Napa Day 1

I messed up – didn’t bring the CF card reader to Napa from San Jose.  So no pictures till Sunday. I’ll just give a brief snipet of what we did today. Ate breakfast with Mom, Dad, Sarah and George.  Yummy pancakes that I made.  Then we drove to Fairfield where…

Asia Day 10 – Living the Day Twice

So today (Thursday June 30th), at exactly the time it is now (4:45pm), but 16 hours ago – we were in Tokyo boarding a plane for the US.  How odd it is to live the same day twice.  Does that mean we did some time travel?  I think so! Day started…

Asia Day 9 – Missing Disney

And what really sucks is that I have no Annual Pass right now which means no Disney for me till our November trip to Florida.  Tough life right? Woke up later this morning which was nice – had breakfast at St. Marcs – chocolate gooey croissant, yum.  Our day at…

The Japanese YEN is a big bill

Taking a 2nd look at the currency that we got to take with us, I can’t imagine how big the Japanese wallets are?  These bills are fat!  They are about 50% taller than US Dollars and will not fit in my wallet unless I fold them into smaller portions.  They…

Hong Kong Dollars are so colorful

After a short wait in line at my local Citibank branch, I was able to count my crisp new Hong Kong dollar bills.  They are so colorful and vibrant in their new state.  Why is the US dollar not so colorful?  Why must we have such boring money?  “The greenback”…

Courtyard Tokyo Ginza Hotel

Our second stay on our Asia Honeymoon mini-moon trip will be at the Courtyard Tokyo Ginza Hotel.  It is a no frills business hotel with style and the most important thing, location, location, location. In the heart of downtown Tokyo this Marriott is only steps from one of the many subway…

Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel

The pool at the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott is amazing!  You can always judge a hotels attention to style by how it’s pool is designed.  When Jenn and I go for a relaxing weekend the pool is our main factor.  Does it have a bar?  Is it indoors in cold…

Arizona: JW Marriott, Spa, and WICKED!

Okay, so I’m a loser who didn’t post while we were there due to my not having the equipment to transfer photos, and I’m an even bigger loser that now when I could have the photos on the computer, I don’t, so I am using Marriott’s pictures.  I will add…

Day 0 – Nous sommes arrivés à Paris… finalement

Oh my goodness, what a weekend.  I just have to document the whole thing regardless of the fact that I’ve been too aggravated and sleep deprived to take a decent photo yet. It all started Saturday (PST) at about 8am.  We ate our breakfast, then received an alert from a…

Snowing in Paris

It is snowing in Paris.  I am so excited!  Our Christmas trip turned romantic honeymoon is looking to be a cold one.  We have packed most of our warm things already and are looking for additional room and weight to bring the heavy winter clothes.  While layering works for upper…
