May 17/07 1:15 pm Singapore CHANGi airport

Due to the delay departing from Toronto, I arrived in San Francisco with barely enough time to locate and run to my next departure gate. In fact, as I closed in on the gate, personnel were paging me overhead to the desk. In short I made it, and the flight took off on schedule, shortly after 1:00 am pacific, or 4:00 am in Toronto. Betty had told me her and her friends would start their drive down to New York at around 4:00 am. I sent an sms via Cingular, which had usurped Fido on my cell. I don’t know if my messages got through.

The flight was long. But Singapore Airlines lived up to their reputation, and it was as comfortable as any 13.5 hour flight can be. In particular, the food was good, and I found myself looking forward to meals. An elderly Indian couple sat next to me, me at the window, and thus I only left my seat once in those 13.5 hours. Fortunately, I slept some, and they got off when we stopped in Hong Kong.

Now, I’m enjoying, or just enjoyed, a hand pulled noodle lunch at the Singapore Airport, one of the more shopping mall-like ones I’ve visited. I splurged and got three little dragon buns and a diet coke as well. Hoping my meager 15CAD converted to 20 Singapore dollars is enough to cover this.

Anyway, no crazy interesting thoughts in my wiped brain at this time. Still feeling the urge to be home, lying in bed.
