They made it!

Chelsea and Ross arrived at the Changi Airport in Singapore this morning at 1am (our time). They said it was a LOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG trip but were glad to be here. This is the first time they have traveled without any checked in luggage. So nice. All they had was their back packs!

We took a taxi home and they LOVED our apartment complex and apartment (on the 18th floor). Chelsea got a little woozy looking out the window! We stayed up until about 3:30am. Slept well and until about 9am. Chelsea and I went down to the gym and worked out for about 30 minutes. My next door neighbor made us a special Spanish dish for lunch - Tortilla de Potata (yum!) We headed out the door around noon.

We went to Jurong East Mall and did some shopping as well as let Ross and Chelsea taste some local cuisine (Curried Chickern Korean BBQ) Ross is determined to try Pig Organ Soup before he leaves. (Yuck!)

We then went on to have coffee at the McCafe in the mall (always a treat) and did more shopping. We shopped until we dropped - back at the house about 7pm. We walked across the street to eat at McDonald's (they wanted something "normal"). Chelsea was asleep by 9:15 and Ross was not far behind.

What a great day. We are SO glad that Ross and CHelsea are here for Christmas! Wish Audra adn Brian were here but we will count on them coming another time when Baby Bailey is with them!

Will post pictures ASAP.
