Driving insurance buy from the car rental company. Go for both Damage waiver (covers all damage to the rental car, they don't even check the car after), as well as 3rd party insurance to be safe. Some credit cards will cover 3rd party insurance if you use the card to rent the car, but I am pretty sure singapore cards do not offer that.

No worries lah, if you can make it - it would be good as not many Singaporeans have been up northwest much unless you happened to be in the US for a very long duration. If you can't, then no big loss anyway since you can get plenty of nice sceneries in California too (as DD suggested). :-)

As for the nice pics you've seen, don't be under pressured hor... Unless you're going to be awake before the sunrises near coast or nice places - you'll just have to make do with what you'll see. Wish you all the best in getting all the nice lights, blue skies and beautiful cloud formations when you take the pictures!

I guess you won't have time to view my albums (time to put them back into the storage again) hahah!

Just curious, it being the west coast and all, how are the sunrises over there?

YOu've got me... it should have been sunset... Ownz... :sweat:

Frankly, I don't think I have gotten up that early during my last roundabout in that area there... most of it taken during early morning and daytime... Too tired from driving around to wake up that early anyway. But the mist in the early morning is really beautiful... made it pretty much heavenly...

no no... wasn't trying to pinpoint a mistake... :embrass:
I'm sure in places with enough space (foreground) facing eastward (eg. around the SF bay area and so on), sunrise should be quite nice as well.
You obviously don't get the sun rising over the far far distant horizon... :)

Seriously, when travelling you don't get much choices of where to shoot for sunset/sunrise.. unless you already know that location beforehand and are prepared to camp there earlier... Plus, you're at the mercy of the weather... In my case, I was met with mist...luckily it is still a beautiful sight to behold...(very dreamy...) If you are a dweller of that state however, you've plenty of opportunity... but must be close to the sunrise/sunset area... it isn't simply a drive from Woodlands to Changi, mind you... Depending on where you stay, it can be a drive from Woodlands to central West Malaysia?

Speaking of Lakes, reminds of me of Lake Michigan.... You can't even see the OTHER side.... :sweat: And it was FREEZING cold even when the sun is shining brightly... of course this was during Feb...

I think I woke up early enough to see the sunrise when I was staying somewhere around Monterey... even though I couldn't see the 'egg yolk', the sky was.... wow...

By the side of the road dangerously close to the edge... see what I mean about the mist? Love it...

No need to travel too far to see any interesting rocks formations... they are all over the coastal areas... Each area with a different characteristics...

A different area... probably worth waiting a sunset for... Note... not a human in sight...
