Two reasons I hate flying in Asia during the summer:
1. Thunderstorms
2. Tourists

Travel
At least there is protein
Steak and salmon: good.
Couscous and matzah: okay
Veggies: doable
Needless to say, the cake went undisturbed. I feel bad about wasting. I would feel much worse with it on my waist.
Good Morning, Singapore
Starting the week with a nice view and a cold brew coffee. Now if only someone would open the door…
Home on the Range
My favorite tent ever. Retro look, seven feet long, easy up, easy down, weighs two pounds, fits into a bag the size of a 32-ounce Nalgene bottle, and set me back a whopping $52 delivered.
I should buy two.
DFW FTW
First flight on a brand new Airbus A321 NEO. Still has that New Plane Smell.
Train Dinner
First meal on Amtrak, brought to the room by Dan, the car attendant. With the exception of the sauce, I wolfed it, no pun intended. Train travel is hungry work, especially when you go REAL SLOW through these picturesque downtown areas of Central California coast and farm towns, and you see all of the cool eateries.
Note to self: always bring plenty of (healthy, protein-laden) foods on the train to supplement the meals. I did okay this time, but it never hurts, even on a trip as short as four hours.
Southern Pacific Caboose
Superseded by advances in technology railroad management, the noble caboose no longer rides the rails in the United States. Southern Pacific 1886, shown here, has not only been saved from the scrappers by the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum, they have completely restored her inside and out to a like-new condition.
Riding past this, I added the museum onto my bucket list.
