Flights that is. This morning we said goodbye to Thailand and flew to Singapore, where we spent 6 hours walking all over the city (don't worry I took lots of pictures). Now we wait and fly out tomorrow morning to Hong Kong, where we will have a 3 hour layover before proceeding to Chicago (another 90 minute layover there) and then finally to North Carolina.
Right now Matt is snoozing in the "Premier Lounge" in the Singapore Airport while I listen to some little kid and family make lots of unnecessary noise ( I mean seriously people it is 1 am. Control your flipping kid). I would be snacking on the free "salad bar" but somehow seafood flavored noodles or seaweed and mushroom soup doesn't really sound all that appetizing. Rather I will just munch on some peanuts and drink hot tea. Maybe I will pop in the yoga dvd sitting at the media center and watch and learn through osmosis.
I can't believe it is time to go home already. I seems like it was just yesterday that I was sitting in this same airport like a kid on the first day of school, excited yet nervous about what lied ahead. I miss my kids immensely and I am sure my mom is ready for us to come back. But I have to admit, I would love just a few more days to spend in this amazing area of the world.

Where in the World Will Alexis Be?
One perk to all the traveling Matt does for work is the airline miles. So we decided to take advantage and last night we booked a trip for our big 10th anniversary in April.
So where are we going you ask?
Disney? Nope!
The Grand Canyon? Nope!
How about Paris or even Europe? While we originally planned on a trip across Spain, Italy and France, the lukewarm weather made us rethink that idea.
Tired of guessing yet? I'll give you a hint. I am looking forward to beaches, riding on an elephant (yes you read that right an elephant!!) and eating lots of rice.
We are going to Southeast Asia!
We leave April 4 and fly into Singapore and come back on April 13. We are thinking of spending a day or two in Singapore then most likely heading to Phuket, Thailand. Of course who knows where we will end up or how many stops we will make along the way once I start really researching and planning (which of course I am sure will start today!) There are so many possibilities with the cheap flights between SE Asia countries and even Australia, trains and buses.
Anyone been to this part of the world before? Matt has gone for work, but somehow I don't think going through the jungle and peeing in a hole in the ground is on my list of "to-dos" this trip so his experience won't be much help. I'd love some travel suggestions. In the meantime, Frommers here I come!
