D Chaingi Airport  ....

Singapore's Chiangi Airport is one airport I would both say "pretty and handsome". It is a friendly gateway where directions are conspicuously posted visible to the public especially to first timers like me. Everything is inorder.  

Singapore was the second country in Asia that we visited and in every destinations that we went through, we label our journey as seamless the moment we stepped into the  airport.  As I travel, I also search about the airport.  There were lots of information about Chiangi Airport and I would like to include here this information from Wikipedia as the source. 

"Changi Airport, is the main airport inSingapore. A major aviation hub in Southeast Asia, it is about 17.2 km (10.7 mi) northeast^[4] from the commercial centre in Changi, on a 13 square kilometres (3,200 acres) site.

Changi Airport has three passenger terminals with a total annual handling capacity of 66 million dpassengers. Terminal 1 opened in 1981, followed by Terminal 2 in 1990 and Terminal 3 in 2008. The Budget Terminal, opened on 26 March 2006 and closed on 25 September 2012, will make way for Terminal 4 which will be ready by 2017.^[7]

In 2013, the airport handled 53.1 million passengers, a 5% increase over the previous year. This made it the fifth busiest airport by international passenger traffic in the world^[8] and the second busiest in Asia by international passenger traffic in 2012. The airport registered 4.92 million passenger movements in December 2012, a growth of 8.6% year-on-year. Changi’s daily record was broken on 21 December 2013, the Saturday before Christmas Day, with 191,800 passengers passing through the 24 hours. In addition to being an important passenger hub, the airport is one of the busiest cargo airports in the world, handling 1.85 million tonnes of cargo in 2013. The total number of commercial aircraft movements was 343,800 in 2012.^[9]

The airport has won over 430 awards since 1981, including 30 'Best' awards in 2012. Changi Airport's efforts to counter the onset of age include periodic physical upgrades to its existing terminals and building new facilities.^{[9]" ....  Wikipedia}

I Love To Travel ...

With my winged feet, I also love the gateways that I've been to ... I am amazed ... and I love the airports, the airplanes, the people, the lines of suitcases in the carousel, the nice walls, the colored benches, and most of all the clean restrooms ... I like it ... you like it too am sure of that .... I will be posting photos of the airports as entry and exit points of those trips ...

I see magic in this kingdom ...

As fairy tale stories happened in palaces, in kingdoms ... the stories go beyond and travel to all corners of the world ... from places to places ... from one home to another ... the story fits all ages ... to both the young and the grown up, the rich and the poor.

While still a kid I read a lot of fairy tale stories and I still love them until today and when there are new 

movies about fairy tale stories, I find time to watch them.

I also love to watch the movies of Walt Disney Production ... very light ... very entertaining ... it has moral 

lessons.

Cartoons also is my weakness so with our youngest that even at our age, my son already a professional, 

we watch cartoon movies together in the big screen.  It gives us a happy feeling watching these movies.

I thought we are only good up to reading them in books and watching them on TV.

Because my husband surprised us with a trip to DisneyWorld where we traveled for 18 hours by plane from the Philippines with another 48 hours land trip from our point of entry at Washington, DC.

The kids enjoyed every minute that we were there and they had a great time with the Disney characters.

Then we had a second trip and I was amazed with what I saw in the Magic Kingdom. So pretty perfect that kids from all over were so excited with the entertainment, the Disney characters, and the place itself.

Tourists buried themselves on numerous entertainment, classic attractions, spectacular parade and fireworks.

I learned that Magic Kingdom in Disneyworld opened October 1, 1971.

