Adventures in Singapore and a Packing Wakeup Call
We’ve been soaking up the sights, and the Wi-Fi has been persnickety, so Monday Musings had to wait. Today I’m sharing our personal Singapore travel diary, along with a few hard-earned lessons in dressing for humidity.
We arrived in Singapore on very little sleep and were thrilled to check into the Raffles Hotel. We’ve never been on a Tauck tour before, but this felt like a pretty fabulous promise of things to come.
Raffles Hotel Singapore opened its doors in 1887 and remains one of the few grand 19th-century hotels still operating worldwide. What began as a 10-room waterfront bungalow has grown into an expansive, multi-winged, 115-suite landmark, with the kind of proportions that make modern hotel rooms feel like storage closets with better lighting.
The hotel was named for Sir Stamford Raffles, the British colonial official credited with founding modern Singapore. He had nothing to do with the hotel itself, which opened decades later in 1887, but attaching his name to it gave the property an immediate connection to Singapore’s colonial history.
The building is a grand example of British colonial tropical architecture, with white arcades, deep verandas, high ceilings, courtyards, and shaded walkways designed for heat, humidity, and a slower pace of life before air conditioning took over. The hotel also has a tucked-away rooftop pool, which feels slightly unexpected in such a historic property, but very welcome after a day in Singapore’s heat.
The hotel’s most recent major restoration was completed in 2019, reportedly costing about $150 million, preserving the historic character while bringing the rooms and public spaces firmly into the present.
Each suite comes with a dedicated butler, introduced after check-in and available around the clock during your stay. The scale of the place is part of the experience, from the generous suites to the broad verandas, courtyards, and open spaces that give the hotel its unmistakable old-world presence.
We changed and headed out to tour the National Orchid Garden, which was stunning. I quickly discovered I hadn’t packed enough breezy dresses or skirts to handle the high temperatures and oppressive humidity. I also decided sleeveless tops were the only way to go, and was glad I’d packed a few. Here we are inside the Orchid Garden Cool House, where people were lingering for a long time before moving along, us included.
One of the most recognizable sights at Raffles is the liveried Sikh doorman at the entrance. Dressed in a crisp white military-style uniform and white turban, he’s part of the hotel’s long tradition and serves as something of an ambassador for the property. Ours was very funny, and happy to oblige when we asked for a photo.
On our second day, we took a long walking tour of some of Singapore’s historic sites, and my UPF 50 umbrella came out. I’m so glad I packed it because hats get unbearably hot after an hour or so.
After wandering around for what felt like an eternity, then hopped onto a bumboat cruise along the Singapore River. The river was once the busy commercial heart of Singapore, lined with warehouses, trading boats, and merchants. Today, it’s much more polished, with restaurants, restored quays, and gleaming towers along the banks.
I was mostly grateful to be sitting down by then, because a walking tour in Singapore’s heat is not for the casually hydrated.
That afternoon, we went to Spago at Marina Bay Sands, Wolfgang Puck’s first Spago location in Asia. Perched on the 57th floor of Tower 2, it overlooks the city from one of Singapore’s most recognizable buildings, the one that looks like a giant surfboard balanced across the top of three towers. The food was outstanding.
As we left, I got a view of the infinity pool on the roof, which I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t enjoy because I’m not a fan of heights.
After a long day traipsing around Singapore, I needed a fresh shower and clean clothes for dinner at a local Italian restaurant.
This loose, tent-like linen dress was just what I needed, and I wore it the next day.
Day two started with a trip to the Maxwell Food Market, which I assumed had more than food. Uh, no. Our friends ate there and thought it was great. I’m not a brave eater, so I stuck to fresh coconut water.
Next, wandered around more, then grabbed a cab to Parkview Square, often called Singapore’s Gotham Building. It’s a dramatic Art Deco-style office building made with all dark stone, bronze details, statues, and architectural drama. It was completed in 2002, but it looks as if Batman might have held a board meeting there in 1935.
Inside is Atlas Bar, which is just as dramatic, with soaring ceilings, gilded details, and a gin collection so extensive it feels less like a bar and more like a very glamorous library. I discovered a pink rose lemonade that I can source at home.
By this point, I was just a messy puddle, so we headed back to the hotel for another shower before dinner, because our flight was leaving way too early the next morning.
What I learned very quickly is that Singapore is not the place for optimistic packing. Heat and humidity make every fabric choice matter, and the pieces I reached for most were loose, light, sleeveless, and easy to wash or rewear. If you’re heading somewhere tropical, pack for the weather you’ll actually be walking in, not the version you imagined while standing in your closet at home.
