Bangkok!!

Sawadee ka.
The start of our trip on Singapore Airlines.
I'm on a trip in Asia with my cousins Emma, Richelle, Tina, and her boyfriend Kevin. We were on a long 20+ hour flight including lay overs in Tokyo and Singapore. Needless to say, despite Singapore Airlines' amazing customer service and attentiveness, we were tired and anxious to start our adventure.
A Musical toilet in Tokyo complete with a bidet.
Our first stop is Bangkok which we added to our initial Groupon deal. And we're glad that we did. We are staying at the Pullman Hotel G in downtown Bangkok. The view of the city is amazing, the hotel is nice, clean and trendy, and the people here are so nice!
My first Tom Ka Gai in Thailand.
Our guide for tomorrow's set tour, Lee, picked us up at the airport and decided to stay with us for the day today as well. Within just a few hours in Bangkok we've already gotten personally tailored suits and shopped at MBK which is a huge eight-story mall. I had my first (yes I plan to have many more) Tom Kha Gai and Pad See Ew. We took the train back to the hotel and we are now getting ready for what will be an interesting evening..
Our view. It's a bit gloomy but beautiful. (Almost 5pm here.)
I hope I will have the opportunity to continue to update. :)

Spring Training

My little family went on vacation this past weekend. Nacho visited his friends at Petsmart and Niner and I went to our third Spring Training in Phoenix. Our first game on Saturday was against the Indians at Goodyear Ballpark. There was a lot of action near the end when the Indians caught up and tied the game. There was a Mister Softee soft serve truck and Niner tried a Guinness Blondie at the beer cart. That is a nice ballpark and we had a cute time. I even got Ethier's autograph on our Cactus League ball.    We had time for a nice hike and dinner after the game. Niner introduced me to Native American fry bread which was delicious. Sunday we started off with a nice brunch at Province downtown. The game was at the Dodgers' (and white Sox) Camelback Ranch. It was a hot, sunny day, but fun nevertheless. It was lovely to get away for the weekend and we did so much! Can't wait for baseball season to start! We got a mini season plan t...

Memorial Day

At the Memorial Day Dodgers game with my love to end a lovely calm weekend. Thanks to those who have served and sacrificed for us, especially my Niner. <3

Connecticut!

It's been awhile! We moved to Connecticut so Niner can go to grad school! We've been here for almost 2 months.  So far it's snowed on us four times. Those Nor-Easters were apparently bad this year and lasted until March and April which is not typical. Now it's just raining a lot. We went to one hike at a cool park just down the street from our tiny apartment. There are cherry blossoms everywhere and we found a cute park in New Haven where they were especially abundant. Of course my allergies are acting up. We went to Montreal last week for 3 days which I hope to post about soon. Nacho has been sick since our trip and his stay at the pet hotel. We're in the process of nursing him and his sensitive belly back to normal.  So far it's been different. Mostly we've been applying for jobs. Not much luck yet. As Niner put it, they don't know how awesome we are. The lady who approved us for our apartment at least thought we were great enough to give us a un...
