Some memories from this weekend— Ate Chick-fil-A and Schlotzsky’s for the first time. King: (when he first picked me up from the airport) That building there is the…uh, forgot the name of the bank. Wait, is that even a bank? (He was pointing out the Frost Bank to me). I just LOVED Stina’s surprised face…

I’m glad to be home, but I sure miss traveling already. Watching this video doesn’t quite help with it either…it’s so amazing.

Not exactly like that song, but I flew in, had dinner, slept, and will leave for the orphanage in about 2 hours. I haven’t even bust out my camera, yet. What is this world coming to?

Phuket, Thailand. Thailand is still definitely a scooter culture. Look at the row of them in the background. Oh, and I love how the man is the only one with a helmet. What’s up with that?

I’m up typing this now because I can’t sleep. I think jet lag is settling in. I haven’t even stayed at home yet, because apparently there was a gas leak so they had to turn off the gas until Tuesday. Which means I have no hot water nor can I use the dryer. So I’ve…

Storming Seattle and Geek Gift Ideas

Both literally and figuratively. Apparently there's been strong winds and of course, rain–knocking out power in much of the area. I was talking to my friend Jenny today and she said she had the day off because her company didn't have power. Flights are delayed. My friend Chuphoria was supposed to go up late night…

Look what I get to take for the next 8 days. My left arm also hurts from my 2nd and final Hep A shot. The people at the travel clinic also asked if I wanted pills just in case I get traveler’s diarrhea. Yeah, whatever. My cantonese stomach can handle anything. On a side note,…

Update (2/16/06): My friend in BJ said he was able to get on to the AOL site, so it seems that they’re AOK! For my LA trip last week, I rented a car from SFO. While picking up the rental car, the guy directed me to this bright red car (economy size, of course). He…

Winter travel tidbit–packing for Vegas is much different than packing for New York or Tahoe. I love not having to pack towels, sleeping bags, or pillows. Man, I have to be up in about 3 hours. I’ll be off to Vegas for a few days. I’ll be back here for work next week, then I’m…

Weekend of Buffalo

On Saturday, I biked through Golden Gate Park and stopped by for the first time to see the American Bison there. Then on Sunday, I had dinner at Fuddrucker’s where I was feeling extremely brave and tried the Buffalo burger for the first time. It smelled funky, but it tasted like a regular burger since…

REUNIONIZE!!! Is that a real word? But that’s what I did this past weekend. Woohoo! Man, I feel like I’ve been eating out a lot. Well, I guess I have been since I haven’t been home in a few days. Over the weekend, I realized how much I love eating. Mmm… Look what I’ve found:…

My new favorite TV channel: The Travel Channel. I just watched a show called “Ultimate Hotel Services.” I want to work for them and host a show or two. My new deck came in yesterday. It’s not fully installed just yet (because I’m a girl and I don’t know how to install car stereos), but…
