>>>*No matter how you cut it, Singapore Airlines's flight (and that's the carrier we have to take since I have a bunch of unused mileage with them)...

Sir Macintosh,

Thank you again...and, yes, you are correct: our flights will (mostly) be on the A380. Not sure if I posted about it here but I finally *did* have the opportunity to fly on/experience biz class on Singapore's A380 back in May when I flew to Frankfurt for a quick trip from NYC. Needless to say, that experience was a driver for the return business. Wow--what an airline! What a seat!

If plans work out the way I hope for this year, we will, indeed, have 3 or 4 nights all-in in Singapore. With that said, hopefully our paths will finally cross and we can manage a G&T in your favorite haunt, extolling the virtues of your favorite carrier...or just exchanging stories of travel debauchery. Always a pleasure to hear from you!

Not to hijack, but can anyone comment on the new highway between the airport and Colombo? Has it significantly shortened travel time?

We will arrive at 9pm after many hours of travel and will be quite hungry. I'm debating between staying in Negombo and driving into Colombo so that, the next morning, we can leave easily from Colombo. Any input much appreciated.

Sort of tagging the thread for more reading as we've got our tix to Sri Lanka for early April.
