Happy New Year from Singapore where spending New Year's before starting cruise to Hong Kong and on to Australia.
Wife had interesting seatmate on flight from San Francisco. He was on way to Bali, said he had ceremonial stones in suitcase and expected to use them to meditate over when he got there and joined group of like minded people.
Takes all kinds.
