    • You on your way, I think you will be there to meet many of the guys on Dec 5th 🧐
    • You got the Irish curse? I just posted on my social media the other day that my tombstone will read " it was the eggs benedict"  
    • I know we all have different experiences. Having flown millions of miles, including plane changes with SIA at Changi, I suggest you will have absolutely no problem with your shortish connection, the more so as you have a through ticket on SIA and are in business class. As @pong2 noted, there will be someone from SIA at the gate either to show you the way or even to accompany you to the new departure terminal and gate. For such an early arrival, it is unlikely you will arrive late due to stacking or anything like that. And if the aircraft is delayed on departure, the pilots have enough time to make some or all of it up en route.  I have changed planes at Hong Kong many times when the minimum connecting time for Cathay Pacific flights was just 40 minutes. Never missed a flight. But then Hong Kong only has one terminal. Even so, SIA is such an efficient airline and Changi such an efficient airport I would just accept their 75 minute connecting time and enjoy your flights. They will look after you. Your baggage will be automatically transferred. You will still have a hand luggage security check when entering the new gate but it will be very fast. Incidentally the scheduled flight time is 16 hours 36 minutes. Why bother waiting another 4 hours when you will clearly be very tired and 4 hours can seem an awfully long time. If you had tickets on different airlines or a through ticket on a lesser airline, I would have a  different view. But with SIA I'm sure you'll be fine. I have Flight Radar on my iPad and have noted that 6 arrival times in recent days were 5:25, 5:27, 5:20, 5:23, 5:04 and 6:14. You will not need a visa on your return if you decide to stop in Singapore. Frankly, I'd be more worried about your connecting flight from Denver to SFO. It's decades since i flew out of Singapore. If it's anything like LAX you will need plenty of time for Immigration and security checks at evening time.
    • I've seen some news reports in The Straits Times of people going into Singapore from Thailand with cannabis in their luggage and they all pretty much said the same dumb thing "oh sorry I forgot I had it but I bought it legally in Thailand", I guess that's the defence by ignorance attempt. Of course the Singapore authorities couldn't care less if it was purchased elsewhere legally or not and that excuse just didn't work. Maybe they should have taken a few minutes to double check their luggage before leaving Thailand. 
    • I know we get these lists from time to time from a variety of different sources. This time it's the turn of the monthly magazine and website International Living. It's top ten are - Greece - Panama - Costa Rica - Portugal - Mexico - Italy - France - Spain - Thailand - Malaysia There are several reasons why I find this list somewhat strange. Greece is basically burning every summer. Not everywhere of course, but many of the islands now have major fires annually. On the mainland in recent years, fires have come very close to Athens. In Portugal many native Portuguese are mightily pissed off with retirees. The Golden Visa for those investing around $250,000 have now been withdrawn but you can still get a visa if you bring in something like $1,100 per month. But then try to find accommodation. Many retirees buy their accommodation and the country now faces very high prices in the many towns and cities, especially Lisbon and Porto. On top of that the amount of accommodation available for rent has fallen drastically. There are still benefits like access to free healthcare after five years. Given the feelings within the country, I would not bank on these continuing for much longer because the Portuguese are really angry. As we know, Thailand has become much more expensive over the years. Add to this the threat of all retirees having to pay tax - I say threat because we have heard nothing more this year on the taxes that we were told would be introduced at the start of this year. Maybe it will not happen, we just at this stage do not know. But we do know that in future the country wants more wealthy retirees. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/01/travel/worlds-best-retirement-destinations-2026
