Revisiting Singapore...as Executives

Traveling to a country for a day, getting lost, waisting tons of time and figuring out how not to visit that place was great practice. On our second round of visiting Singapore we had a fantastic time and knew just what to expect. As an added bonus, we were able to buy a lifetime supply of condoms at House of Condom :-).

We had been pretty conservative for most of the trip, but Singapore will wipe conservative right out from under you. We quickly blew a wad of money on the cable car to Sentosa Island, which was a lovely ride over the water and gave a great view of the city. This is rated the number one most toursity thing you can do here. Check. 



After seeing how good we looked as high adventurers, we heeded the advice of the signs all over the island and decided that happiness really is flying without wings. As a mid-afternoon tropical stormed ensued we took flight in the world's largest indoor sky diving tunnel. It was VERY different from actually diving as there is no free fall time and the whole jumping out of an airplane bit is eliminated, but it was outrageously fun and we were really happy to have had the opportunity. Highly suggested to anyone that has the chance!



For my Mom and Dad! We found a Hershey's store and had to take a photo with this guy. Too funny.
A couple of shots of the city at night from the Cable Car. The city transforms at sunset and becomes a mecca of restaurants, entertainment and energy.

5:30am flight? Who cares!? Let's figure out the public transportation system and go across the city to see the Gardens by the Bay at night! Turns out it was well worth it. It was calm and peaceful and this "super tree grove" transported us to another world. A wonderful ending to a fantastic trip.
