As natives of a small island, we can tell you Singapore can get claustrophobic at times. Call it "Island Fever" or whatever, but sometimes you just have to get away for a while. At those times, even a short business trip is a relief. Fortunately, Singapore's proximity to prime vacation spots have afforded us opportunities we wouldn't have dreamed of living in California. And business travel has taken me to other locations such as China which I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. So enjoy our travels vicariously through words and photos.
