"We were supposed to have an epic few days. Then, plans changed. Despite our plans being shaken up, I went on the trip alone. My flight to Singapore was scheduled for Sunday, January 25. By the Friday before my departure, I was already bubbling over with excitement, packed, and counting down the hours until our trip would begin. And then Storm Fern announced itself, and Qatar Airways canceled my flight."
"I had booked us 90-minute massages at Auriga Spa at Capella Singapore the morning of my birthday, painstakingly selected the perfect Michelin-star restaurant for dinner, and bookmarked a couple of cocktail bars to keep the festivities going. I had mapped out hawker centers and booked us a heritage tour."
"Many love solo travel, but I just kept wishing I could share my experiences with my husband. The updated itinerary had me landing in Singapore at 4 p.m. on my birthday, leaving Steve and me with less than 24 hours together before he was to return to the States."
A woman planned a 45th birthday celebration trip to Singapore with her husband after a disappointing birthday the previous year. Her husband suggested the overseas getaway to visit a bucket-list destination. He was to meet her on Sentosa Island after business in Tokyo, and they had planned massages, fine dining, cocktail bars, and heritage tours. A major storm canceled her initial flight, delaying her departure by two and a half days. The new arrival time on her birthday left insufficient time for a meaningful visit together. Despite the disruption, she decided to take the trip alone, having traveled solo before.
