So, for better or worse, the transportation of the Stockdales from Kansas City to Singapore was pretty painless.  The little Stockdales did reasonably well.  No major screaming, yelling, whining, or crying.  I almost wish we had some funny stories about the middle little Stockdale trying to open the emergency eixt, but no such luck.   The only thing I will say is that airplane bathrooms were not made for taking little kids to the bathroom.

The most exciting part probably occurred when we arrived in Singapore and were leaving baggage claim.   It was about 1:00 am local time and Mrs. Stockdale’s boss and his wife had come out to greet us.  Many thanks to them for great gesture.  It really made us feel like Singapore is our new home.
