After 3 nights, yeah!
It turns out there is another patient here with dengue fever…
Kudos to the great staff at Centro Medico Punta Cana.

In the hospital with dengue fever
After a rough weekend in bed with a fever and aches. In the Dominican Republic.
Most likely got bit in Singapore based on the incubation period.
My “office” perch in TG (Thai Airways) lounge at HKG
Had dinner and a shower here after my half day in Hong Kong yesterday. This is the best of the 3 *A lounges at HKG – the SG (Singapore Airlines) lounge is nice but windowless and equivalent to their Gold lounge in SIN, ie not the full biz lounge I expected bad on the name
In HKG for 12 hours
Very hazy day, zero sun or views.
Didn’t sleep at all – watched a movie instead (The Dark Knight Rises) which was almost as long as the flight.
Put my bag in left luggage (HK$10/US$1.30 per hour, max HK$100 per 24 hours) since I can’t recheck it until 18:30 which is 4hrs before the flight.
I need some coffee and then dim sum.
SG: swish biz lounge at SIN
In the Singapore Airlines SilverKris lounge (the biz and first class lounge, which is oddly named add it’s a higher class/standard than their Gold lounge, which is still a step up from a United Club lounge)
I ignored the closer contract lounge to which checkin counter had given me a pass.
Even though it’s early, I ate breakfast so I can sleep on the plane.
Great food spread with fancy east and west food items
The long road back
In the taxi to SIN airport. Before 5am.
For the first time this trip, I didn’t wake up before my alarm.
I’m long forward to sleeping on the lie-flat seat in biz on this first leg to HKG.
Indonesia: 9th new “country” in the last 14 months :-)
If you count Hong Kong and Macau (and Puerto Rico) as distinct “countries”, which for my purposes they are (different entry requirements).
Update: changed title to say 9th, not 8th, as I forgot Puerto Rico.
Singapore CBD from the ferry
Off to Batam, Indonesia for a half day
1hr fast ferry S$47/US$38 round trip inc port taxes
And after a week in Asia I’m still waking up before my alarm clock!
Fish head curry bday dinner
With friends In Little India, Singapore last night
