The further I got into my vacation, the hotter it got. I went from wearing a thick winter coat in Japan, down to a fall jacket in Hong Kong. Finally when I hit Singapore, I had to pull out my t-shirts to fight off the heat! We woke up at 4:45 am to catch a flight to Singapore and made it to Changi before 11:00 am.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. I’ll admit I ate way too much over Christmas. I’ve turned into such a glutton! I guess it’s time to start that new fitness regimen. +++ I’m a little behind in vacation posts, so I’ll get right into the next one. The day after the Arashi concert we had another early start in Harajuku at the Toni & Guy salon. I had asked Yuka to book our appointments before…
