To Holland without a passport!

Indiana and Michigan, 20-21 Apr 2012



This is probably THE way to see the US - going on a road trip, driving and stopping along the way at whatever takes our fancy. Well, this is our first and - for now - our last..

I *heart* Sg > NY

New York, 13-15 Apr 2012



Singapore? No, it's Singapore Day in New York! Yup, the event was our motivation for this trip..

We stayed in a hotel in Chinatown and pretty much just ate around there except for our excursions into Brooklyn. So no itinerary to post..

It was supposed to be an eating trip but I think we didn't overeat (too much, all the time), which was good for our bellies.. In fact, we walked so much especially in the first four days that it might have been a net loss!

Back in February, we made plans for three holidays in March and April, and this babymoon to the Bahamas was the first!

It was such a relaxing holiday! We slept a lot, ate a lot, walked a lot, watched a lot of TV - all without the usual distraction of smart phones and emails and homework. It was bliss :)
