I agree with lwings. The trip there is a killer. It took me more than 20 hours to get there. Lol. I usually have a stopover in Japan.

So far, I have been to Silicon Valley, San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas and Texas. If anyone has gone there after 9/11, it's a nightmare. The immigration queues is so long. It took me more than 3 hours to clear immigration when I went there last and I heard from my colleagues recently it didn't get much better cos the checks are really stringent.

I must say that I am humbled when I am in Texas. Everything there is really huge, from the food portions, the flags, shopping malls, roads and even parking lots. It makes you feel that Singapore is really small. You have to drive in order to cross the road from my hotel to McDonalds even though it's literally across the road. Lol.
