D-Day: The big move (Part 2)

October 9, 2014 by Gigi

We are on the plane to Singapore. We have a routine now, we’ve done the London-Singapore leg a few times as we almost always fly via Singapore when we visit the Hubs’ family in Malaysia. I’m grateful that we are (again) on the company’s dime and we get to fly the comfy seats as 12 […]
