Left with Lisa early morning from LA. I didn't even have any coffee before I left and was quite proud of myself for temporarily breaking away from my chemical dependency. The idea to visit Sequoia National Park was a spur of the moment type thing. We both wanted to get out of L.A. for a bit and see…

My plan for the Labor Day weekend as of mid-July was to go to the Hollywood Bowl for the John Williams: A Hollywood Legend performance on August 30th with my brother, my soon-to-be sister-in-law, and 4 of their friends.  Since my dad was playing a golf tournament in the Palm Springs area, my m…

I think I've seriously lost my motivation at work.. because I've been TOTALLY looking forward to my weekends away and thinking less and less about how they might impact my work. I don't mean to have a poor work ethic, its just that the opportunities have stopped and the workload has increased and t…

Tomorrow I'm flying back into Mexico.  I don't know for how long, and I don't know where I'll be next. Puerto Vallarta first.

My parents had never been to Russia, and as children of the Cold War, they naturally had several pre-conceived notions about the country that made them a bit hesitant when I told them I'd be studying there for the summer.  So, in an attempt to become well-informed global citizens, they suggest…

In the summer of 1991 my baby, Jessica, was 2 1/2 years old. My older daughter, Jolene, was almost 7. Margo and I figured as we did not take a vacation the prior year, and my best friend was living in San Diego, so why not go to Southern California this year? We could take the kids to Disneyland, s…

Every Memorial Day weekend is the Watsonville fly-in and air show where we park the airplane. So we usually go away if we don't go to the air show. The air show is actually quite an event, with pilots from all over flying in, and all sorts of airplanes will be available for viewing.Since there is t…

The drive from San Francisco to LA can be done in a day but taking the coastal route is spectacular. Allow at least two days for the drive as not only is the coastal scenery to die for but the little iconic towns along take time to investigate and enjoy. Towns like Santa Cruz, Monteray, Morro Bay, …

Los Angeles often have contradictory view on nature. Griffith Park is probably one of the best testimony to LA's nature. A little patch of green in the middle of concrete available to anyone with a car. Big came down to LA to get a taste of Ramen and vnese sandwiches. We went out for some ramen a…

I think my dad and I drove around the whole city. We haven't done anything special in downtown Los Angeles those days. So there isn't much to say!

But I don’t have to tell you guys, right?

Shallowest place on earth but still an experience of a lifetime!

Downtown LA in a couple of days, all on foot! :D

07.06.23 Los AngelesA late, late start and a 20 mile drive from Pasadena to central LA got us to Roxana’s apartment near Inglewood at lunch hour.  She had prepared a Romanian feast that included tripe soup, crusty bread, feta cheese, cured meats, tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes, a delicious…

  is his stomach. I forgot which culture said it.  I think the key to a good life is the company during the meal. The LA core crew went to all of these places and cook a lot of things for the last 2-3 weeks. There was a lot more food than present it here but I was less camer…