I loved Singapore, but it definitely reminded me that travel style isn’t about looking perfect. It’s about staying comfortable enough to enjoy where you are.
I’m very late reading this post but I loved it so much. The pictures were beautiful and your comments were fun and insightful. Great advice about travelling for where you’re going, not what you’re imaging it to be like. So tremendously helpful.
I have a clear image of sailing into Singapore on a small cargo passenger ship when I was about five years old. Then it was covered in jungle with houses dotted here and there. We went to Raffles with some friends of my parents who lived there and I was so impressed by the Sikh at the door. I have been back since and would swear it was the same man!
The heat and humidity can be pretty overwhelming but regular stops in air conditioned cafes for cold drinks helped. Hope you enjoy Bali – also hot and humid.
What an amazing memory!!
What a wonderful trip. Thank you for taking us along.
Malaysia was the same/similar in October, and I really had packed appropriately. Brutal! My umbrella and portable fan were also indispensable. Your photos are gorgeous, and I have heard Tauck is fabulous! I am going to check out that lemonade.
Reading your travel journal of Singapore brought back wonderful memories of our trip there about 10 years ago. Beautiful city, so clean and easy to get around. Looking forward to reading about the next leg of your trip.
So interesting. Thank you for sharing.
I loved this post! I lived in Singapore for 4 1/2 years – it was a fabulous experience. And yes it is very hot all year long! Looks like you hit the key sights – I am just sorry you missed eating in the hawker stands (food market) – truly one of the best experiences! Next time!
What a lovely place to vacation. Your pictures were all amazing.
Living Australia, I have been to Singapore many times, and yes, you have to pack for comfort rather than fashion. If you can achieve both that is a win win. If you felt the humidity was bad in their dry season, don’t contemplate going in December/ January, it really is unbearable
Thanks for the tip!
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so much for the delightful tour of Singapore…beautiful photography and a treat for the eyes. Your tips on dressing comfortably for the location, and not how you look in the mirror at your home, are so true, especially in a humid environment. By the way, you still look fabulous in the heat and humidity.
Love your blogs.
Louise
Thank you Louise!
Lived near Singapore in Kuala Lumpur, so I’m well aware of the heat and humidity – thank God for air conditioning!! Sounds like you still managed to enjoy your vacation and loved your travelogue. Anxious to hear more!
Yes, the AC is a blessing!
Thanks for taking us along in your travels! So interesting and great advice!
Loved seeing your photos of Singapore; we were there in October about 13 years ago. Tauck is a wonderful company. We’ve done land tours, river cruises and are booked on a Windjammer cruise with Tauck next September.
They’re fabulous. Many of the people in our group have gone on 10, 15, 20 and over 30 Tauck tours. I didn’t know what I was missing.
I travel to Australia often and I’ve accumulated my tropical wardrobe. No fabrics are as light and breathable as those I I find in Australia. Not even in southern Florida! I pack them just for tropical vacations. The items were all purchased in Australia!
My favorite is a dress I call my hiking dress. I bought it at a food market the day before our hike. I actually jumped in a natural water pool in Daintree Rain Forest, dress and all. It dried quickly, even in the humidity.
That’s amazing Mudra! I now see a travel wardrobe to this area in a whole new light.
I think I DISCOVERED your blog (& Susan Blakely’s) back in 2019 while prepping for a trip to Europe, & have been a fan ever since! I will enjoy all the travel-related info you care to share!
As stated above: “Real-life fashion information while traveling is so helpful! Thank you for your insights into Singapore and how much of a role it played in your wardrobe while there.”
I am not a heat or humidity fan either (I hate multi-showers-needed days!) & will be closely reading as I prep for an August Med cruise……….. I SWORE never Europe in the summer again, but it looked like the best value for the Solar Eclipse!
I hope your trip continues fabulously & Bali is just as gorgeous as I’d imagine!
I’m curious about your purse.
It looks like a great travel size, especially when you mention the need for your portable fan. Loved your post. It was so interesting.
It’s been really handy because the strap is adjustable. I even carry it strapped around my waist which isn’t a great look but handy on long walking tours. I do think a backpack would have been smarter.
Jennifer, Love your travel journal and beautiful photos! I especially enjoyed the surfboard buildings one! The orchids must have been gorgeous and so fragrant! So glad you could pivot and buy such a cutie, cooling dress at the market! Thanks for sharing all of your adventures—looking forward to more!
