Looong Trip!
I’d just arrived at my hotel room in Singapore. Finally. I left my house in San Juan at 7AM this morning. Unfortunately, I’d been getting bad luck all day. At the check in counter at NAIA2, a couple of passengers (or the clerk person) held up the line for a good 30 minutes, cause of some golf clubs I think.
When I was finally checking in, the guy asked me if I wanted an emergency exit seat, and I said yes, cause that typically meant more legroom. When I got on the plane however, I realized that the extra legroom meant not having a seat in front of me, and thus not having any place to put my bag under (I hate stowing my stuff in the overhead compartments). In addition to that, the door was rather… extra bulky and made my seat feel so cramped.
So I make it to Singapore, get through immigration without problems. I head to the luggage carousel to pick up my stuff, and, would you believe it, the tarpauline that I brought with me was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, a lady was having the same problem and got the stewards there to have a look around, and they picked up my stuff instead of getting her stuff. Hehe.
The worst part though was the airport transfer that came with my hotel package. Usually, would rather do away with that and just find my own way to wherever, but as these were all last minute arrangements (thanks to Travel On Demand for always pulling through with my last minute planning), I wasn’t able to check and modify the package anymore and decided, hey, that’ll save me a good 30SGD to take the transfer. So I find the guy with my name at the arrival area, and was instructed to wait til all the people they’re waiting for arrives. So I waited. For an hour. Should’ve taken the cab or MRT.
At the very end of it all though, the hotel gave me a Premiere Club room. (NICE!) And I found out that I need not go to Marina at Keppel Bay today so I’ve the afternoon and evening to go and… EAT! Lau Pa Sat or Maxwell road! Anyway, some pics of the room (this actually made my day):
love it!
