You're about to begin a journey with me. My 2nd US trip in 2008. I am taking a few days off to visit family and friend before my conference in Monterey Bay that begins next week. That only means one thing-- EAT!!
Hello business class! hehe... Lucky me, I was the lucky winner for the upgrade coupon =) This is my first time with this new Cathay Pacific buz class interior with my own bed. However, I didn't sleep much on the plane. I spent my time watching 5 movies! hehe... yeah, get my money worth. Cloverfield, 27 dresses, Leon & Kelly's movie, The Spiderwick Chronicles, & Definitely, Maybe.
A snapshot of LA right before I land, and I have the song "This this LA~ all I wanna do is have a little fun before I die~" in my head! Please play this song when you read if you have it on your PC. =)
In-N-out burger!!! The first thing I wented after my arrival. Don't you wish there's one in HK?!
Then I went to get Mallow's favorite snacks, wine, steaks & ribs at Costco. Yup! We're staying home for BBQ dinner tonite & Anson is coming to mom's after work. yay~ 
The next day, I went to Denny's with mom for breakfast! Yummy American breakfast that I long craved for! hehe...
What's next?? SHOPPING!! Mom lives 15mins away from the Desert Hill Outlet! wooohooo~ Shop 'til we drop! heh
Then we had Vietnamese Pho for lunch!!! I LOVE Pho!!!! The vietmanese Pho in HK is not quite the same. The beef broth is DTF!
Then we went to Pasadena to have dinner with couson Tim. He brought us to an awesome Mexican restaurant with live music and good food. Mexican food is the next thing that I craved after Denny's and Vietnamese Pho. =)
They were sing a song for Anson. To congratulate him for getting his new job! Cheers~
Cousin, bro & wife, & I went to see The Hulk after dinner. It's not as good as Iron Man, but I still enjoyed it. I haven't see a movie in such a big movie theatre in a long time. Theatres in HK are just too small =)
Today. I was just chilling and Anson's. Got a nice tan by the pool and kept pouring down California wine. LOL!
Stay tuned for 回鄉探親 part II!
