Newport Beach Travel Blogs

7/27/2007Well we are back and adjusting to life in America again, enjoying the benefits of being able to have ice cubes anytime we want, drink red wine, eat fattening cheese, sleep in our own bed on a pillow that doesn’t feel like an overstuffed sausage, eat a steak (yes Murli, we are thinking of…

  WOW after leaving the others to drive to Newport Beach. I was feeling very tired. I wanted to pass out in tracy’s car. I was being short with everybody. I guess I all that shooting hoops made me hungry. I have been eating so poorly this past weekend. Especially today!!!!!   …

After our crazy antics playing games, we all split up to caravan up to Newport Beach for a sunset pleasure cruise.  Mel, Sebastian, and I parked near the pier and Peninsula Park.  We had no idea where the others were and Mel was becoming a little heated.  We started to wander around …

After we left the Irvine Spectrum, it was off to Balboa/Newport Harbor to spend an hour cruising the harbor and checking out the beach.  Getting everyone to the right location was a bit of a challenge but eventually we got everyone coordinated and in one place!!! YEAH. We stopped by the s…

Note:  I busted my card reader so will upload photos later, sorry for the wordiness...OK well here we finally go!  After almost 18 months off of work with three major trips, I have been back at work for just over a year at Endeca and am feeling overdue for a bit of international wanderlus…

After dinner in Lima, we hopped in a cab to the airport and boarded our 1:00am flight home which was completely uneventful and unmemorable arriving in LA around 7:30 in the morning.  We had no issues going through customs (hmm maybe I should have brought some Coca Leaves for tea) but the guy a…

A long time ago before crystal cove discovered by the public, it was a really nice place. The beach was isolated. Noone was there. The wave was gentle. The sand was white,soft. Now, I returned to the beach. I found at least a 100 people on the beach. The seaweeds, mussles, lobsters, plants were thriving. It is no longer my secret hide away. But it is still nice to hang out.

Attended another TB meet up and this time was held in Hermosa Beach California;D

Just some summer fun photos...I keep wishing for one more day of beach fun...but I've finally come to the conclusion that my summer is over...can't wait 'til next year!

While I’m traveling south to make a visit with my brother in Escondido I also took the time to stop and visit with another of the fine couples I have met here on TravBuddy.  Larry and this wife Cindy (lrecht) met us at a nice shop in Newport Beach.  Again a Coffee Shop.  It so nice…

Ashley, (ndynamic) had a birthday on Aug 20th and I looked at his profile photo and thought, I could give him a gift by changing his shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope he is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a phot…

Shopping and exploring at Fashion Island!

This is my hometown, thought it would be fun to show a bit of The City of Angeles.

It was a hot two days in the sun. I enjoyed myself with good friends, and a park full of other music fans from far and wide.

Gotta love California!! I try to drive out to Cali as much as possible! Especially trips to the beach! :]
