Laos
Long-belated visit to one of the few countries I had yet to visit in Southeast Asia, Laos. Getting there is actually a bit of a pain due to somewhat limited connection options from the United States, usually involving at least one overnight layover and/or a nasty potential delay in the event of a missed connection. Opted to go to Vientiane instead of the more scenic Luang Prabang in part because of this - getting to the former was even more difficult in the limited time I had.
Days 1/2: the long haul to Singapore for an overnight layover; in theory could have left the day before had I wanted to risk the worst travel day of the Thanksgiving holiday, but decided to pass on that mess.
Day 3: delayed arrival into Laos due to a world-wide Airbus maintenance delay, but arrived in time to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Mekong River.
Day 4: morning walk around Vientiane before heading back to Singapore, plus checking out the Star Wars Library pop-up at Changi Airport's terminal 3.
Day 5: the usual return home.
