Highlights: Embassy run, then airport

I finished some business at the embassy before rushing back to get myself to Bloc M & catch the airport shuttle in time for my flight. I’m taking no chances with Jakarta traffic today. I left the house almost 4 hours early.

My flight left at 9:45pm, & we got to Singapore by midnight (factoring in my first time zone shift).

Changi airport, I have to say once again, is just the greatest ever. It’s the one airport I really don’t mind hanging around in for 7 hours. Free internet computers all over, massage tables, comfortable chairs & sofa TV lounges, cafes & restaurants still open at midnight for us overnight travelers,,, and the couchettes! Oh! Bless whoever came up with the idea of putting sleeping & shower lounges in the airport! NorthWest gave me a 6 hour pass to the Rainforest Lounge, where I found feng shui approved little private rooms with beds! I stretched out for 3 hours on a mattress & sheets more soft & comfortable than what I’m working with in Jakarta & just fell into heaven over the span of 40 winks.
