November 26th, 2024 Singapore

7:15AM We arrived in Singapore and initially attempted to access the SATS Lounge but were turned away. Instead, we spent the next two hours relaxing at the Ambassador Lounge. 

10AM Victor came to pick us up. We had fish soup and laksa, then took a half-hour walk together. Victor dropped us off at the Botanic Gardens. We spent about two hours exploring before we took the train to Gardens by the Bay.








11:30 AM Victor dropped us off at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, where we spent two peaceful hours exploring the lush greenery and vibrant flora. We got completely soaked.

2PM We took the train to Gardens by the Bay to continue our adventure.

3PM Our first stop was the Flower Dome, where we marveled at the diverse array of blooms and beautifully landscaped displays. Ali loved it.


4PM Next, we toured the Cloud Forest, an enchanting experience filled with misty walkways, towering waterfalls, and stunning plant life. 

6:30 PM We strolled through Garden City before heading to Marina Bay Sands. Although access was being charged, I managed to sneak in and scout the area to ensure the path was clear before bringing Ali up to the top floor. Unfortunately, she didn’t enjoy the experience as much as I had hoped, so we decided to head back down after just a few minutes.

8:30 PM Our final stop in Singapore was the Jewel at Changi Airport, where we admired the stunning architecture and attractions. 

9PM We checked in for our flight and spent half an hour at the SATS Lounge, relaxing before boarding. 

10:20 PM Our 15-hour flight back to San Francisco departed, marking the end of our trip. 

9:45 PM We landed at SFO, but the Global Entry Office had already stopped interviews for the day at 8:30 PM. Ali arranged for a Lyft to her place, and from there, we drove home, concluding an unforgettable journey.
