Back in HK

Back in Hong Kong after flying for more than 17 hours. Jetlag is not hitting me yet or rather, I'm trying to keep it at bay but Babe is snoring away. Wonder how will he be sleeping tonight. This post is basically pics of us on our vacation. Had a really great time catching up with family and Eve. And importantly, got to spend time with Babe. Quality time, uninterrupted by his work.

Disneyland

I've a thing for Disneyland. A huge thing. We were there 6 years ago for our honeymoon and now...we're revisiting again. Never really expect to go back to Disneyland so soon.



Love this pic. Babe is actually smiling. He's not very good with taking pics.




Oh yes, another of my favourite pic. This is in front of 'A Small World'. Look at the lights. So magical.

Beautiful Christmas Tree in Toonland.


Universal Studios






Shrek! Love this movie. Falling in love with someone ugly and looking beyond his looks. Then bride turns ugly. Bride gives up looks and then, they live happily ever after!



The Simpsons Ride. What fun! Worth the visit to Universal Studios.





The Grinch that stole Christmas along with Sponge Bob.



Grand Canyon


This was taken at the Hoover Dam. Some dam that was built for some reason. Sorry, had to admit that I wasn't listening to the bus driver. Was sleeping. Had to wake up early to catch flight to Vegas and then had to wake up early again to catch bus to Grand Canyon. All these waking up....made me really sleepy!




Finally, the Grand Canyon. This is one place that I really wanted to see before I die. Wait, sorry, this is the second place. The first place is Isreal.




When I was at the Grand Canyon, I just stood in awe admiring God's creation. It is so so beautiful that it's beyond explaining the beauty of it all. You have to be there to take it all in. Well, Babe is not so much into the beauty of it, but am still glad that he was there to share the moment with me.


Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas! Always an interesting place to visit. Had to leave when time was up. Was glad to leave. Could almost hear the slot machines calling out to me!




Wanted some much to watch Bette Midler but didn't have time. It was New Year's Eve and Vegas was a little crazy. Maybe, someday. we'll head back. But....no kids please. Don't think it's a good place to bring kids.


Got to spend time with Eve was definitely a highlight of our trip. Hanging out with her its almost like I've not left San Diego. Really glad that she's doing well and can't wait to see her again!



Ending the year with a wonderful trip is just absolutely great! Is there any wishes for the new year? Well, yes, wishing for a healthy baby for Joanne. Wonderful weddings for 3 of my engaged friends and a wonderful marriage ahead for them. Safe travels for Babe who is probably travelling more. And nothing else. The past year had been great. God had and will always be good. And am eternally thankful to Him. So folks, have a great year!
