Departing Tomorrow

I am on my way to Singapore tomorrow morning May 7th at 6:18 a.m. I am not looking forward to the long layover in Chicago and the longer flight to Tokyo. I always have trouble sleeping on those flights, perhaps the Ambien the doctor gave me will help a bit.

I am looking forward to my return as so much has changed since my last visit in 2006. Now there's a food crisis, the dollar is weaker against currencies there, there's been a coup in Thailand, chewing gum has been available in Singapore for nearly two years, etc. I'm also looking forward to the sights and sounds of Southeast Asia as well as to the food and culture there. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for the heat. It is about 65 degrees in Radford this morning and over 90 in Singapore during the day.

More upon arrival in Singapore.
