Australia 2025 Trip Report: Day 3
July 19, 2025: Singapore (Author: J) On our last trip to Singapore, we were fairly successful at defeating jet lag within the first few days of our trip. So, we revived our jet lag playbook on this trip. On our first evening, we stocked our room with some snack cakes from 7-11 in case anyoneContinue reading “Australia 2025 Trip Report: Day 3”

July 16-18, 2025: Travel to and Arrival in Singapore (Author: J) The pre-trip logistics for this trip were somewhat more complicated than usual. In addition to our flights on Singapore Airlines, we had two flights on budget airlines.

Australia 2025 Trip Report
July 17-August 6, 2025 Earlier this month, we returned from a 20-night trip to Australia via Singapore. As in my previous trip reports, “we” is me, a 40-something professor; my husband, D, a 40-something teacher/pet sitter; and P, our 12-year-old son. It tends to take me a while to finish these trip reports, so IContinue reading “Australia 2025 Trip Report”

May 20, 2022 – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Author: J) After 4 long months, it is time to wrap up this trip report with our final day in Kuala Lumpur and our flight home, including a stopover at Jewel Changi.

Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 13
May 19, 2022 – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Author: J) If you are considering visiting Kuala Lumpur (and I hope you are), rest assured that it has lots more to offer than what my family was able to experience.

Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report -Day 12
May 18, 2022: Sabah & Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Author: J) Our final day in Borneo was the only one without an early wakeup time. Much to P’s disappointment, we did not request a final river safari, knowing that we were in for a late night. Instead, we slept until a reasonable hour – the sunContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report -Day 12”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 11
May 17, 2022: Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Author: J) As I mentioned – due to attraction closures — our day 11 itinerary was fairly similar to our day 10 itinerary. That meant an early wakeup for another wildlife watching cruise. Most of the travelers in our boat were interested in looking for monkeys thisContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 11”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 10
May 16, 2022: Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Author: J) We spent 3 nights at Sukau Rainforest Lodge. When we initially booked our trip, the itineraries for days two and three at the lodge (the two full days) were quite different from one another. Day two was to include river cruises to spot wildlife, whileContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 10”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 9
May 15, 2022: Sandakan, Sepilok, and Kinabatangan River in Sabah, Malaysia (Author: J) Finally, the morning we had been waiting for: our chance to see the famous dancing orangutans of Borneo. Just kidding. We were actually in Borneo to see proboscis monkeys, the primates that P had asked to see many moons ago as anContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 9”
