Little Black Guidebook

I wrote about planning our 5th wedding anniversary trip recently in my post “Daydreaming of Europe,” well there has been a change of plans. I have been invited to a conference in Singapore the 16-20th of July. So rather than being apart, I’m bringing him with me instead. We’ll be crossing the Pacific instead of the Atlantic this summer. I’m going to miss going to Amsterdam, but I’m excited because this will be our first trip to Asia together. Singapore itself isn’t really going to fill a week of our time so we’ll have a long layover in Hong Kong first. I am just now starting the planning for the trip. I have two fresh Moleskine books which I will distill all of the guidebook and internet info into. I like to make my own guidebooks. They are smaller to pack and more relevent than carrying a huge guidebook. I have now spent over 15 hours looking up things to do and experience. I have a feeling that unlike Paris or London, which really do have a Top 10 list of must sees, we’ll be spending a lot of time wandering around.
