We started this trip with our longest flight ever, San Francisco to Singapore, at 17 1/2 hour flight. We arrived at 8 AM in Singapore. We had requested wheel chair service, which was fortunate. Our aide wheeled Mary all the way to the Crowne Plaza at the airport and when the desk saw her in a wheelchair, they found a room for us right away! We now have an understanding why the Singapore airport is rated #1 in the world.
Since we have been to Singapore before, we only came in one night early, in case of flight delays. Based on our previous visit, we would highly recommend the botanical gardens and the night zoo. We decided to stay close and just visit the Jewell, a shopping center with a waterfall down its center, hiking trails among lush vegetation on the side and interesting activities in canopy park. The shopping center has a huge range of restaurants. The hiking trails are up and down the 5 story structure zig-zagging through the trees, flowers, and bushes that line the sides. But the highlight is the waterfall that comes down from the ceiling and loses itself in the floor of the building. The canopy park has a number of attractions like a topiary walk and sky nets for walking or bouncing. I really enjoyed the mirror maze - it's an adventure to find your way out. You're given a plastic bat to determine what is a mirror and what is a passage, otherwise you'd be continually crashing into mirrors.
