Hi there,
I am typing this at the free internet cafe in the Singapore Airport. This airport is something to be experienced!! It is expansive, and beautiful, and there are many options for relaxing. I have not tried the spas along the way, but almost, I am ready to.
I am thanking God that I am here - I had an adventure in Manila at the airport which involved realizing at the ticket counter that I needed a travel entry visa for Australia (I did not have one!) - the other financial visa issue ended up being a non-issue!! - being snuck through the immigration by attendants who were hoping that I would not be asked to produce a ticket (they could not give me a ticket until I had an entry visa!) and then applying for a visa at the Singapore Airlines lounge. $20 later and 5 minutes later, all was well, but the 2 hours getting to that point was a bit nerve-racking. As I get on this next plane, I will be half-way through my flight itinerary. I still like flying at this point!! Ask me again near the end of the trip!
There were those who were wondering if my luggage would be too heavy. So, just for those in Manila who have some stake in this - it was 26.5 kilos - the maximum weight being 30 kilos. So who wins, Amanda?
I am weary and happy, and looking forward to this next part of the trip. And I am missing everyone at home. Much to reflect on.
Love you much,
Peace,
Mary

Mary,
Thanks for calling again to say that you got the visa--I was worried. Judy and I ask: do you need a visa to return to Manila?
LJ wins the bet. Now is it 100 pesos or dollars? I did hear Karen say "one hundred bucks." :-)
Rest well,
Amanda
Hi Mary,
What a gift it has been to read your blog and journey with you! I don't know if you know this website: www.timelesstruths.org
On it you can find the words and music for almost every hymn ever written.
Love to you,
Rita
