In October I was lucky enough to set out on a truly great adventure!! I won a great prize when in the audience of the Martha Stewart Show and my travel buddy, Eileen, and I set out for a 13 day excursion. We started at JFK, where Eileen got us invited into the VIP lounge of Singapore Air. That was pretty nice - we toasted the start of our trip with wine and nibbles in a plush, chic setting, looking out to majestic airbirds coming and going. Our first leg took us to Frankfurt. As we strolled the city on the way to dinner, we happened upon the Opera Hall ...
The next day we took the train and had a guided tour of Heidleberg - the city and the castle ..
The Captain of our solar boat ride posed for pictures ...
Couldnt go to Germany without a sample of food and drink ...
and ... of course, dessert!!!
Two days in Germany -- 12 hr flight -- and here we are in Singapore!! At Raffles Hotel everyone gets Singapore Slings upon arrival!! Nice ...
We were treated to many wonderful meals, sightseeing, massages, and high tea -- but a definite highlight was dinner at The Wild Rocket - where Chef Willin Low made a 6 course dinner just for us!!!
While shopping on Arab Street we met Moe, a fashion designer searching for fabrics for his next collection!!
As we said goodbye to our grand aventure the doorman from Raffles wishes us safe travels.
But ... we're not headed home just yet. We are on our way to Bali ... a relaxing retreat at the Four Seasons in the jungle ...
A few days in the calm, spiritual surroundings of Bali and we were ready to brave that long 24 hr flight home -- did we really travel 3/4 around the world? or was it a dream? It was really a dream come true!!