Singapore ,one of my favourite cities, so safe. the food amazing the home of Satay.
Tauck tours are fab . i have done 2
I saw your pic and immediately recognized The Raffles! I lived in Singapore as an expat and my heart is still there. Would move back without any hesitation. Looks like you hit all the highlights and I’m glad you had a marvelous trip. My heart is full seeing your pics and smiles. Thanks for sharing!
Singapore is an amazing place I could easily see living in. Clean, safe, full of amazing things and lovely people. Lucky you to have experienced that.
Wonderful! Enjoyed everything about your travel post. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.
Enjoy the remainder of your travels,
Suzanne
Beautiful!! Loved the pics and descriptions!! Thanks for sharing and giving us the opportunity to experience the wonders of Singapore vicariously through your eyes!
I enjoyed your photos and thanks so much for sharing your experience with the climate as well as the stunning photo glimpses of your trip! We will be traveling with Tauck for the first time this fall and so glad to read the positive review of yours and some in the comments.
They’re a fabulous tour company! Have a wonderful time. Where are you going?
Love the travel diary. Hope it continues during your trip. Have a lovely time
I live in Atlanta and need one of those umbrellas. Which color did you get?
White. I felt it would reflect the most heat.
I really loved seeing your pictures. I have the purse you are carrying and was debating whether it was too big to bring on my sightseeing vacation. Were you happy with it or did you wish you brought something smaller? I also have the Waverly 2 and Pearl on your recommendation.
I also brought my Waverly. This is a tad big for around my waist but I did it many days so the versatility is fabulous. The bag is so light, it’s been great to stuff with my fan, sunglasses, bug wipes, sun screen, water bottle, hat if need be too.
Thanks for sharing! What a wonderful adventure!
Singapore looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next destination!!
My mother traveled there in the early 90s and said it was the cleanest most beautiful city she had ever traveled to. She lived in Tampa Florida so the humidity wasn’t as harsh an issue for her.
Your hotel is absolutely stunning! Old world charm, beautiful! Thank you for the gorgeous photos. You looked great, not dripping at all! I’m used to 7-10% humidity here in southern Colorado. Going from a high dry climate to a very hot humid climate would be something I could not do. I will travel vicariously through your wonderful blog Jennifer. Be safe.
The humidity is tough for sure.
The pictures are stunning, I would love to go there! I live in South Florida, so humidity here is pretty shocking if you aren’t used to it. I look at catalogs with summer clothes, and I used to work as a manager with women’s clothing, and I would shake my head. They didn’t get it. Seasons don’t translate to all areas. It’s so hot/humid here that for me being comfortable is higher on my list than fashion. If you can get both, that’s great. Sleeveless and loose is the way to go.
Hi, thanks for the travelog! We recently came back from uber-humid Melanasia, the humid and extreme UV were a major challenge, especially for sensitive skin.
I did see you thought that wide leg jeans may have been a better choice, but I’ll atest to the fact that they are a no go. They swish and cling to your moist legs, I can only say it was gross and I could hardly wait to take them off!
Ah, that makes total sense about any jeans.
Thanks for sharing your travel story! We are traveling to Universal with kids and grandkids at the end of June- your reminder about packing for humidity was helpful! I am already re-thinking what I was planning on packing!
Good idea!
Jennifer, I thoroughly enjoyed your travel blog today! Lucky you to be able to travel to such a wonderful place. Here’s a question for you. If you were to repack for this trip, what would you have left home and what would you have taken instead? The reason I ask is I was wondering if the black and navy items you wore retained the heat? Somehow I always think that dark colors will make me feel hot in the summer. So my first instinct is to wear white and light colors when I know I am going to travel to hot and humid places.
Interestingly, the black and navy items felt very similar to white and they allowed me to skip a slip which was very helpful.
So glad you had a memorable time in Singapore. It is splendid, especially when you think about what the country has accomplished on its little island at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula. Air conditioning certainly helped. We just returned, last month, from a week there, after two weeks of sailing in Thailand (same weather — being on the water didn’t help much). I did warn you about the heat and humidity — but there’s no way to explain how brutal it really is. One just has to experience it! The orchid garden is just spectacular, and we did love the cool house, where we lingered. I do worry about the doormen at Raffle’s Hotel — how can they stand being dressed the way they are, in this weather? And this is considered the “cool” season! Ha!
