It's still dark and our flight is not until 10:10 am ... Arriving at the airport and checking in three hours before take off is the cause of this pre-dawn arising. All packed last night except for the toiletries kit. All the baggage complies with all of the airlines' allowances. We are five carriers for the 10 flights - 13, if you count Aegean hubbing at Athens between Rhodes and Crete as well as Crete and Santorini! There are over 20 hotel bookings and seven cars rented. The 1977 trip year on the road was nothing but backpack, travel cheques and airline ticket. How things have changed?!
Off to Singapore today to stay with friends and former colleagues who teach at the American International School in Singapore. We are laying over for two days. Don't want to rush into the jaws of a vacation. Anyway, A Singapore sling in at the Long Bar at Raffles seems like a civilised way to start the journey.
Leaving the house in the hands of Kristian and Julianne who are moving in to looked after Holi, the Kelpie/Jack Russell dynamo who keeps us company.
Need to get up and go - only five minutes until the appointed time. More to come
