Arrow Town Initially, our plan was to spend the morning exploring Queenstown before driving onward to Te Anau. However after walking through the town last night, both Gimpy and I felt that if you're not in it for the adventure activities there isn't much for us to see. So we started looking at areas near Queenstown to check out and one that came up was Arrow Town. Its a small town that is 15...

Last Day in Singapore Today is my last full day in Singapore and I wanted to spend half of it at the airport. In a previous trip through Singapore Changi Airport I was amazed at how much there was to do there. I wanted to ensure I had enough time to explore it all. So for my last night, I booked a hotel at the airport itself so I didn't have to transit back and fourth just to visit the airport....
