We had a busy start to the day - one more repack of the bags and then straight out to Changi. It seemed strange to be driving on the ECP one last time, it felt like we were off on just another holiday rather than leaving life as we know it behind!
The boys were excited to see the planes and the 1hr 15min flight flew by in no time (haha). They were so well behaved, Daniel even fell asleep on the descent. Long may it continue! Callum was fascinated flying through the clouds, particularly when the air in the aircon vents starting looking misty: "Look, the clouds are coming in the plane!" He managed to keep Daniel in line during takeoff too: "No kicking Daniel, or I'll push this button and you'll float up, up, up out of the plane OK."
Our first drama for the trip occurred on the drive to the hotel. We were discussing the boys' sleeping arrangements when I realized we hadn't collected Daniel's cot from the carousel. D'oh. We were picked up by the hotel so the driver called their staff at the airport who found the "missing" bag in under 5 minutes and called back to say it'd be on the next bus. Crisis averted (and in actual fact, we're using the hotel portacot while we're here anyway as it's bigger).
We were amazed to walk into our apartment at the Marriott Vacation Club. It's huge with a plunge pool straight outside and two enormous bathrooms. We got the kids out to the pool ASAP and then realized we were all starving so went to Turtle Island (shopping centre next door) for an early tea. Daniel had a great time bopping along with the music in the restaurant as he ate :)
We've just this minute put the boys to bed and apart from a few minutes of, "Daniel, no talking I'm trying to go to sleep ok? Ok Daniel? Daniel can you hear me? Are you listening Daniel? Daniel!!" from Callum, so far so good on the room sharing and being in yet another bedroom.
