First stop: mailing our postcards. We hadn\u2019t found the time to send them all in New Zealand, so we had a bunch of built up cards to mail. Luckily, the post office employees knew exactly what we needed, and it only took a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got onto the trams (but forgot to \u201ctap on\u201d, like hooligans) and then the airport train, and got to the airport 2 hours before the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah had a minute to swing by the lounge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Security and everything was no problem, so we ended up at our gate with time to spare. We separated to grab food, and met back up at our gate. Sarah got an almond croissant and coffee, and Eric got a meat pie (that wasn\u2019t good), a bacon cheese toastie (which was tasty), and an egg spinach burrito that he shared with Sarah. Our gate was near the centurion lounge, so Eric popped in and grabbed some pastries since we weren\u2019t sure what food would look like on this flight (and sadly, this was one of our non-business class flights). We also didn\u2019t realize how long the flight would be (8.5 hours) until the night before, since we didn\u2019t realize there was a big time jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got pretty lucky because nobody was sitting next to us, so we sort of had \u201clie flat\u201d seats. Eric wrote some blog posts for the first bit while Sarah watched \u201cSpeed\u201d (her new favorite movie). Then, we both watched \u201cElemental,\u201d which was solid (Sarah only cried a little). Lastly, we both got hyped watching \u201cBill and Ted\u2019s Excellent Adventure\u201d, the only movie in history to be set in Sarah\u2019s hometown of San Dimas, California. Party on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food on the flight was decent: we both got the butter chicken with wine, and it hit the spot. They also had ice cream for dessert, which was most excellent (and fairly rare for a plane). Lastly, we got a little chicken roti hot-pocket type thing as a snack towards the end of the flight, which was also pretty decent. Overall, not bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived around 5:00 PM we decided to tour the Singapore airport, which we heard was interesting. First, we stopped by the butterfly gardens, which are behind security. Eric learned that Sarah was a huge butterfly fan, and we both enjoyed seeing the hundreds of beautiful, varied butterflies eat, fly, and hatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
