Hi fellow VTs

I plan to visit Singapore for 3D2N this late April. I have sort through interesting places to go in Singapore. Singapore zoo, USS, Singapore Botanic Garden are on my top list. I'll stay in a hostel. Please suggest how much money to spend (if you could advise me with budget meals and MRT average fare as well) for that 3D2N. 

Thanks for your help.

My husband and I from the DC area are celebrating our 10th Anniversary this year.
We would like to leave for Singapore (on the East Coast) on Dec 28 and return around Jan 10th.
When would be the best time this year to purchase tickets?
We understand that using our Verizon Iphones would be ridiculously expensive while there, even with their international plan?
How do you you suggest for us to communicate with each other while we are there, if we need to get in touch with each other, if for some reason during our stay we have separate itineraries?
Any advice would be great.
Thx

My husband and I are arriving on 5/11 from the US and starting our trip with a 7 day cruise. However, our cruise doesn't leave until 10pm. Any suggestions on what to do before embarking? I'm sure we will be wide awake as we will still be on US time. Not sure it will be worth it to get a cheap hotel, but also don't feel like lugging around our luggage. Any suggestions?
