In case you have never visited Asia from the US let me assure you it is a long flight.  No need to adjust your watch if your from NYC, just go from am to pm and you’re all set.  I have to say that even as a fairly seasoned traveller when I woke up after 6 hours of sleep on the plane and saw I had 8 hours left to Hong Kong….  

Well OK I admit it was very nice, but even so  I was still a little stir crazy.  I needed a snack and I got a nice hot bowl of noodles and duck.   After my fifth movie, 2 chapters of a good book, and sleep I still had 5 hours left, ugh!  It reminded me of being a kid on a long car trip with my dad…I wanted to go up to the cockpit and knock on the door and say “Are we there yet?”    First of all let me just say…Business Class to Singapore is far more comfortable than a ride in a Buick to the Wisconsin Dells!  

Secondly…If I had knocked on the cockpit door nowadays I’m sure you would be reading about me being caned and jailed in Singapore.  OK truth, I was born in 1967 and that is not our Buick, actually my dad drove Olds Tornadoes and Cadillac’s, I just like the picture.  OK well more to report from Singapore, if I ever get there.  Check Back for more on Plantation Asia.
