Lakeside Chalet
This is a “good morning” view right from the room where we are living in Mumbai. The apartment is a Lakeside Chalet offering very quiet, peaceful and so relaxing view of a lake and the city, the very nice pool and tennis court, and the greenery. In the morning the India sun will peek at the glass windows, so perfect and at night, the glow of the Bombay city offers peace despite the turmoils in the busy streets. A very nice place to be. I am glad that hubby and relief will be ocupying this chalet for as long as he will be working in this place so that he will feel at home, just like what I am feeling right now. This Marriott apartment has also in-room internet access and hubby got us pc here so I could not ask for anything else. I love this place!
My seatmate
I was so glad I made it to my flight, I did not miss it. So I leaned on the seat and relax for a while from the excitement of the minutes before. Oh God, I was sitting next to a man who has a very powerful underarm that can create headaches! A very bad underarm odor, and in few minutes, I found out it was just not the problem, he has a bad breath, bad breath in the sense that every breath he took, grrrr. Well, I was not judging but I couldn’t help to be disturbed so. Have you sat next to one with strong body odor? I easily get headaches and that time I would have migraine. In the entire flight I kept leaning sideways to avoid the breath and the “bomb” under the arm, anyway, I wanted to rest so I just tried to keep my face away and tried to sleep as much as possible. So learn how to treat bad body odor.
Getting married in India
I kept looking at my watch while in the plane. (Singapore and Philippines are in the same time zone, ie, they have the same time, no time difference). No use huh to keep looking, I couldn’t make the plane fly faster than 940 km/hr? But I was estimating the time for me to move to make it to the next flight.
The plane lands in Singapore Changi airport at 7:40 pm, plus still some minutes to enter the main building. I was one of the first ones to go out and I hurried out but just in the gate I saw my name in the placard being called for by the ground staffs. “Excuse me, that’s me.” To my utmost relief, a buggy car was waiting for me and someone was taking me to the farthest gate boarding Mumbai passengers. I was very glad. I was very thankful of the Silkair flight of their taking care of my travel adjustments. With the buggy car ride, I saved an overnight’s worth of time. We reached gate 60 just when they were starting to board passengers. And my baggage? I just had one and in Davao they were placing it in the best place also so they could pull it out easily in Singapore. The buggy car driver was helpful enough and he called other ground agents to see to it my baggage can make it in the plane. He told her in the other line that I was going to India to get married so my bag must make it. Unique huh? Well, I was going to Mumbai to be with the man I married, almost the same reason, but not quiet, but I just listened. He was just making initiative to help me. I was so glad. But it was not sure if my bag indeed made it so I will just report it if I don’t see in in Mumbai airport. “See you in India, bag,” trip there.
I called hubby telling him I made it, and he was so glad. Imagine if I could not make it? We have been away, well, just for six weeks only, hhmm. Just few minutes after I was inside the air craft it was taking off and in four and a half hours, I will be in India. Thank God.
Silkair was delayed
I was comfortable when I bought my etickets because I had plenty of time, an hour and half to board for the connecting flight to Mumbai. But my first flight bound Singapore yesterday was delayed for an hour so, and that leaves me thread chance if I could make it, so tight squeeze there. So I told the agents on the check-in counter about that, and gladly, they took care of it, anyway, it’s not my fault to have missed the next flight. They placed me in the best seat and treat me like a VIP traveller, haha, I didn’t think it mattered if they let me board last as long as I go out first, but they let me in first. I felt spoiled. Darn, those people are very caring of their costumers! I did not regret Silkair was delayed. They promised that someone’s gonna take care of me in Singapore and if I would miss my flight, oh God please no, they would arrange for hotel for me to stay the night in, as they do with others. For me Singapore Changi is very big airport and if I will just walk and run, still.. Okay so I entrusted it to them. Imagine how worried we were, especially hubby, for me to extend another day? Oh well. Part of a travel experience I would not mind having, anyway, it was secured and safe.
Off to India
So I’m gonna fly today to India to spend the holidays with hubby. I will be there for almost a month, and glad that I will still see my family after that. I still go back to the Philippines after the India trip for final departure to the USA. I am so excited for the trip though. We have been away for more than a month and half now. If I would not have this Indian vacation for a month, I will be away for three months and hubby said he’s not gonna let me leave that long, so long. But be together in few hours. Keep posted for my stay in India. Bon voyage for me.
Travel agents in Davao
Before buying tickets from travel agency, of course it is just wise to canvass from different offices so we find way where to save some for the difference might be considerable. Hubby sent me a link of travel agencies in Davao which I called to see which is cheapest. The one I bought etickets from is not the cheapest, it has a bit difference with the next one but the costumer service was ideal, as opposed to the one I first decided to buy them from. The travel agency is
