Not sure where to start..... Holiday Post 1: Singapore Part 1

Well, TraderVic and I are back after an amazing holiday.  We had such a good time that I am not sure where to start!

We have been back just over a week and I have had to hit the ground running at work, of course, so this is my first real opportunity to get back into blogging.

If you are a Facebook Friend you may have seen some of these photos and stories already, so I do apologise for doubling up.  I am going to do a couple of posts for each of the places we visited and then maybe a post devoted to some of the wonderful meals we had as we travelled around.

There may be a stitching update or two as well, as we go.  Please feel free to skip through anything which doesn't interest you.

First Leg - Singapore:

We started our month long holiday with a four day stint in Singapore.  TraderVic had a conference which was held at the amazing Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

... and our first evening there we had a light dinner at the rooftop bar and watched the sun go down over Singapore.

Now, the rooftop of the hotel looks like a giant ship and has an amazing infinity pool as you can see from above.

Here is the view as a swimmer:

and me swimming dangerously near the edge.....

 ... and look who I met in the pool - James Morrison, Australia's premier Jazz trumpeter!

Now, just in case you are worried that people could really be swept over the edge, I took some photos of what it looks like.

You have to be pretty determined to fall off, really!

Oh dear, I have barely scratched the surface of my trip and I have a full post already!  Well, some more of Singapore next time.

Now onto some stitching, I saw this sweet design from CCN in my LNS and just had to start it.

It is called "Liberty Lane" and here are my progress pics.

Here is my Friday Night with Friend's progress.

 The last one is after just six days progress - I am really pleased with how fast this is going.

Lastly, here is my stitching buddy - boy, was he happy to see me after a month!

hugs,
