Peak travel season

John and I have officially entered our peak travel season. We have lots of trips/travel plans for the upcoming several months.
To start off, we are taking a road trip to San Francisco tomorrow! It will be my birthday weekend too, so it’s a perfect time to visit my favorite U.S. city.
Later on in the month, [...]

Skiing at Mt. Charleston

One thing that I neglected to write about last winter was my ski trips. I love to ski and am always looking forward to the winter to glide down from snowcapped mountain peaks. Last winter, not only did I make a record-breaking 7 ski trips, I also influenced John enough that he not only tried [...]

Arlington, Texas

Nope, I didn’t go sky diving…
But yes, I was flying in the sky, comfortably seated in a perfectly fine plane.
Over the past weekend, I was in Arlington, Texas, for a convention with John.
It was meetings after meetings for three days with about two hundred intelligent, successful, much older people.
We didn’t even go outside the hotel [...]

Hello 2009!

2008 has to be one of the busiest years for everyone. So much happened in 2008 around the world. I hope it all give us a reason to look forward to the possibilities in 2009.
For two years in a row, I count down to the New Year with John on Las Vegas strip. Just as previous years, [...]

Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was good at the end, but not without drama, or excitment I should say.
In the afternoon on Christmas Eve, John informed me that he wasn’t able to come back to Los Angeles due to some miscalculations. So, I decided to go join him in Las Vegas instead, because I did not want [...]

Zion National Park — Day 3 (finale)

Honestly, I felt a little sad to bid goodbye to the campground, because I really liked it a lot. It felt a little sad to turn what we called home for two days back to a patch of flat dirt, and it also felt lonely to desert the firepit and the picnic table too. But, [...]

Zion National Park — Day 2

I might be smilling in this picture, but in actuality I was somewhat cranky because I didn’t get any sleep the night before. Strong wind kept me up all night long, and it was still quite strong when we took this picture. Before we left the campsite we carefully anchored our tent with our heavier [...]

Zion National Park — Day 1

Both John and I have been too busy for months. Not only did we feel physically drained, we also felt that a mental break was necessary. Therefore we wanted a trip to somewhere in nature. Originally, our choices were between Yosemite National Park and Zion National Park. During this time of the year, I think [...]

Zion National Park, here I come!

I woke up very, very happy today, because I am flying out to Las Vegas to meet with John this evening, then we’ll go camping in Zion National Park for the weekend!
Both of us have been dying for a getaway trip, and what can beat a weekend out in the nature? Supposedly, during this time [...]

Jenny’s bachelorette party

My friend Jenny is getting married in two weeks. After that, the newly-wed will move to Wyoming, where they both will start their new jobs.
We used to spend a lot of time together, but after her wedding, I obviously won’t be seeing her, unless during her future bi-yearly trips to California she happens to have [...]
