Raffles Hotel – final thoughts

schneebergerr

Our time in Singapore is rapidly coming to an end. While I won’t miss the humidity, I will miss the cleanliness,orderliness, and as my traveling companion Matt Knowles noted “2 days without sirens”. We never heard a police car or ambulance in a city of 5.3 million, that is an accomplishment. 

We are now saying good bye to the Raffles with a tear in our eyes. To quote James A. Michener “to have been young and had a room at the Raffles was life at its best.”

Stand by for my next post from Wastern Australia. 


Rooftop bar at the Fullerton Bay hotel right on the Marina. What a sight and atmosphere!

As a World traveler and trains, planes, & automobile geek, I have embraced every opportunity to explore this amazing planet. As I write this, I realized vividly how far I have come from growing up in a dysfunctional family in a small Swiss town to living in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband Greg and our pets Stella and Oscar. I am very fortunate to live the American Dream, having made a career our of my passion for travel and tourism.
