We arrived in Singapore in the late afternoon. Princess did not meet us, so we took a cab to the Fairmont Hotel. Very nice hotel with great service. We had a message from Gretchen and Joe. They were walking the streets, but we planned to meet for dinner. Since they were recovering from jet lag, we went into the mall for a light supper.
My first full day in Singapore was spent in a walk-in clinic. I found a lump under my arm and we decided to have it looked at. The doctor sent me to a surgeon since she wanted it to be biopsied. Long and short, I had a minor procedure to have it removed. Stitches will be removed in 7 days on board the Diamond Princess. Not a fun first day.But we did head out to the famous Raffles Hotel to take a look at the Long Bar and of course, taste our first Singapore Sling.
Our second day in Singapore we spent with Joe & Gretchen. We went to the famous “flyer”, a huge Ferris wheel that goes around once every 30 minutes. Of course, it rained, so my photos were not the best. Are you starting to see a theme here?

Hi Grandma and Grandpa,
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you are having plenty of fun on the trip. Maybe we could go on another cruise together for my high school graduation. I love you and can't wait to see you when you return home.
Love,
Quinn
