I went to Washington DC with a colleague to attend a 4 days conference in Washington DC and was away from Mar 14 - 21. YX stayed over at my mum's place. The flight there was close to 30 hours transiting at Frankfurt and New York! It's a long and tiring flight but a good thing was SIA's meals are great with ice cream, toblerone and chips. The next day, we did some shopping at Potomac Mills Mall. We also managed to squeeze some time out to the Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets for another round of shopping! On the last day before our evening flight, we took the 7am shuttle to the metro station and we took the train to Macpherson Square for some sightseeing. We had wanted to visit the White House but then realised we need to seek clearance from the embassy at least 6 months ahead. The weather's duper cold and we braved the wind walking around for hours. It's a fruitful and enjoyable trip for both of us.
