A Long Trip (Part I - to Singapore then Bali, Indonesia then back to Singapore, Jan.31 - Feb.9, 2025)

This is not a photography journey but I hope to take some photos that may qualify as photography shots. We may call it "a trip around the world" because we took advantage of the Star Alliance "around the world" program, and used our mileage to get business class seats

So many things have happened/changed in our personal life in these few years. We lost our beloved old dog Djuna; we sold our house and are waiting to moved into our new townhouse in a 55+ community; our other beloved dog Iubi had splenectom
