willow in Hudson which Marc, Micheline and I will be visiting when I get back from this trip. She was going to Hong Kong to visit her brother who lives there. I met Roshan on the segment from HK to Singapore, nice person, he is originally from India, grew up in HK, studied in San Francisco and now lives in Singapore for work. He nicely offered a guided tour of the city which i will most gladly accept.
I am exhausted! Both physically and mentally. It's been a long journey getting here.
Staying at the Fairmont, right downtown Singapore. The view from the 10th floor is SPECTACULAR!
I was so excited when walking into my room that i jumped up and down like a little girl.
Took a hot bath with a glass of Hardy's Nottage Hill from Australia listening to Sydney Classical station. What else could i be asking for at this point?
The girl at the reception desk was quite excited about my last name, to my surprise, she is a big fan of Roy Dupuis and is now convinced that he and I are related. Made me feel like a star for 2 minutes.
I feel blessed by this wonderful opportunity and truce from the past few months.
Thank you god!
Love

Hi Sophie,happy to read you made it!
ReplyDeleteYou are in one word AMAZING!!
It's really unbelievable, no admirable how you are able to turn everything into something positive! Most people would have complained after such a long trip but you have the gift to turn a smile on someone's face.
Maybe you don't realize but you are a STAR!!
Take care,
Joop
