The on season runs from November through January, so there will be lots and LOTS of rain for us, but it shouldn’t impede our fun much. We’ll just take it as it comes, and make sure to take an umbrella.

So we fly out tomorrow and arrive into Singapore at 11:57pm. Then our adventures in Singapore begin on Thursday, but as we all know, the process of getting there is often an adventure in and of itself.
Currently our to-see list in Singapore includes:
*Bird Park
*Chinese Opera
*Botanical Garden
*Parliament Complex
*Orchid Garden
*War Memorials
*Clark Quay
*Fort Canning Park
*Boat Quay
*Japanese and Chinese Gardens
*Chjmes
*Sentosa
*Various temples, churches, mosques
*Little India
*Chinatown (tea house!)
*Zoo (and night tour)
*Singapore History Museum
*Asian Civilizations Museum
Now I seriously doubt this will be the only things we will see, but it is definitely a place to start. We have a really awesome guide book (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide to Singapore ISBN: 0-7894-9722-0, if anyone is interested) that takes us area by area, so we'll start with that and see how much we can get done. There's no daily itenerary as such, but should be plenty full anyway.
Stephen’s dad also gave us a great list of places to eat as well, as we all know the best thing about traveling to new and exotic places is the food!!
So off we go on our first married adventure—monsoons and all. See you in Singapore!!
