Cabin fever!

First and foremost o would like to apologize for the disturbing lack of new photos on the blog. We have an amazing camera, but it is so nice and so large that we rarely take pictures of the more mundane particulars of our travels. Right now i am sitting on a bed in the heart of Singapore. After a grueling 14 hour flight from San Fransisco to Hong Kong the 3 1/2 hour flight on to Singapore seemed like a cake walk. I must be honest though- being almost 14 hours ahead time wise has lead to both Rachel and i feeling brutalized, jet lag is an understatement. It is now 1:30 in the morning on Friday the 16. Back home it is 10:30 in the morning on Thursday the 15. ugh. All in all the flights were pleasant and for the most part went off without a hitch. We arrived in Singapore to find a plethora of Rachel's family waiting for us. They all seem like great people and have been more than hospitable. I am now ready to pass out, as is Rachel. Ergo, Fairwell, more to follow. Love Derek and Rachel
