Singapore Airlines’ Longest Flight in the World

ByTravelling Minion March 12, 2023 3 Comments
After leaving the TWA hotel, I make my way back to JFK Terminal 4 which is where Singapore Airlines flies out of. With some time to kill, and being in New York, I figure a visit to Shake Shack is in order. While not wanting to ruin my appetite for the flight I end up snacking on fries before doing a few laps of the terminal to stretch my legs. Typically, I would spend some time in a lounge prior...

Mad Yolks is a cool breakfast sandwich shop and I picked up a great egg sandwich...

This morning I'll be heading out to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher! Instead of doing this on my own, I opted to book a day tour in order to get out to these two spots. Normally I like the freedom of doing things on my own, however in this case, given my limited time in Ireland and the cost of having to rent a car and getting out to these locations it made a bit more sense to go with a...
