Left for Changi airport straight from the Heerron. Arrived @ the airport an hour early for our 17:45 flight to Bangkok only to find it had been cancelled and replaced with a flight @ 19:10. Having plenty of time after check-in, we wandered to terminal 2 for dinner. We found an American Chili’s and after spending 10 minutes figuring out […]
April 30 – May 3, 1998 We took a little trip up to Phuket for the 3 day holiday weekend (Labour Day in Singapore) just for a little relaxation. We spent the whole weekend just laying around the beach and doing a little wandering through the restaraunts and shops around the beach. And we rented wave runners and did some […]
Wednesday, April 8,1998 We arrive in Venice around 4:30 in the afternoon and spend a while figuring out the vaporetti, or water buses. We take one to the hotel and thankfully we were only a 300 yard walk to the hotel from the stop. We got a decent view of Venice although our water bus didn’t go down the Grand […]
Tuesday, April 7, 1998 We arrive at our hotel in Bologna about 11:30 and spend a little time reading the map and waiting for our room to be ready, then we set out for lunch. Frommer’s didn’t list many dining options or a map with locations, so we decided to pick for ourselves. After walking though Piazza Maggiore (the main […]
Saturday, April 4, 1998 The train pulls into Florence and we take a short taxi ride to the hotel. It’s right in the middle of everything and our room is huge (compared to every other place, but not big by American standards). It even has a TV and a phone (the TV was never even turned on.) Our hotel in […]
Wednesday, April 1, 1998 Got to Rome at 9pm. Bags didn’t make it to the carousel until 9:40. Most frustrating : they didn’t say why! We almost got swindled by a pseudo taxi driver who wanted 150,000 Lira for a ride to Rome (about $80). Instead we got in a taxi line and paid 68,000 Lira to the Hotel Primavera […]
Sunday, March 29, 1998 First day married! Jill doesn’t have shoes and has to go barefoot through the hotel lobby. She has blisters on her chest from the "sticker bra." Keith carries his tux in a plastic bag. We have mimosas for breakfast at Jill’s mom’s. Keith’s mom could only handle one after the post wedding party at the Country […]