You did! Next time I will be more prepared.
Great pictures, Jennifer! Thanks for taking us along to Singapore. I live in eastern NC and our summers are hot and humid. It’s currently 90F with a feels like of 95F. From May to September, I usually wear a loose linen or cotton dress or skirt, and even with short or 3/4 sleeve length, I stay much cooler than wearing anything that touches my body. Definitely no jeans until October. Earrings only because necklaces and bracelets touching me make me even hotter and stickier. I’m going to look into your UPF umbrella because you are absolutely correct that hats get really hot.
Thanks for sharing about your vacation. I really appreciate it.
My husband and I are thinking about a Singapore trip.
It is an amazing country. I would definitely come back. It’s clean, organized, safe, and beautiful.
Excited to read about your trip! Thanks so much!
I’ve never been to Singapore and know I never will be, so I especially loved your travel blog! The photos and information are great. I had to laugh at the beginning when you talk about appropriate makeup for heat and humidity as I experienced the same thing in a tropical climate several years ago. As you said, it’s not about looking perfect but enjoying the experiences.
I love your travel adventures and travel wardrobe assessments!
Beautiful hotel! And your picures are amazing!
I looked at the Raffles Hotel Singapore and Tauck websites. Everything looks lovely but the cost is prohibitive for probably most people. Perhaps for a special occasion or the trip of a lifetime. You were brave in taking a trip to such a warm climate!
Hi Mary, Many people take these tours. As with clothing budgets, each woman’s budget is different.
So exciting!!! Thanks for sharing your travels. I would definitely be in that pool.
Hi Jennifer!
I haven’t written to you before this, but I just wanted to say that I do enjoy your blog. I’m 74 and I am learning new things from reading what you share–thanks so much! I loved the title, “My Suitcase Underestimated Singapore”–I had to laugh a bit because my memory of our trip to Singapore was from 25 years ago in the month of May, too!
My husband and I were invited by our good friend to be as the ‘dad and mom’, a prominent position standing up for his wedding to a woman from Singapore that he had met online. I had to wear a long gown all day, and my husband wore a suit and tie. We traveled in those clothes from one place to another –tea ceremony, huge reception dinner, and more–and endured it – smiling the whole time!! The heat and humidity had us feeling quite damp all day long -and it was challenging for my hair and makeup to look good, but that’s how it had to be!
We traveled the long way to Singapore from Illinois. It was amazingly fun to experience Singapore culture. We loved exploring some of the same places you just wrote about, too!
I totally enjoyed reading your blog today! Your photos were wonderful, too!! Thank you so much!!
What an amazing experience and honor for both of you.
Thanks for sharing your travel and clothing choices! What a beautiful place!
Thanks for this post-very enjoyable! It’s a nice change and loved learning a bit about Singapore. I wonder what time of year is best to go there to not get humidity? Or perhaps it’s always that way? Enjoy and keep posting!
I think this may be the best time of year to visit.
I was in Singapore in the 1970s. It is my very favorite country! It is not only immaculately clean but it smells wonderful. And, yes, it is very humid there…Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos. They brought back wonderful memories.
I have been to Singapore…I know that humidity! Lightweight, loose cotton/linen is the name of the game. And TAUCK is the best!
I agree, Tauck is amazing.
We just returned from a trip to Italy with Tauck. It was outstanding!! We live in SW Florida and I feel your pain about dressing for the humidity. Linen and gauze are my summer staples. I loved the travel post. Please keep sharing!
That sounds like an amazing trip!
Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. I love all the photos.
We were in Singapore in January and loved it. Did our own walking tours of the Muslim quarter and Chinatown, went to the fabulous Gardens by the Bay. Every underground subway station has a food court with foods from around the world, delicious and cheap!
Thanks so much for your travel post, Jennifer. Singapore has some beautiful architecture and sights. Thanks for sharing photos of your beautiful hotel. I have a work colleague who always takes Tauck tours so I will definitely check them out. I can imagine how you feel in that heat and humidity. I experienced that in Port Douglas, Australia which has tropical weather in February– I much prefer dry heat. I laughed at your description of yourself as a “messy puddle” as I can relate. I always pack with high aspirations too, no matter how hard I try. However, the dresses you packed look like excellent selections. Look forward to hear more of your travels.
I prefer dry heat too!
I am not nearly as adventurous as you and my husband even less! That being said- I LOVE your travel posts and they help with the travel we do!
