Tips: Get your passports now if you don't have them. Go to TSA.gov and get the travel requirments on carryon and air travel. If you can find a phone that will work overseas and here in the states, buy it, phone systems not as reliable overseas. Don't plan to get everything in that one week...look at all the things you want to do and pick just a few of the most interesting.
I have my passport already. I got it a few years back. I am concerned about the phone situation. I am looking into one right now. I have the iphone and so far have not gotten a straight answer about whether it will work in these places. I have international coverage through my carrier, however when we went to Jamaica last year I had my Verizon work phone and it worked fine, but my husbands AT&T did not. Now that I no longer have the Verizon I worry.

Singapore: Very Safe. Don't carry chewing Gum(Illegal). Crime is almost wiped out due to the automatic death penalty for drugs.
I have always liked folklore and culture, when I traveled I used to do things so I can learn the history of the place I was staying and I didn't find that in the tourist attractions, but traveling the off beaten path and talking to the local people.
Whats wrong with chewing gum? I will be alone alot in Singapore so I am most anxious about being there. I am 5'9", blonde and fear that I will stick out like a sore thumb with American tourist written all over me LOL
I agree with getting off the beaten path. I have done that alot in the Caribbean. I really love going into the country and just hanging out with the locals. I have made a lot of friends in a few countries down there that I still stay in touch with. I have learned so much from them all.
