As soon as we came home from Perth, Australia we found out that Matt had a business trip to Singapore.  So of course we booked tickets and off to Singapore as a family we went.  I really like these business trips where Matt’s company pays for his plane ticket and hotel room, so we just have to pay for our plane tickets!  Matt flew out on Monday and had business meetings Tuesday-Thursday.  The kids and I flew to Singapore on Wednesday and did our own thing on Thursday and stayed together as a family for Friday-Sunday.

We stayed at the Fullerton Hotel and because of some connections we got a free upgrade.  We had a beautiful view from our window and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.  Singapore is truly a melting pot and it was difficult to figure out if people were Singaporean, Malaysian, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.  And it is also true that Singapore is expensive.  We probably spent a small fortune during our time there, but we made some wonderful memories!

Fullerton Hotel is were we stayed. It has an interesting past and has been around since 1928.
