Are we there yet?

are we there yet?

So, you want to go to Singapore?   It's not as easy as it sounds.
Let me tell you about a trip.

Saturday, July 31st - we wake up in Saint John, New Brunswick and begin packing the van (thanks Judy!)

11:00 a.m. - after a great sendoff and a few tears we begin the first leg of our journey.  Destination Halifax.

Taipei

3:00 p.m. - we arrive in Halifax and say tearful goodbye to Charlie and Ruth.  We arrived a little early for our flight so that Charlie and Ruth could get back home in the daylight.

8:00 p.m. - we leave for Toronto.  2 hours later we touch down in Toronto

1:00 a.m. - we leave Toronto on a 15 hour non-stop flight to Taipei, Taiwan.  You heard me right.  15 hours! Try sitting in coach for that long! 

Taipei

We arrived in Taipei at about 4:00 a.m. Taipei time and had a 3 hour layover before our flight to Singapore.

10:00 a.m. - after a 30 minute delay on the tarmac, we finally departed for Singapore and arrived art 1:00 p.m. Singapore time.

Talk about an epic journey.  Total Length of the flight = 31 hours

You add in our transportation time to Halifax and our wait time there and the trip was closer to 40 hours.
