I've arrived. It seems like a lifetime since I hugged Mum & Dad goodbye and took off in Manchester, waving down at Christiano Ronaldo et al as my ears popped.
From there, I boarded the Qantas flight from London to Singapore, and it was easily the best flight I've ever been on. Maybe it's because I'm used to the likes of Ryan Air, where the amount of room provided forces you to adopt the brace position, I don't know. But it was great. The food was nice (I had a chicken roast dinner and a cooked breakfast if you're asking), and I watched Argo (which was bum clenchingly tense). I even opted to listen to an Enrique Iglesias album in my slightly dozy state (see in photos). Was one of his early ones, pre-mole removal. I don't recommend it.
Right now I'm in the hotel room in Singapore. Feeling a little lonely, and a teeny weeny bit nervous, but above all excited for what awaits. It's 30 degrees and it's nearly 10pm. I'm definitely going to sweat the bed. Wish me luck.

Chris Whitfield You might need Paul McKenna's self-help book, 'I Can Make You Forget Vivir by Enrique Iglesias'...
Gill Whitfield I can just visualise you sitting on the bed, doing your blog. Reading it will quickly become my favourite pastime!!
Oliver Whitfield Was tracking your flight this morning using flightradar24.com (another busy day at work!). Have fun in Singapore, I reckon it will all start to feel real when you're at the hostel. Keep us updated!
Monica Hey! Well done so far!!! Hope you don't WET the bed , never mind sweating it! Haha! You look after yourself, young man! And have an ace time!!! Will be following your blog! It does feel a bit lonely, I understand where you're coming from on that one! I usually travel alone, and feel the same, when sitting on a bed in some hotel far away from all those I love, however amazing the place may be...you just would love to share it! Sleep tight weary traveller!!! Tomorrow will bring many new things! Looking forward to more from you! :-) xx Monica
Surf Ahh looking forward to reading this Charlie! What a fab adventure :D
Andrew Exciting experience isn't it! As a world traveller my advice to you is never look at the mattress under the sheets or you will never sleep a wink!
