I traveled to Roatan alone for a dive trip. Hands down best trip ever!

    First thing I want to say is that I have lost track of the dates when I was in certain places so they are probably wrong in my journal.  This also helped contribute to me arriving a day late at my hotel in DC, which came as a surprise to me. They had cancelled my reserva…

On our last night in New York we went on a pub crawl and ending up staying out until 2 with an irish guy in an irish bar. This made it quite difficult to make our early train to DC but we made it despite our large bags on the subway. The trains were very nice and the seats big and comfy so I slepy…

One of my favorite chairs with the best view

The porky's (big sis and bro-in-law) and I took a Virgin America flight from Los Angeles to Washington, DC. It was the first time for me and my big sis to be in this State and my bro-in-law's last time to be there was when he was still a child. So all three of us were quite excited. We go…

Short roadtrip with friends to New York and the U.S. capitol city, Washington, D.C.

I have a fascination with small rodent-like mammals. Ferrets (of which I have 2), squirrels, and for this story…meerkats. You know that show on TV? Meerkat Manor? Well, I won’t watch it cuz I know that Flower dies but anyway… They are so cute! They stand up and look around and then I think of…

So Thursday night my mom and I drove down to DC from Pittsburgh during rush hour...so you can imagine how that was.  Everytime I put in the address for the Hotel into mapquest or into my GPS it wanted to take me through the City to get to the Turnpike...well, that wasn't an option.  So wi…

Amazing time driving all over the US. Never experienced such a freedom from reality before. America is beautiful from the open road....

For Halloween this year, me and a couple friends decided to go to Georgetown to get some drinks, and have some fun.  I had been to Halloween in Georgetown in 1998, and remember it being fun. None of us had plans, so we all jumped on it. A few weeks before, I took my friend Kristie to…

First trip to DC was great

Went to NYC for spring break. The city was awesome and I had the best time!

I had one more thing I wanted to see. It was so, so hot when I got back to DC. Someone told me washington DC used to be a swamp and I tell you I'd believe that in an instant! It was really, really humid so you were basically sweating just by standing somewhere! I made it to Arlington Cemetery and…

We had 2:00 tickets for the Capitol building.  Security measures have increased since the last time we visited (some point in the 90's).  We only visited a few chambers.  The tour began in the Rotunda.  I remembered the high dome but had forgotten the murals just beneath it that…

Okay, our next stop was Washington DC.  First day we were picked up by Tash’s cousin Sunil who let us stay with his family for the week.  Thank you, thank you, and thank you!  (he specifically asked for no thank yous...).  We were joined by Tash’s other cousin Murali and…
