Summary of my vacation....

I can't believe that I've been home for couple of days already and I still haven't unpack my suitcase yet....I started blogging on my vacation, but then some days, I got sooo tired or didn't have internet connection that I forgot about it.

So, here's a summary of what happen....

3/13 - 3/18 : San Diego, went to the Seal Tour with Daniel, run errands for Phyllis and them to prepare for the show, Went to eat at Lou & Micky's for our Steak Night (very comparable to Vick & Anthony's here in Houston), SeaWorld, USS Midway, Walk around Seaport Village. Stay at Grand Hyatt Manchester in Downtown San Diego. Awesome view of the USS Midway and San Diego Bay.

3/19 : Arrive at Laughlin, NV around 2am. Left San Diego around 4 hours later than what we had intend...On the way to Laughlin, we stop at Bartstow and watch TV in the car. I drove about 2 hours (last 2 hours). Hotel wasn't as nice, but then what did you expect, it was only $ 25.00. Even Daniel made a comment that the bed wasn't as high as the hotel in San Diego.

3/20 : Woke up for breakfast (barely made it for breakfast buffet), and then afterward, we sent to Grand Canyon. On the way to Grand Canyon, we came across a bunch of snow, so we stop at this rest area and play with snow and had a mini snow ball fight. It was sooo much fun. We finally got to Grand Canyon around 5:30pm. Went to one of the viewing area to see the awesome view of Grand Canyon. It was there that I had a slight accident. I tumble backward, while I was trying to take a picture, and end up hitting my head onto a rock, and scratch my left arm with a slew of scars. All the people around me were extremely worry. They wanted to make sure that I wasn't having headache, double vision or anything like that. Si Fu immediately help me massage my head, my neck to make sure that I was ok. So glad that she was around. We try to find the clinic on sites, but it was closed. So, we left and headed toward Flagstaff and Vegas. On the way, we stop for McD's and Hover Dam and finally got to Vegas around 2pm.

3/21 : Woke up a little bit later, and went to Chinatown for some chinese bbq rice box for lunch. It was extremely yummy. And started our route to LA. On the way, we stop at the outlet mall for a slight detour and shop. We finally got to LA, Kyoto Grand Hotel and check in around 7pm. The hotel was very nice, but unfortunately, it wasn't a connecting room. After settle in, we drove to eat in Japantown and find a place for some nice sashimi and ramen. We bought some snacks for Heidi, since she was studying back at the hotel. We had a very chill and relax night after nights of getting to the hotel late.

3/22 - 3/23 : We went to Universal Studios, Disney Land & California Adventure. We had a blast at those places. Stay till closing times till we leave each night. We saw an awesome Aladdin Broadway show, saw some disney characters, went on some cool 4D rides. Night before last, we stay at Disney till at least 1:30am. Went to Crystal Cathedral (very famous church)for services.

3/24 : Check out the hotel, and I got to met up with Vivian and Bryan for lunch in Chinatown. Aftward, we wanted to buy more snacks, but to my disappointment, it was closed on Monday. So we went to this Marukai and got some more food and the Curry Pork. Finally got back to Houston at 11:30pm.

It was a very memorable trip, went to plenty of places, and took about 250 or more of pictures.

Post more videos and pictures later...

Day 2 & 3.....Legoland

Since I wasn't able to finish my day's activities yesterday, I"ll finish it here...

The Seal Tour was fun for Daniel, and learning a lot of history about San Diego. Afterward, I plan on driving to Balboa Park and going to the Science Center, but by the time that we got there, it was close to 4pm and Daniel wasn't sleeping at all. So, I decide to not go there and keep going. I finally ended up in La Jolla and Daniel has about 1 hr nap time. We play games and went to grab dinner and then go home. We didn't have to go pick them up at the Convention Center, because they just took the shuttle home after they night receptions. We came home, and most of us crash early because all of them were very very tired.

Day 3 - Legoland. We got to Legoland from around 10:30 and didn't leave until 5:30pm. That's a long long time in Legoland. They have added some new cool stuff, and I went on a couple of rides (kids or not..). We had a lot of fun. Went to La Jolla for dinner (we had 2 meals..

Another long day...to to sleep...

Day 2 .....La Jolla, Seal Tour

1st day of TGA's show for Phyllis & them...Another day of activities with Daniel. This time, I had to take care of Daniel till at least 8pm b/c of their awards ceremony was tonight instead of breakfast meeting. I had to run some errands for them in the morning prior to us going and doing our own things. After dropping everything off, We went back and drop off our car and walk over to Seaport Village to get on the bus / boat.

Day 1 - San Diego

We finally arrived in LAX last night at around 8pm and waited for Phyllis and them to pick us up at the airport. Since i'll be doing some driving this weekend, we went back to the Rental Car place and add my name on it. Then we went to Monterey Park to eat dinner / late night snack. We finally left LAX close to midnight and started our drive to San Diego. We didn't get to San Diego and check into a very nice Grand Hyatt Manchester until 2:30am. Of course I couldn't just go to sleep even thought it was already 4:30am (Houston's Time). I finally went to sleep around 5ish...

This morning (Day 1), woke up at 9am and then went to WalMart for some last minute stuff and a brunch. Afterward, drop them back at the Convention Center and then I took Daniel for a walk in the Gaslamp Quarter. He got tired of walking, so we took the trolley to Old Town. There isn't much to do except for some shops here and there. Then Phyllis call and I had to go and pick her up and drop her off at UPS store. She was there for almost 2 hours. I spend about 1 hr or so driving around and finally find a place to park. Then afterward drop her back at the Convention Center and we decide to go back to the hotel and wait for them. The smart person that i was...I had deadbolt my own room, so I had to ask Front Desk to ask Security to open the door from Phyllis's room and go thru the connection room. They finally call me at 8:10pm and then we went to pick them up and went to eat dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Came back and help them with the Show stuff.

I had to cancel my dinner with Nora b/c of the uncertainty...and felt extremely bad. Hopefully, I'll get to see her before I leave San Diego.

Time to sleep..i'm getting sleepy...

On the way to San Diego....
