It is about 9000+ miles from Quebec, Canada to Singapore, depending on the route you take. I thought perhaps if Air Force One headed west it might cross the International Date Line over Samoa- and as a first time "crosser" they might awaken POTUS to receive the Order of the Golden Dragon - to blend with the color of his hair. Then the temptation would be to cross the equator for the first time where he would be designated a "polywog". But Singapore is one degree twenty-one minutes north of the equator so it would take persuading the pilot to veer a bit to enable the celebration. But my plans were all for naught as Air Force One headed east from Canada
stopping at Crete for re-fueling thence Singapore.
However, there is always the possibility on the homeward flight so stay tuned.
