I didnt know much about San Diego but I did know that they have one of the best Zoo's in the world there. I remember reading a fellow travbuddy's blog about their trip to the Zoo and it inspired me to go there. Ana also wanted to go, I slept in a little late as I was still tired from Las Vegas. We …

Welp, I was all geared up for the 5K that I had flew from Vegas to complete.  Little did I know that a 10K was offered for this event and my Uncle said 'True dedication for the cause completes the 10K'.  Bring it on!  Race time: 9am.  My legs were holding up surprisingly well fo…

I hung out with my LA crew travbuddies  on Saturday  at the hollywood and highland, Jenn and  i did a little bit of shopping, stopped at the coffee bean for some refreshments. Girls told me they may go to Pasadena tonight to meet up with Joy and Rob for dancing, i said i'd like that …

This is a cool museum if you go with children because there you have hundreds of experiments, it´s very interesting, your children and yourself will learn a lot and will have a lot of fun, there are a lot of games. You can see how the tornados form, you can do a huge bubbles, you can also feel you…

What an incredible turn out....Thanks so much to Ekua for coordinating a great evening!  The Jade Bar was a cute little bar and very easy to spot.  Ekua had mentioned everyone would be meeting downstairs in the lounge and when we got down the stairs, the entire spot was FILLED w…

The good thing about working on power lines is that they kind of transect through everything.  If there's a desert and giant mountains in the way, you get to got to the desert and mountains! This one starts in the desert, and by the end of the first couple days, was climbing into the foothill…

Steph and Nick's Wedding in Napa Wine Country! First time Steph, Michelle (gemmi05), and I've hung out together in two years!!! :D These were my two closest friends when I moved to Vegas in 2004 and Steph moved to Arizona in 05 and I moved to Cali in 07. **UNDER CONSTRUCTION**

This snowboarding day started at 3:30am when I woke to start getting ready.  I slept at about 12:30am, yup just 3 hours of sleep, but that's okay I wasn't the designated driver for this day, so good thing it allowed me to take naps along the way up there and down back home.  My friend arr…

I recently traveled to San Diego, California. A beautiful city with great people, attractions and weather. Around every corner you can find a Mexican restaurant (which made my friends happy and me, another reason to have a made from scratch mojito!).

Here are a few pics from the Monrovia Travbuddy meet-up - I might need some help with some of the names from the far end of the table...Liz and Dan both got pictures that were about 73 percent better here and hereThis was pretty fun.  I drove up from San Diego to see some Travbuddy friends, so…

I've been meaning to write a reflective entry about my first trip to Africa for a bit now, since it's been just over 1 year ago. Everytime someone asks me about my trip, my eyes tend to glaze over and I find myself in this really happy place that I've somehow managed to carry back with me! I really…

I can't remember the last time I went to Disneyland, but one overwhelming memory about that last experience has been haunting my psyche ever since that fateful day: the terror I experienced during the Small World ride. I was just an young, impressionable child at the time, and for all I knew the go…

At the end of our hike, my friend and I decided it'd be a great idea to go into the water.  It was a sunny day, but we didn't realize that the water was melted icecaps and a frigid 30 degrees.  Still we went in, and it was so refreshing after sweating the entire day.  The next e…

Well, my time back to Vegas started with a road trip with Melanie from Los Angeles to Vegas.  We needed to get on the road early as I had a co-worker in town that day we needed to pick up and play tour guide with for a bit.  Telling her I will pick her up at 10am was met with an "ok, but …

I started the day late as i woke up at around 11am, probably due to the clubbing and the alcohol the night before (though i only had but 1 beer). So it must have been travel fatigue. Anyway, my friend very kindly brought me to Wine Country, Sonoma Valley specifically as he said it's not too commer…
