We have returned!

Fresh off the plane with the whole family, having arrived safe and sound.  According to one of the flight attendants, United's SFO to SIN route (flight UA 1) is the longest one the airline flies.  15 hours in one go.

We are currently breakfasting at our luxurious managed apartment where we're staying until some of our possessions arrive.  We almost had a "Hey look, that guy's got the same last name as we do.  Taxi!" moment but Elizabeth was thinking quickest after the travel ordeal so we didn't miss out on our complementary shuttle.  As it was, in our haze we forgot one of our 6 checked bags and someone will have to mount an expedition back to Changi Airport to grab the bulk of Maxwell's clothes.  All in all, fewer hiccups than I was expecting, honestly.

The important thing is that we have arrived, safe and in good spirits.  Here's the sunrise view from the balcony of our interim lodging.
