Sold!

As I was pondering the various alternative, I saw the SAME flights
and days I had been looking at went from $1212 to $1376, $1618,
and $1625 USD pp!!  STILL that way.

I was kicking myself (not an easy trick to perform BTW) for not
doing my usual instant decision.   So, when I looked later and
saw an opening for the $1212 old fare, I garbbed it immediately,
and I am now booked to arrive SIN at 1:05 AM on 4/16 and depart
SIN at 6:20 AM on 4/28.

At first I thought the cheaper fare was because of the 1:05 AM
arrival, but all the other fares have the SAME arrival time!
What's there to do in Singapore between 1 am and hotel check-in
time?   :-))

So, it's no longer tentative.   4/16-21 at the Conrad, and 4/22-
27 open for just about anything you or Robert and others decide
about a diving side trip. If we go Bali, 4/27 is one of the
possible return days (Tuesday) from Bali to SIN, and 4/28
6:20 departure will fit in with that.

Meanwhile, one of you let me know whether our out-of-SIN portions
(air, hotel, diving) can be booked on my VISA (or AMEX) credit
cards.   If not how do I get the moola to one of you bookees?
