several things about the journey. long layover in amsterdam due to optimization of ticket prices. happily, we decided to take the train to amsterdam and walk around. it was a beautiful day and that was wonderful. and no doubt fortified us for the horrendously long flight ahead. because it is a horrendously long flight. and there is a world of difference between monkey and business class (which i will regale you with tales of another day, when i don't have to get up early and fly to kuala lumpur for the day). in the meantime, here are some snapshots of the journey thus far...
totally adore these retro-painted SAS planes. SAS has class. too bad we flew KLM.
love those silver converse all-stars
mmm, frozen hazelnut coffee in (you guessed it) amsterdam
and little pancakes with lovely, tart lemony sauce.
worth the 7-hour layover alone.
playing drawing games in the sunshine.
an interminably long time later, cut to a japanese restaurant at clark quay, singapore
a fountain to play in and keep the sleepies at bay.
crocs are good for something, they can be wet.

and a couple of martinis for the folks.
plus a shirley temple for the pooka.
yes, that's outdoor air conditioning. indefensible.
sneaked a self-portrait in the fitting room of miss whatever while sabin tried on a dress.
gee, i don't look tired at all, do i?
keeping the jetlag at bay with a grande latte.
sorry, i just gotta do starbucks when i see it.
i adore this system of wooden clothespins used by the waitresses
at bi feng tang in the wisma food court.

also adore the sambal kung kang, but failed to photograph it.
will have to go back.
seen in the window of some telecom provider.
loved it.
and it seems like a good note to leave on...
see you soon...
p.s. blogger cutting off the right edge of my photos strangely and i don't have the energy to figure out why, so just know that i'm aware they're kinda cut off, but the originals aren't...i promise to fix it later.

Photos look good here in California....as usual! Have a great trip! I'll stay tuned for all of the excitement I'm sure you and yours will have...a girl has to live vicariously through her bloggy friends....

Those little dutch shoes didn't give anything away, I promise.
Outdoor air conditioning? They didn't have *that* when I was there. 40 years ago. Shocking, right? :)

ah, great account of your journey to the East, makes me want to get on a plane, however interminable the journey... hey, another three months and I'll be going the same way. can't wait
and you don't look tired at all
Are those kernels of corn that your daughter is standing in in the Japanese restaurant in Singapore?
Great pictures! So jealous! Love it.

L.o.v.e. the picture of Sabin at the fountain! She and water seem to get along so well! Is she, perhaps, part mermaid? The clothespin shot was great, too.
Am so looking forward to rest of my vicarious vacation to the Orient. Seems just like yesterday that I was enjoying a pint in Dublin...
wv: hendsp: the condition that occurs when you spend countless hours on an airplane. Your hands are asleep, your hips are locked and those feet you see below you could not possibly be yours.
looks like you are having lots of fun!
Favorite shot...ummm...well...I guess I liked them all...alot!
Happy travels!
great shots, get some rest and enjoy the rest of your trip :)
great photos!! hope you're having a great time!
I think the photos get cut when you decrease the browser window, the sidebar sort of "slides over" the photos. when you make the browser window larger the photos are fully visible. hope you understand what I mean :-)
