Next stop Singapore - Shopping

After a 19-hour flight from LA, we arrived in Singapore. I have to think really hard to even remember how we got to the hotel...I think I was still asleep! That's right, the hotel sent us a car. We were really hoping to be on one of the new A380s with the lie flat beds in business class, but alas we were on an old one. The flight was long but the champagne made sleeping easy and the trip breez...

The 2007 trip - First stop, Los Angeles

This year our trip to Asia began in LA. Not much new to report there. Crystal chandaliers on Rodeo Drive, tons of hybrid cars and traffic. As usual we stayed at the Peninsula in Beverly Hills. As far as we're concerned, there is no other place we'd stay. We weren't thrilled with our original room which was overlooking the parking lot. No problem, they changed it. There was electrical work be...

Brussels, Belgium

Manneken Pis - just a short walk from the Grand Place-Grote Markt is the Manneken Pis, a small bronze statue thought to represent the "irreverent spirit" of Brussels. This statue of a child performing one of Nature's most basic functions is believed to have been inspired either by a child who, while in a tree, found a special way to drive away invading troops, OR to commemorate a child who found a...

Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Bangkok, Thailand

Last year we stayed at the Sukhothai, which we loved, but this year we decided since we will only be in Bangkok one night to visit one of my high school friends, we decided to mix it up a bit and stay on the river. Plus my niece works for Marriott and we got a great deal! The Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa is a city resort with a difference. The resort has every 5-star facility that a business or...