Wikipedia quoted Roy Oliver Disney with this  "Walt Disney World is a tribute to the philosophy and life of Walter Elias Disney... and to the talents, the dedication, and the loyalty of the entire Disney organization that made Walt Disney's dream come true. May Walt Disney World bring Joy and Inspiration and New Knowledge to all who come to this happy place ... a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn — together. —Roy Oliver Disney 

In a framed poster displayed in the main building there, it said that as a boy Walt Disney was a dreamer. As a boy he traveled the rails of Missouri Pacific Railroad selling newspapers and candy to passengers. His older brother Roy and his Uncle Mike Martin obtained employment with the Sta. Fe Railroad and Walt dreamed of becoming an engineer. His future took a different path but his love for railroad never diminished. In the late 40's, with Walt Disney Production a very successful venture, he focused on building his own railroad, the Carolwood Pacific, a 1/8 scale, live steam railway that traveled 2,600 feet of track around his backyard. The miniature served as the model of Disneyworld Rairoad and the inspiration of the Disney World Railroad.

Reading this I was in awe on the courage of Walt Disney, where from a humble beginning, he went on dreaming and fulfilling that dream.

At the Magic Kingdom a lot of beautiful structures unfolded and my eyes was caught by the Cinderella Palace so amazed seeing it personal because I watched the many structures including the Cinderella Palace of DisneyWorld only on TV.

Awesome, wonderful, amazing entertainment.

There are lots of enjoyment while there.  There are lots of spaces to explore.

For me, it is a place to also dream and be inspired.  For one to work on that dream, reaching out, focusing on it, praying hard that one day that dream come true. My trip to Disney was among the many dreams in my life and yes indeed it was "a dream come true".

the people

the trees

the flowers

the animals

the birds

and most importantly

the experience

and

the memories

that i gonna write about  

or capture them in pictures

so that my loved ones, including you,

help me appreciate the beauty 

that travel brings 

and never will my winged feet

stop me from seeing places

around me and elsewhere ... 

how grateful I am to have enjoyed

the opportunity given by travel 

...

just being grateful ...

Grand Canyon ...

The Grand Canyon Visit ... while you are 
there, one could not help but say all praises to 
the beautiful creation of the Almighty ... 
by bus we travelled to the state of Arizona 
from Las Vegas... not minding the long 
travel because reaching the place was 
indeed rewarding.

On tour were people of different nationalities 
with only one purpose to marvel the beauty 
of the mountain, the shapes, the curves that 
were formed as the water passes through.  
So amazing that everyone of us 
just want to be silent and bring home 
the splendor and the grandiose site in 
this world.

Awesome should I say seeing grasses 
clinging to the rocks, the stones sitting 
at the deepest ground, the branches 
of trees reaching out to the other end of the 
line and the sky beautifully adding color 
to this wonderful world of nature. 

I salute those who labored for making 
this park as pretty as it could be, 
a place where man could reach out 
to nature and hopefully be motivated 
with this nature's park of participating 
and at the same time embracing the call of 
protecting the environment. 

If given the chance, I would love to travel 
to the canyon again and again, 
the Grand Canyon ... perfectly amazing !

Travelling by train is more than fun ....

Travelling by train is an experience and a lot more fun ...

Twas my first train ride actually in a foreign land and it 

was a long ride of 18 hours from Orlando, Florida to Washington, DC ...

Since it was a long trip, we checked in our luggage and 

with me in the coach was my hand carry bag with 

some personal effects, cookies and bottled water.

I didn't know it was cold inside but other passengers 

who were regular train riders were prepared for the 

long trip coz they brought with them blankets 

and even pillows.

What I was excited about were the sites that 

this long wheeled train passes through. 

So I made sure my camera was with me all the time. 

I chose the window seat so everything was within my sight ...

After four hours of our travel that started late 

afternoon, it was already night and the cold became so 

intense that I had to move to the cafeteria for some

hot coffee until it was daybreak. After freshening 

up I went back to my coach and there again I started 

clicking my camera ...

I forgot all about the cold discomfort because nature's 

beauty amazed me.

How could one resist what this wonderful world that has

to offer with scenes I captured despite the fast moving 

vechile I was into ... like this monument 

"The Pencil" towering from afar

Nonetheless, all I can say is that never should man 

ever spoil the beautiful creation of God ...

I could only be thankful of the many blessings around 

me ! ... Thanks for this wonderful experience as I 

was able to share some photos I took during that 

one train ride ... with an interesting partner, hubby.
