Rule #1 of flying: Try not to do it in school holidays.
Of course, rule #1 of flying should probably be to choose your flying school carefully, but I hope it won't come to that.
There I was, at the travel agent, thinking I was booking ages in advance, only to find that I've picked the first week of school holidays to fly and there are only two airlines with seats left. At least, only two airlines that land in places you want to visit.
Fortunately, Singapore airlines had one seat left, and it has the advantage that I get to ride in one of the big suckers - hope they have all the bugs sorted out.
Now, I'm usually someone who sleeps well on aircraft. I've been known to get 45 minutes of sleep between Adelaide and Melbourne, a flight of 55 minutes duration. I like my sleep, and I hope it'll go some way to getting over jet lag. So imagine my dismay when I find I'm going to be sharing the plane with about 400 children...
You will be kept posted on just how this turns out - and how many children get surreptitiously thrown out of the aeroplane.
I also need to figure out how to kill six hours in Singapore airport - again, with 400 kids rabbiting around the place. Suggestions welcome.

Singapore Airport is absolutely enormous; i don't think you'll really notice the kids running around. Anyway, the guards with machine guns stationed at the doors and on patrol throughout the airport help to keep the rabble down...
With 6 hours to kill you could probably leave the airport and wander around the city. Alternatively, you could catch a movie at the airport cinema, check out the duty-free shopping (there's LOTS of single-malt and XO congnac to choose from) or relax in one of the many bars.
btw, i love your coil winder :-)
