Two Nights in Singapore at the Grand Hyatt Singapore

BySean

We arrived in Singapore from Hong Kong on a Cathay Pacific flight at around 8pm.  We easily made our way through immigration and Singapore’s beautiful Changi International Airport, out to the curb to hail a cab for our hotel.  We booked a room at the Grand Hyatt Singapore for this short stay. The cab ride couldn’t…

A Layover in Hong Kong and a Quick Flight to Singapore

BySean

After spending over 18 hours on American Airlines’ longest flight from Dallas / Ft. Worth to Hong Kong, I was quite ready to stretch my legs and move around.  We got to Hong Kong immigration after about five minutes and had about a ten minute wait to clear immigration. Outside of immigration, we went by…

A Twenty-Two Hour Layover in Tokyo and the Hyatt Regency Tokyo

BySean

For my return flights home to Washington, DC, I intentionally booked a twenty-two hour layover in Tokyo between my inbound flight on Air China from Shanghai and my final leg in ANA First Class to Washington-Dulles.  Why, you ask? Because I freakin’ love Tokyo.  And my buddy had never been. That, my friends is an opportunity…

Weekly Roundup – 12/12/2014

BySean

First of all, my apologies — I’ve been M.I.A. for the last couple weeks.  Frankly, life has gotten into the way, as I’ve been busy with work, finding a new place for when my lease expires next month, and of course spending time with my family over Thanksgiving.  Once everything settles down, I will start…

Review: Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui

BySean

When planning where we would stay for our weekend in Hong Kong, I narrowed it down between the two main Hyatt properties in Hong Kong:  the Grand Hyatt and the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui.  I wrote off the Hyatt Regency Sha Tin due to its location relatively far from Central and Kowloon….

Review: Park Hyatt Shanghai

BySean

First of all, I’ve made no secret of my love for Park Hyatt properties.  I feel that they are some of the nicest and well-done properties in the world, and are certainly amongst the best hotels in which I’ve stayed.  Before my trip to Shanghai, I’d previously stayed at Park Hyatts in Tokyo, Dubai, Melbourne…

Six Initial Thoughts on My Trip Around the World

BySean

After two weeks and just under 22,000 miles of travel around the world, I’m finally getting acclimated to the real world after arriving back in Washington from Tokyo last week. I’d initially planned to publish trip reports as I went on this trip, but after a pretty intense first few days of Oktoberfest in Munich, that whole…

An Around the World Trip — Introduction

BySean

As I previously wrote, I will be embarking on a two-week journey around the World starting tonight.  While I’m meeting twelve other friends in Munich, two of them will be joining me for our exploits in Asia. Though we all have somewhat different flights, we all did manage to get on the same THAI flight…

Vegas Baby! For BAcon!

BySean

I’m writing this post from about 35,000 feet on a US Airways flight somewhere in between Washington’s Reagan National Airport and Phoenix en route to Las Vegas!  I’m heading out to the desert with my girlfriend in tow for this weekend’s Boarding Area blogger Conference… better known as BAcon!    The primary reason for the…
