Yawn.... Just arrived in Singapore ( big delays due to fog and knock on effects at Abu Dhabi)
Just a little hick up to prove that it doesn't matter how much you plan or organise stuff, something always throws a curly one at you.
However, I believe that the trick with travel is, is to be flexible... ( and be grateful to have a little extra money stashed away for that rainy day.. thank goodness....)
Our hotel transfer was unable to pick us up at airport - as it was a sedan car and the guy said he only accepts 1 bag per person.. I know.. WHAT? Normally these are those little minivans or mini buses...I've NEVER had issues with per person luggage before..We had 30 kg each plus cabin luggage.( which is a NORMAL amount for any international traveller. so.. The driver suggested I send the children with him to the hotel ( half an hours drive away BTW) or leave Morgan at the airport and he'd come pick him up later. (is anyone imaging my face right now.. after nearly 20 hours of travel, I stink and I am damned tired...)
To be fair, I know he was being helpful but at 2 am (no damn it - anytime) I was not comfortable at all with either leaving a child at a near deserted international airport or letting a stranger take the kids somewhere.
So, I said no thanks and got a minivan to the hotel. (where that little extra stow away cash came in handy)
Sigh.. I guess ya just got to roll with what you are given when you are travelling... sleeping now.. sad we got here so late and are going to be sleeping till we get chucked out at check out time - and not see anything of Singers. Still, its not that far away and there is always a next time.
