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, [...]
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. We had bought tickets a couple of months before we departed from San Diego International Airport on July 10th. Although Cabos is technically on the ocean, it is a Mexican desert climate, [...]

Suzhou-Wuxi
March 16, 2018 Friday After day 4 not being a productive day, today we had many places to visit. We started the day in Suzhou, known for their exquisite canals, gardens, bridges and more.

北京到上海 (day 4)
March 15, 2018 Beijing to Shanghai For the last day in Beijing, we headed out to the Temple of Heaven. This temple was used by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to honor the gods of harvests. It is a beautiful sight and right outside you will find the locals gambling and exercising. [...]
Beijing, China (day 3)
March 14, 2018 Getting settled to a different time zone is really challenging, especially when it's 15 hours ahead. Thankfully, the plane ride and a whole day of walking really helped me fall asleep right away. Today was one of my favorite days because we did many interesting things. The first thing we did in [...]
