Singapore Day 1

ByTravelling Minion March 21, 2020 0 Comments
Breakfast at Killiney Kopitiam After a long day of travel and a full nights rest and sleep in, I felt refreshed and ready to explore Singapore. I had a quick chat with my hotel front desk. They recommended a nearby cafe called Killiney Kopitam for traditional Singaporean breakfast fare. I may have been slightly overambitious but I ended up ordering a Nasi Goreng and a Kaya toast with egg and soya...

Guam to Nagoya After crashing at my Guam AirBNB, I had to get up bright and early for the last series of my flights to Singapore before settling for a few days. I was excited for this element of my trip as my business class flights on my itinerary would start today. The first of which would be a United flight from Guam to Nagoya. Because the United staff had a bit of trouble dealing with my...

Diamond Head Another day in Honolulu! After waking up and getting ready we made our way to Diamond head. While the plan was to wake up earlier and try to get to the top to see sunrise, we took our time getting ready and only arrived to start our ascent. The problem with arriving at this time is it starts to get busy and temperatures start to rise. We started our ascent and stopping for photos...

Travelling Minion in 2019

Wow, I'm a little ashamed to be writing this in the middle of January. I was so on the ball last year, that I feel the need to start this off with an apology! While I did get to travel a good amount in 2019, I was very suspect in posting about it. As can be evidenced by the fact I'm still writing about Hawaii in May! I'm not entirely sure why, all I can say is that life got really busy for me in...
