The First Step

In our case, it begins with a single skip...

Airport Adventures

We just arrived at the immaculately tidy Changi Airport to catch a flight on Cathy to Bangkok. En route in the taxi, Bella wanted to know whether we'll be sitting in those really fancy seats in the front. We had our first lesson class and privileges of the wealthy. We told her that her not so fancy seat was in fact a privilege. Upon arrival at Terminal 1, Mark has misplaced his passport in his black passport pouch, in his black travelpack. After some unpacking, we manage to find its whereabouts. My stress level rises and Mark remains zen. Bella finds the 'Travellator', the flat walking escalator a thrill. There's free internet here so she even enjoys a game of Starfall. At our boarding gate, she is curious with the cargo being loaded on the planes and wonders where the cats have to go. Mark reassures her that they are safe in cages in the cargo and given pills to make them sleepy for the ride. Worries are diminished. As I write this note, Bella is playing her princess deck of cards with Mark. She's been an amazing little nomad and it's only the beginning. We look forward to touching down in Bangkok in a few hours.