Being on a tour like this makes all the difference. They plan everything and guide you in and out of all the airports and hotels.
We are devoted Tauckies! We no longer travel with anyone else (except ocean cruises when it’s with Regent, but if Tauck ever does ocean, we will use them)!
So glad you are able to experience what the rest of us Tauckies already know….
My husband still says the best almond croissant he ever had was at Raffles breakfast in Singapore!
I aspire to go on more of their tours!!
Thank you for this post. Travel posts are always welcome; maybe someday I’ll get there too.
Great tip about the sun umbrella. I’m off to Amazon to buy one for summer here.
They’re fabulous! I have a few non folding ones at home and love how cool they keep you.
Your last paragraph was perfect. Put all the hand wringing aside about what’s in your suitcase and just enjoy the experience. Great blog today!
Yes!!
Thank you for the reminder that travel fashion ideals shouldn’t dominate the travel! I feel stuck trying to choose and pack an IG worthy travel wardrobe, which sometimes just doesn’t suit the realities of extreme walking and the weather!
Exactly. Comfort and appropriate for the situation is more important than trying to look like a fashion plate.
Fun and funny post! Looks to be a fabulous trip, stay safe and cool. Rose lemonade + gin is looking mighty good right now……I see Whole Foods has a variation of it in stock. Travel is a passion of mine, and I will be traveling to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand next year.
Whole Foods? I’ll be checking it out at home.
Loved seeing your photos of Singapore. Fifty five years ago, my husband and I spent New Year’s in Singapore. We had a Singapore Sling at Raffles and took a boat cruise as you have. Back in the day, the airport in Singapore had a row of barber chairs as Customs would dictate if men’s hair was too long to enter the city state. We were newlyweds when my husband was assigned to the Army in Bangkok. That was an adventure for two years.

How wonderful!
Muji is on Robson in Vancouver too! They sell lots of homewards too.
Wonderful photos of Singapore. Thanks so much.
Awesome!! Thanks so much, I’ll be checking it out.
Jennifer,
Love seeing all your travel adventures. Tauck is the best, we did a Paris to Normandy river boat and have booked a Tauck Japan land trip for next April. We have been to Singapore and remember the oppressive heat and always wanting to find a cool place to sit down. Don’t forget to have a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel. Try to stay cool, you look great in all your pictures.
Japan sounds amazing! It’s one of my favorite destinations and I bet Tauck does an amazing job.
Thank you for sharing your Singapore trip. Despite the humidity, it looks like the trip of a lifetime! Would be interested in seeing more on Muji dresses if you find some in the states. Maybe you should consider buying more while you’re there. Safe travels!
I will share more of what they have.
I love this post. Keep them coming. Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying your trip. A good friend of mine (whose father was in the British Army stationed in Singapore) has photos of him sitting on the verandah at Raffles surrounded by big game hunters complete with shooting gear and game. This was back before World War Two. Singapore’s heat is oppressive, very similar to Bangkok’s, but your choice of clothing looks perfect. Bali will be the same.
Thank you for a realistic assessment of what the travel experience is really like in Singapore. We will be there at the end of the year. I will definitely consider my wardrobe carefully. Love your blogs and know that you give real life value. Thank you
Thank you so much Yvette. I’m very happy to hear that my posts are helpful.
I’d love to hear more about the Tauck trip. We only use them for land tours.
When you announced this trip I thought “Singapore in mid-May”. Must be more heat and humidity tolerant than I am. I transited Singapore in early March. We had to find an alternate way home from Nepal when war broke out. Flying east was the only option. We spent a night in a holiday inn Express. All the restaurant seating was open air and I was grateful for my breezy south India wardrobe. That was about as hot and humid as I can tolerate with good humor. You didn’t mention how great Changi is. If you have a trip to Singapore or just a long layover, the Changi Jewel shouldn’t be missed.
We didn’t have time to shop it arriving but plan to when we depart! 🙂
Your pictures are amazing! I loved them all. And it looks like you indeed dressed for the climate with sleeveless and linen. You looked great! I’ve made the mistake a few times of packing for the way I envision things will be like wherever I’m going, and ha, found out I was ALL wrong!! Thanks for sharing!
Lol, it was a big surprise. I like to think of myself as an organized packer. But this kind of humid hot weather proved me wrong.
Beautiful place, thanks for sharing. The first time you travel to a different climate is a learning experience of clothing choices. I live in an area that is below 30 for a couple months a year, but in the 90’s and high humidity for 3 -4 months a year. Floaty clothing, and several showers a day is how I handle it. Have a blessed week!
