Upcoming Trip: DBster
31 August 2007 by Two Crazy DogsNow that I have tickets for my 1st segment of the trip, DB is itching to get his, too. He spoke to his boss and he has the green light from the Mr. Dictator. Mr. Dictator was nice enough to give him 2 weeks.
DB wants to leave with me on November 16 because the following week is Thanksgiving week and travelling on Thanksgiving week is a no-no. His stay in Ipoh will be shorten by a week at least. He wants to save up some of vacation for the rest of the year (his company’s fiscal year start July-July). He was able to look for lfights from MSP/SIN but his return flight SIN/MSP is the only one that is killing him. He wants to leave SIN on December 2 but no non-stop direct flights. The same with December 1. There are non-stop flights on December 3 but he is not sure if he wants to leave on a Monday and return to work on a Tuesday. So “char poh” (troublesome).
He is already driving me nuts - picky with his choice of flights. All the flights with 2 - 3 stops he is complaining they are all stopping over in Detroit-let, and arriving in MSP in the evening…..the complains went on the whole night till I said, “you deal with it and I’m going to bed.” It was 10:30 p.m. and it way passed my bed time. When he came to bed at 10:45, he still has not bought his tickets yet. I don’t why it is so tough for him to decide what day he wants to leave Ipoh and if he is willing to sacrifice a day or not to sacrifice at all.
We were making conversation over dinner, he said we will be at each others neck before we reach Ipoh. Amen, brother, you got that right. He is already asking what to do during the time between we arrive in SIN and the flight to KUL. I told him we are not checking in into that transit hotel. Instead we will be going for a shower, make phone calls, eat, take pictures, and blog! He thought I will be checking in to the hotel so we can chill and relax for a few hours. I am not paying $100+ just to shower and sit on my butt!
I think I better stock up on Zoloft for this trip!

Actually that transit hotel isn’t that exp. It was only about $30/block (6hrs). Is kinda nice.
Not much thing to eat in the airport after midnight.
Hi LP, Hope all is well with you. Thanks for the info. Yes, I checked on the transit hotel and we will be reserving a room for the few hours. Hubby said that way he can shower in peace!
