Because of my limited funds, I chose a flight with a 10 hour layover in Singapore.  I thought that if I could get a layover in Tokyo, I could sleep in one of those tiny compartments I've heard about--like squeezing into a peanut shell.  But I could not find one. The other consideration is picking a flight that will land on a Monday which is the day the organization United Planet will pick me up.  Of course, I have no idea what grade the children I will be teaching are in.  That information will come later.  I have a variety of learning aids that I could bring with me.  Getting back to the travel plans, I tried finding a layover in Hong Kong or Bangkok.  But after I looked up information about the airports themselves, I settled on Singapore Airlines.  The flight can last anywhere from 20 hours to 40 hours.  But because of the dateline, the flight will always be 2 days.
