[Nov 6, 2010 – Indianapolis, IN, US] Okay, I flew in for Charissa and Kevin’s wedding. Took over 300 pictures and “narrowed” it down to 100-ish of the best shots. Even with the best of the bunch, some turned out to be fuzzy and had no other shots, so I loaded the best of the fuzzy ones. The reception was fun, and I briefly went to the post-reception at the hotel and then I zonked out early 🙁 But at least I got a few pictures there too…
[Oct 14-17, 2010 – Deerfield Beach, FL, US] Okay, so I had Yohi reunion withdrawals so I contacted Pati in Boca Raton, FL. I found her on Facebook a while back and we friended each other and had FaceBook posts and but that was about it for a while now. (She couldn’t make it to the reunion due to her surgery on her arm. I knew from band Freshman year at YoHi. I remember her from Sullivan’s Middle School too.) Anyway, long story short, I said I wanted to visit and she said sure, so we had lunch on Saturday at the Embassy Suites in Deerfield Beach. We talked for three hours. Wow, that was a ton of catching up to do.
[Oct 9, 2010 – Las Vegas, NV, US] Well, it’s been 35-36 years (!!!) since I saw anyone from YoHi (previously Yokohama High School, when I went it moved and was Yokosuka High School. Both were “Yo” so the nickname didn’t have to change. The official name of the school is the Nile C. Kinnick High School, US Navy Base in Japan.)
I didn’t know who half the people were and I only vaguely knew someone as a person I passed in the hallway or something. Others, I knew a tad bit more; but it was all kinda fuzzy. We all went to the yearbooks people brought and looked up people. Then it was oh yeah, I know you. Or I saw you in… etc. So I took bunch of pictures from the yearbook and posted a bunch of the people I knew…
[Sep30-Oct03, 2010 – Washington DC, US] So I have been flying into Washington DC for a while but haven’t got around to see the sights, so I asked one of my friends who lives in Maryland to go with. Well, Carrie had previous plans. Crud. So long-story-short, Jessica said she wanted to go, so I flew her in for the weekend. We went to the Air and Space Museum, and started from the Capitol and walked the Mall to the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, then to George Mason and finally Jefferson Memorial.
[Sep 16-19, 2010 – Miami, FL, Us] Going to the Conrad Hilton in Miami… Well, the new tram in D concourse (American Airlines) is now open. Cool – but if you do go to MIA, in D concourse, only take the tram if it is 2 or more stops – otherwise, it makes no sense to take the tram (other than just doing it for fun :). As for the Conrad Hilton in Miami – waaaay over rated. It should just be a “Hilton” – it doesn’t deserve to be classified as a “Conrad” Hilton… As for the view, there is a huge apartment/pad/condo complex in the way of the view so it way really nothing special at all…
