Well I'm thinking of this if fares drop/upgrades available (and yes i know i can book now, but i also have to pay now gang & hope for the fares go down; given i'm booking other stuff, that's not as good for me). anyway, i'll follow this but also want to throw a ringer out there (which mjm knows about). i'm allergic to seafood, so anyplace i go to has to have 1 - only 1 - non-seafood item or my meal will be beer.

Hey jan, I said I only needed 1 non-seafood item - chicken satay works for me! 
mjm knows of my allergy and has 'watched my back' in the past on dos, so didn't think it'd be a problem this time. of course just having beer as a meal at an FT do - wouldn't be the first time

Sharon, we had a great veggie dish in January, as well as the aforementioned chicken satay and some awesome rolls - about the density of cannonballs, but ever so good. Singapore has amazing food, and I am confident any seafood restaurant we land at will have non-seafood dishes as well.

Last year, 3 of we women went to many of the massage places in Chinatown. We had really good massage - in fact, went again the following day - but the professionalism lacked. My masseuse took a phone call while doing my reflexology. I'll be back in Chinatown in January, searching for that perfect place.Affordable massage and pepper crabs - two great reasons to join the SIN run. Welcome aboard, and I look forward to meeting in January.

Aye! Aye! Captain! ^
I will get to work as soon as I get there, since I am a spa-diva myself! That's the first thing I will look for. Might take me a while to realize what "cheap" is in their currency! How much would you consider cheap?

. I think that I paid $35 at the Conrad for an amazing one hour massage that thoroughly banished jet lag from my body and thought that as a good deal - til I got to Chinatown and found one hour massage or reflexology for $15/hour (well, the Sing equivalent). We went to Xiyuan Beauty & Aromatherapy, 208A Telok Ayer Street. There were a number of massage places in the neighborhood and I want to try a different place with better spa etiquette. You can spot them by the sign out front of two feet with all the reflexology points in gaudy colors.

Massage and reflexology
Personally I could spend the entire weekend eating crab, hanging out in the Conrad lounge and getting massages and reflexology. Maybe we can call this one the massage run

For the meantime, lemme get my weekly Reiki treatment -- have you tried it? You should! I hope they have Reiki in Sing... but I would settle for Thai or Swedish, or maybe they have a specialty of their own in Singapore.
Spa and crabs? Wow, what more can a lady ask for?!?!
