Hello, welcome to my Travel Blog.

I won’t be doing these every single day but I just felt the need to write today ❤

Live experience begins:

22nd October

Hello again! Its 4:23 local Singapore time and I should arrive at Singapore by 4:53 so I’m almost there! I barely got to sleep so feeling a bit strange ha, but I am hoping to go to sleep probably on my next flight. I am worried about catching my next flight though, I only have an hour, less than a hour to go to my next flight.  Originally it was two hours but it seems this flight was quite late! 

I wanted time to have a look around Singapore airport, but I guess I won’t have anytime! If I can take a photo of the waterfall I heard about in the airport I will do that! It looked so pretty in pictures I’ve seen! 

18:34 

This flight feels a bit more chaotic! It took ages to get to my seat, a kids crying and wouldn’t get out of a couples ways who seemed to be arguing and then it took ages for them to find a place for them to put their suitcase 😅 A host was also chewing gum which also doesn’t look very professional. I was planning to sleep on this flight to try and match my time zone with NZ but not sure if I’ll get to sleep now 😅 hopefully things will get better as we fly! 

20:45 So the chaos continues, babies crying and the gluten free meal I asked for didn’t go through, though I’m not upset about that since I do still eat gluten now and again but I was a bit miffed that the guy with the drinks just walked right past me while asking everyone else and even the couple next to me was like oh dear 😅 All I wanted was some water, now I just need to find someone to help me! 

Live experience ended

Afterthoughts: So despite how long it was, my first flight was better then my second flight. My first flight was longer though and after I had finished watching some films I had wanted to watch, I was really unsure what to do with my spare time. It was just very dull. It was also just so strange to me that I was essentially staying a full day on planes, over 20 hours to be exact. It dragged so much, usefully my days go by quite fast but this definitely did not.

My second flight where I hoped to get some sleep, I unfortunately had picked a seat next to a family with a baby and a toddler, when the baby stopped screaming, the toddler started to cry and scream instead, which was not fun at all. I did still thankfully managed to get some sleep.

I was a tiny bit annoyed that the next flight couldn’t accommodate my gluten free food when I had put it down on their system while booking but apparently food preferences sometimes don’t carry over if you’re using a different airline from the one you started with, since I had two different airlines for my two different flights, they should really sort that out, but again since I only get a small stomach ache that does not last that long, I was fine with having gluten. I also knew I would likely be eating gluten food in New Zealand since I wasn’t going to miss out on eating food from another country.

I am very excited to talk about the next day, are you ready to step into New Zealand?
