After 11 months without leaving Singapore, we were ready for a vacation. And this would be our first trip with the munchkin. To be honest, as the days grew closer, we both started to get pretty nervous. What if our kid screams for 5 hours? What if she gets sick? What if she screams for 5 hours?

Well, it turned out she was a perfect angel. She sucked pacifier, had dinner, walked around the plane and stared at the passengers, but she wasn't really fussy at all...

...and luckily Rebecca was ready for her arrival in the hotel where we felt the need to pose her in a variety of positions. She loved the king size bed and, amazingly, she takes up more room than either Beth or I.

Of course, after checking out the digs, we had to take the obligatory Australia trip to the zoo to see some cuddly animals.
