Today was the day of travel. I really hate airports and flying on a good day….so arriving to be told our flight was cancelled due to mechanical issues (after it had already been changed twice) was not a good day! When we eventually left Canberra for Sydney I was pretty convinced we were not going to make it to the Singapore connection. As it was, we arrived, transferred terminals and then RAN through the airport. We made it with about 5 mins to spare. Arrrrrrrrgh.
Flying out over Sydney is always pretty though. 
After 8hrs of uneventful, slightly bumpier than expected travel we arrived. Qantas really hasn’t impressed me this time around – lots of booking issues, delays and their entertainment system was average at best. When we finally disembarked it turned out Changi Airport immigration is currently a shitshow (still unsure on why) so we joined the lines of angry, tired and harassed looking people trying to get through. It took nearly an hour but the process of collecting bags and getting a taxi was easy from there….$23 later our taxi dropped us off at our home for the next 9 days and omgsh it’s so nice! I pinched the first photo from the internet but the others are all mine.
Things I remembered: my doggo. I checked in on him as soon as we got here and he’s having a lovely time at Laurel Pet Lodge!
Things I forgot: Percy the platypus! B is now claiming Percy is a xenophobe and refused to come to Singapore
Hotel Fort Canning (HFC) perk 1: the pillow menu and decent bed. First time in a long time my hotel experience has resulted in a full nights sleep!
