Long journey back

Singapore...7pm Thursday night, London 6am Friday morning, Toronto 6pm Friday night. Added all up with the time changes and you are looking at 40 hours of travel.

Started off good in Singapore, awesome airport. Lots of relaxing areas (i know, weird for an airport), free wi-fi, sleeping areas and foot massages.

On to the plane and still not bad. Qantas airlines new A380, Easily the most comfortable plane we have ever been on. Even in economy there is tonnes of room. Serve yourself snack and drink bar, nice big screen in the back of each seat for movies. Service was ok, food not so great, but the comfy plane made up for it.

Arrival at Heathrow, terminal 5 and things go downhill. This was easily the worst airport terminal we have been in the entire trip. So poorly designed, so busy and backed up, 3 bucks for 5 minutes of internet. It was awful. The worst is that it is brand new...definately a lesson in how not to build an airport terminal.

Getting on the BA flight and things sort of even out. We had two seats to ourselves, so that was good. Seats were fairly comfy, but more crowded than Qantas. Service was better and food was better, but the entertainment in the seats was bad. Just a couple movies on play that you couldnt pause or anything and a tiny tiny screen. Still, better than having nothing I guess.

Arrive in Toronto. Customs was a snap we get our bags and head out to see our folks. Home by 7:30-8. A long long trip back and here we are back in Canada. What comes next...well we will see. For now, we will be getting into our new apt that already has our stuff moved in thanks to our parents...THANKS! Then we will see.

Like we said earlier, keep following the blog because we are going to have some major wrap ups that you are not going to miss!
