Those of you that know Christopher also know that he loves
iconic buildings. In every city we visit
this is usually the goal. He was at the
top of the WTC and The Empire State Building in NYC in April 2001, the
Fernsehturm in Berlin, The Petronas Towers in KL, and on and on. So when it came time to celebrate his Golden
Birthday (25) in Singapore, what better way than to spend the night at The
Marina Bay Sands.
At about $600 USD per night one night was enough. And what a great time we had. After checking in (we got pulled out of the
long line and taken to the VIP desk—lord knows why) we headed down to MBS where
we celebrated with lunch at the DC Super Hero’s Café at MBS. Christopher is a fan of both Marvel and DC,
so he likes having lunch here now and then.
After lunch we headed to our room and quickly changed into
our swimsuits, covered up with the requisite white robe that was just long
enough for me, grabbed our coveted room keys, and headed to the main
attraction—the infinity pool on the roof, 57 stories above the ground.
You can only access the pools if you are a hotel guest—what
an experience. Julie landed 3 lounges on
a shallow shelf in the “adults only” pool.
Standing in the pool, leaning on the outside edge, and just looking out
at Singapore was pretty special and worth every penny. 
After spending the afternoon in the pool, we headed back
there the next morning well before checkout thinking we would be the only
ones. Everyone else in MBS seemed to
have the same idea. The good thing was
after stretching out time to the max, we were able to hop in a taxi and be home
in 20 minutes.
Don’t you love giving a birthday present that everyone can
enjoy?
