Mini-moons instead of one big honeymoon
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”…
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…
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…
I am getting excited, we only have 2 weeks until Jenn and I are on our way to Hong Kong and then Tokyo. For those who do not know, Jenn and I are going to all 5 Disneyland parks in 1 year. We began our trip with Disneyland in Paris…
So fun today was! We met up with Jessie, Rick, Zach and Michah for lunch before heading into Coronado to stay where else? Marriott! After spending some time lounging at the pool, I shot a wedding and then came back to have what I think was the most amazing bath…
I just heard that the radiation levels in Japan are falling for the first time since the catastrophe! So I won’t need by Gieger counter after all. If anyone has one though, please let me know. I would love to check my radiation levels when i get home. The food…
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…
Aside from an incredible amount of takiing both before and after our flight, the flight went well and we didn’t get diverted! woo hoo! Home now and got all clean in what now seems to be a gigantic shower. Cozying up in bed watching Friends (in English) and eating Taco…
Today was nice finish to our vacation. Didn’t do much in the morning but went out for a nice lunch at Village Ronsard and and excellent dinner at the Odeon Cafe. Bottle of wine, grilled salmon for Jeff, Penne with Salmon and dil sauce for me, and cafe creme for…
So Midnight at the Eiffel Tower was a big bummer. They did nothing! Well, nothing apart from what they do every night, every hour, a glittering of lights we saw 3 times while waiting for the big moment. There were no fireworks anywhere inside the main part of Paris. Tourists,…
Just popped the champagne! Yeah it’s only 5:30 but we were thirsty. Couldn’t resist posting a few photos.
Disneyland was a blast! And amazingly being on our feet all day didn’t make us too sleepy till the end: perhaps because we climbed maybe a 100thof the stairs we are accustomed to here in Paris. The day was jam packed with yummy snacks, walking all over the park, and…
Had a fabulous time walking the Champs and “window shopping” at all the booths, not to mention the eating. I love eating in Paris. First we had a polish sausage and frites, then onto barbe-a-papa (cotton candy) for Jeff and what else but a Nutella crepe for me (see the…
Our first trip out of the city center so far, we went to Versailles today via RER. Just a 40 minute ride to this chateau of Louis XIV as well as the domain of Marie Antoinette. There is a ton of snow on the ground in this part of town,…
Jeff and I got all dolled up for dinner at 58, the restaurant on the first level of the Eiffel Tower. We enjoyed a glass of champagne, a bottle wine, tiger prawns, chestnut soup, ginea fowl, veal, baba with rum and profiterol with chocolate, as well as a coffee night cap. …
