Hotel in Bali - even better in person



The first hotel for the trip was in Sanur Bali.  It is lovely with a huge family suite, walk in closet, bathroom overlooking a garden and a small pool.  I hope all the placs are this great!

 

Singapore Airport - Checking it out




When we arrived at Singapore Airport we checked the in-transit Hotel rates. Handy but pretty expensive - they charge for 6 hours and then more per hour after that. Kenna and Mom stayed in the hotel and Dad and I slept on the reclining chairs. After a few hours of sleep we explored the airport - it was amazing. We watched the Euro Cup on the big screen, had a foot massage, saw the huge koi fish, the butterfly farm and had breakfast at KFC. It was the coolest airport ever. We went and checked out Mom and Kenna's room - behind the curtain is a wall! Not even a window. Weird.
 
Here I am getting a free foot and calf massage - amazing!


















Here is mom - she liked it tool!



















Huge Koi fish!