Very interesting post! Thank you Jennifer.
Liked the perfect black dress, although maybe it was hot. What brand is it? Love the pictures of your trip!
I’ve discovered Shana dresses for hot weather travel. They don’t wrinkle, are very lightweight, and floaty. I literally walked into the shower wearing one after a brutally hot summer day in France, washed the dress right there as well as myself. They dry quickly. I have 4 of them!
It was an old Eileen Fisher cotton shift. Very comfy. I don’t think color matters much with humidity.
Jennifer, I love that you are sharing our travels with us. Please keep doing so!
And Muji!! I LOVE that store. I found one last summer while I was staying in downtown Portland, Oregon and bought so many good things. And, good news–y’all have them in Vancouver (there’s one on Robson street). I went to that one as well, and again, bought so many good things. I wish there were more of them in the US. My son goes to college in Los Angeles, which seems like a perfect place to have one, but there are none in LA. They do have Uniqlo, which I also love. Anyway, happy and safe travels!
We stopped into Uniqlo too. Great prices and the clothes are perfect for the weather. I’m excited to try the
Maje in Vancouver!
Well, I am certainly here for all the travel posts, however many you can manage either during or after your trip! Your photos are wonderful, thanks for taking the time to post!
I’m glad to hear that, Patricia. Thanks
Your pictures are fabulous. Did you get to see the Merlion spew lighted water into Marina Bay at night? We were lucky to travel right by it on our bumboat. The Raffles Hotel was under construction when we visited, so I couldn’t have their famous Singapore Sling cocktail. You’re so right; wearing a hat was miserable. I remember melting in February! I wish I’d thought of an umbrella because you look amazing in that heat and humidity.
We did see it from the Boat ride. Really striking.
Thank you so much for sharing Singapore with us!!!
You look great !!
Thanks Sherri!
Hi Jennifer, what a fabulous post! If nothing else, the photo of that chandelier was worth it (😂) but your advice on realistic packing and what to investigate about your destination is exactly what I needed to hear. We returned home from a trip last night & as I unpacked I was shaking my head about the unrealistic choices I had been lugging around. Thank you, and although it was soggy, your trip looks amazing. Jo
I’ll be doing the same when I get home. I was sadly unprepared.
Love your post! Glad you enjoyed Singapore! My son live and family live there so we visit often. I had to laugh about the showers! Three a day sometimes! I live in sleeveless dresses. I laugh that the first time we went we took a light shell for the downpours and quickly realized we would NEVER wear them. The only difference when it rains is that your outside is as wet as your inside (sweat).
We stayed in the rain too. It felt like a cool shower!
I completely understand. I agonized over packing last fall for a trip to Argentina, and paid more attention to the Argentina experiences I imagined than the ones that we actually engaged in. I give myself a D minus on packing and it was so frustrating to get dressed every day, thinking wistfully of all of the better options I had left at home!
I thoroughly enjoyed this post, thank you!
Same!!! I do have most of the right things, they’re just at home.
Oh I sympathize with you, Jennifer. I really hate heat and humidity and have a lot of trouble trying to keep it all together. The proper clothing makes such a huge difference and at some point, the fabulous outfit I have planned for just goes out the window and I go back to something loose and comfortable that is presentable. Then, feet swelling from the heat defeats all the cute shoes and I have to rely on a reliable, but unexciting sandal.
Your visit really looks wonderful and I appreciate your sharing it with us. Putting Singapore on my wish list, just mentally noting to try to find the coolest, driest time to visit.
Loved your travel blog! We are huge Tauck clients and it has never disappointed. Enjoy every minute!
Tauck is doing such an amazing job!!
WOW!! So much beauty to take in. The architecture alone has me swooning.
It’s just stunning here.
You will love Tauck. We have used several tour companies over the years and feel Tauck went above and beyond.
Tauck is really amazing. They pay great attention to all thesmall details.
Beautiful. I can only imagine the heat and humidity. You looked great.
I was melting 🙂
Hi Jennifer, I loved this post! It’s great when bloggers step away from their routine and show us something different. I loved the photos of the architecture and all of the information on Singapore. Real-life fashion information while traveling is so helpful! Thank you for your insights into Singapore and how much of a role it played in your wardrobe while there.
Adorable picture of you with your Muji!
He was so funny
It’s a fabulous dress. I think they’re also in the US so I’ll be looking into them more.
