We
were excited to have our first visitor in Singapore last week. Mama B came to
visit for 9 days (+/- some travel time) from Las Vegas. We put together a draft
itinerary so we made sure she was able to see as much as possible of Singapore
and enjoy a little relaxation time as well.
Singapore
hasn’t had rain for 30 days, which breaks an 100 year record, but luckily for
Mama B the rain showed up just for her. (Not to mention the rain got rid of the
haze from the fires in Malaysia and Indonesia.) We are sad to see her go home
but happy that she made her first trip to Asia to see us! We
asked her to be a guest writer and provide us with her traveling tips to Singapore.
Mama
B’s 10 tips for traveling to Singapore.
1. It’s
hot and you walk a lot. Pack accordingly including a hat. Bring a sweater for
inside as almost everything is air conditioned.
2. Bring lots of money- it’s expensive here. There are lots of money exchanges here, which have better rates than the bank. (Bring Amy with you as she might be able to negotiate the exchange rate for you.)
3. Pack
an umbrella!
4. Bring
your allotted two bottles of wine as wine is very expensive here.
5. Do
a little research ahead of time so see what there is to do as some tours and restaurants require advance booking.
6. If you can, land at night so you can get back to the condo, go to bed and attempt to get on the right time zone.

7. Get your mani-pedi before you
show up (that goes for you too boys) as they are not cheap here. Although the place of choice here is Jewel Nails, Marina Bay
8. Some bathrooms don’t have toilet but yet a “squatty potty.” You’ve been warned.
9. Practice your chopstick skills.
10. The meat is different here. Beef is very expensive and chicken isn’t the boneless, skinless chicken breast you’re used to. Plan on eating a lot of noodles, rice and seafood. When in doubt let Raegen order for you.
Happy Trails,
Amy & Raegen (& Mama B)
