Paris I
March 13, 2019 Bonjour belle ville With hopes to one day be back, 2019 was the year it finally happened. On March 11th we departed from LAX to CDG. Paris was the start of this wonderful 16 day Euro trip. Sadly, in each city, we didn't spend as much time as I hoped. In Paris, we [...]
New York City
After 7 years, I finally had the chance to go back to New York City. I booked our plane tickets for only four days due to different work schedules; October 1-4. I already knew that, technically, three days was not going to be enough to get to see everything since Manhattan island is enormous. But, [...]
Catalina Island
August 01, 2018 Wednesday Missing our 9 a.m. departure was a huge set back, but at the end it all worked out. Since the next boat out to Catalina Island wasn't until 12:30 p.m., I headed out to a coffee shop a couple of blocks from the docks called Day Dream Surf Shop. Not only [...]
Cabo San Lucas
For the first trip of the summer, we headed out to Baja California for a mini family vacation to Cabo San Lucas.

Upper Antelope Canyon
May 31, 2018 Thursday After a total of 8 hours on the road, we arrived in Page, Arizona. It's a small city with the Grand Canyon right at your doorstep. I booked the tour about a three weeks before the actual day. Tours are sold out months in advance so you have to constantly [...]
Hong Kong-Macau
March 21, 2018 Wednesday We have finally reached the last two days of the trip!! These two cities were by far my favorite. We arrived in Hong Kong after a three-hour flight from Shanghai. The weather was finally warmer and there was so much green. I was astounded by the city, nothing like the [...]
Shanghai
March 18, 2018 Sunday After a 2.5 hour drive from Hangzhou, we arrived in Shanghai. Since it was almost dark out when we arrived we went on a river night cruise. Here we got to see the lit up downtown skyline of Shanghai from the river. It was one of my favorite things on [...]
Wuxi-Hangzhou
March 17, 2018 Saturday The morning in Wuxi started with a visit to Lake Taihu. We had an hour to explore the enormous park and even got the chance to join a local in his morning Tai Chi exercise. Right after, we headed out the pearl farm. Here we got to see how the [...]
