It was a Sunday on December 4th when our long-awaited family vacation was to begin. Both Ethan and Hannah had been eagerly looking forward to this day for weeks, and I had told them that they would need to get up extra extra early that morning, for our cab would arrive to pick us up to the airport at 8a.m.
Well, miracles DO happen when the kids excitedly got ready and did not dilly-dally. We got to the airport well on time and even had time to grab a quick breakfast at McDonald’s in the departure terminal first.
It was another short wait for our plane to arrive, but you know…the kids got restless and kept asking, “Why is our airplane not here yet?”, “When are we boarding?”, and the like.
We’d redeemed airplane tickets using our Krisflyer points (finally), and it was an exciting occasion for the kids because I felt this was the time they would both remember they were in an airplane together. The last time Hannah boarded a plane, she was only 4 months’ old, and could only lie down in a crib!
The kids occupied themselves with complimentary doodle pads from SilkAir and drank some milk and juice that was served, and before we knew it, we had already landed in Singapore.
