Reflections on My Month-Long Travel Adventure

Travel, Traveling Singapore

I have had an opportunity to travel and see new places for a month, what a trip it has been! Every day was filled with new sights as we explored destinations that I had wanted to visit. I truly got to see some wonderful places. Each had its own unique charm and beauty. I also met family and friends that I have not seen in years. This made the experience even more special. I am ever so happy I got to do this trip . My mind is filled with unforgettable memories. My husband is going to help me word these memories as he kept daily notes on what we saw did in the following posts

The trip back home felt like it took forever, and I was seriously sleep-deprived; it took me a whole week to feel normal again. Even after such a tiring adventure, I am still feeling the aftermath. Honestly, the pressure to catch up on everything is a bit overwhelming. Then I went through my photos, it was a new reason to stress out. I realized I had snapped thousands of pics on my journey. Each one needs a good look; did it really capture what I had in mind? Now, I’ve got to sort through them all. I need to wrap my head around what I shot. Only then can I tackle the job of editing each one. Since I shoot in RAW, the editing is super important and pretty time-consuming. Normally, I love this creative process, and I’m set on enjoying it this time too. I’m ready to dive in, and I’ve already started with our first stop. Now I can bring them to life through editing and figure out which ones are worth keeping.

These I took with my iPhone as we approached our first destination Singapore from above. I am amazed how good photos the phones take these days. We we also rather amazed how many container ships there were.

  1. What an adventure. When you’e raedy, I’m lookig forward to hearing more. One big disadavantage of digital is how very my shots we can just snap away at. Back in the old days, we had to be so much more circumspect. You might have come home with well under 100 photos. In some way, that made us choose our moments so much more carefully.

  2. I thought I hadn’t seen any posts recently. I bet you had a fantastic trip. Jet lag is just awful. I usually take a sleeping tablet for the first three days which helps. Sounds like you have a big job ahead with the photos. The first lot are amazing. I had to take a good look at the container ships as I couldn’t work out what they were!

  3. Oh, wow Ritva! what an amazing trip you must have had! Looking forward to seeing some images when you are ready to tackle all that editing….Margaret’s comment is so true

  5. You sound like me after a trip – tired from the journey, happy to have so many wonderful memories and a bit daunted by the number of photos that need sorting and editing! I’m really looking forward to seeing your photos in due course and hearing more about your adventures 🙂

  6. What an adventure! Good iPhone images of Singapore from the air. I’m looking forward to more photographs of your trip.

  8. Those are some impressive airplane window shots. I’m also happy to hear you are a fellow RAW shooter. The creative process may be more work, but has always been worth it in my book.

  10. I second Anne’s note. I love these plane photos and look forward to experience your journey in due time. I know how long it takes me to process photos after a trip. I love the editing process, too.

  12. They are great photos from the plane. I’m amazed at how many container ships there are.

    …….and tall buildings.

    I remember little of my brief stays in Singapore in 1976 & 197? (note: I know I’ve been there twice, but can’t remember which year).

    I do remember that many of the buildings and streets around our hotel were one or two story and looked much like that did in the mid 20thC. I also remember how clean the streets were and at that time there was a $500 fine if you dropped litter.

    Take your time. Don’t hurry that reviewing and editing process too much. I am looking forward to see all your photos from the trip.

    That’s one of the great aspects of blogging and sharing. You can see the world through someone else’s eyes.
