Travel & Day 1

So we finally made it! After a 2 hour drive from College Station to Houston, 3 hour flight from Houston to Detroit, 12 hour 45 minute flight from Detroit to Tokyo, and a 7 hour 15 minute flight from Tokyo to Singapore, we arrived in Singapore around 1 am Saturday morning. After getting through Customs and getting our luggage, we stayed at the 5 star hotel right next to the airport, the Crowne Plaza. After 4 or so hours of sleep, we ate a wonderful breakfast, then took a bus tour and boat tour of the main parts of Singapore. We then ate our first Singapore meal at a restaurant not far from Little India (no idea the name). Afterwards, we met our host families back at the hotel. I'm staying with a married couple named Hidier and Zafeera, and they have been incredibly welcoming. I've uploaded the pictures I took yesterday and today as well. Seeing as it's 10:36 pm our time (9:36 am Dallas) and I haven't had much actual sleep the past few days, I'm about to go crash and slowly but surely become adjusted to the time difference. Happy belated 50th birthday Dad!
