Who have stuffed themselves on Christmas? I have, guilty as charged! We basically did nothing at home but prepared ourselves to go to church in the morning then to my sister for lunch and sister-in-law for dinner. And we couldn’t be any busier. I thought it would be easier but it was even harder, dragging …
I guess this week is the most exciting as people are rushing and preparing for the coming festivities. Be it a huge gathering with families and friends who are near and dear or a simple quiet moment looking forward to more sleeping in, I still consider this time to be my most anticipated time of …
Apart from New York the city that I dreamed to visit the most was Los Angeles. So just like NYC we stayed here the longest, 5 nights to be exact. But when we hit LA, I was the only one who had the energy left to explore and see what the city could offer. Though we …
Finally, we got to the end of our USA tour and by this time my boys (hubby and 3 kids) were already drained and just wanted to go home. But I was still kicking my heels everyday to go out and tick off the places I wanted to see in Los Angeles. First day in LA …
Out of all the cities that I’ve visited in the US, it’s San Francisco that surprised me the most. Maybe because I didn’t have expectation at all. We got there from Vegas at noontime where our hotel room was not even ready for us. We stayed near Union Square so our activities were centred in …

We finished shopping at the Fashion Show mall and were heading back to the Tropicana Hotel where we were staying. I told my oldest son to go with me to The Strip at …
Waking up in one of the most beautiful places on earth was extraordinary. I took these sunrise shots on our last day at Embassy Suites because we had to wake up early to catch our noontime flight in Buffalo airport. If the flight was any later I wouldn’t have caught a glimpse of it. This was …
How is this for a view in your room? I would certainly do it again if given a chance. After 5 nights in New York, we flew from JFK to Buffalo airport and from there we had a shuttle ride straight to our hotel. We stayed in Embassy Suites by Hilton with a full view of …
On our second day in NYC, we were still crabby from the long flights and woke up even more late than the first day. We missed breakfast at Sheraton Club Lounge and decided to have a simple breakky at Pret A Manger next door that serves organic coffee and natural food. I had 2 matcha latte on …
Months before flying over to New York, I did a research what are the top places to see in the city. I made sure my 4 full days would not go to waste and I would go home happy and contented 🙂 I had my outfits ready for it, footwear and bags for sure. My family of …
