Trust the machine
The screen says we're there but out of the window it's too dark and foggy to make out anything.
Are we there yet?
Notes from the trip's second tier:
No matter how much entertainment they give you (watched "The History Boys" and "Pan's Labirynth"), after about twelve hours on a plane you start feeling a little bit of cabin fever. Even the sleep isn't as good. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm just too excited to sleep!

I heart business class
The following are quick notes I took on the trip.
20/04: It's early evening on a friday afternoon as it takes us forever to go all the way from New Jersey to JFK airport, as the traffic is as slow as it can be. We're starving as we get to the airport but luckily we have access to Singapore Airline's lounge and they have soup. The view of the runway isn't half bad either. We can see our two-story plane. The flight to Frankfurt is very nice. They they try to provide you with as many distractions as they can on board, including 80 different movies you can watch. Even though the bed isn't quite flat (it's at an 8º angle) I manage to get two hours of sleep without having to pop any pills. That is quite an achievement for me, as I never sleep on planes, even in long flights. All in all, I feel very pampered and the weather is Germany looks great. It's a good beginning.

An offer you can't refuse
To fly halfway around the globe and spend six months in the city-state of Singapore. This was the opportunity that my husband and I were given and which we gladly accepted. The plan is to explore as much of Asia as we possibly can during this time. I was born and raised in Portugal and I'm currently living in New York, USA. This will be my second time relocating to a different continent. Only, this time I don't have as many movies and TV shows to give me an idea of what to expect. I believe this is what they call an adventure.
