January 4 – Flying to Perth

A very early morning to catch a taxi to the airport for our flight to Perth, Australia.  Our second trip on Singapore Airlines.  They run a very nice operation.  It seemed like 10 or 20% of the passengers had ordered special meals.  But they, and the rest of us, were served very efficiently.  We were impressed. 

We had a transfer pick up from the airport and were in our hotel by late afternoon.  We are in a one-bedroom apartment with kitchen (which we won’t use) and laundry facilities (which we will).

We had dinner in the little bar/bistro next door.  Afterword’s, we dealt with putting together some backup travel plans as some of the locations we are booked to visit are being badly affected by the horrendous fires that are raging all around Australia.
