Well we have finally arrived in Singapore and I have 1 tip for you all: Business Class is the only way to go. We went through check in and fast-track security in 15 minutes - fan-bleeding-tastic! Enough time to enjoy the pleasures of the lounge before partaking of the very generous servings of champagne on board. 12 hours zapped past although I wasn't quite as au fait with the bed mechanism as I might have been and of course didn't want to 'fess up that we didn't always travel that way. So by the time I'd arsed around having my legs in every conceivable position (!!) it was almost time for breakfast. And Singapore Airlines took my request for 'fish meals' very literally.
So once we'd landed we had time for a quick shower before heading to the 'Long Bar' at Raffles hotel where casting your peanut shells on the floor is obligatory. I couldn't quite bring myself to ask for a 'Singapore Sling' as the 101 English people who were already in there (many clutching M&S carrier bags) had already done just that!
Just time for a quick turnaround now before heading out for the evening. Hope you're all enjoying the cold weather. It's a bit steamy out here!

Where did you get your insider info on the weather, you hadn't even landed and we were under 2" or snow and believe me the only conceivable position for our legs is curled up under a duvet - man it's cold!!!
That steamy climate sounds wonderful. I can only say those boots would have had a great time here the last few days.
keep the news coming!
