To America and Back...

I took a 10 day vacation, 11 if you count flying time and crossing of the international dateline, etc.

First stop was SoCal to visit my dear sister and her husband. Pretty mellow, went to the beach, shopped a heck of alot (but alas not enough), did my taxes, visited the Citi financial advisor, and saw Kawakkas and baby P. Overall a relaxing time in SoCal. Good times. Got my new T2010 laptop too.

Next stop was SF, tom was kind enough to pick me up at OAK and not make me wait over an hour like how he made Kenken wait last time. Went to eat noodles because I had a last minute opening to see the dentist @ 4pm. I realized how bad traffic has gotten in the area.. sheesh. Anyways did more shopping and got home around 9pm. Visited some of my old coworkers, but really didn't have time to look everyone up. Barely had time.. but I did see Chuck and the O-gang, which is always nice.

The finale was Vegas! The same gang from last year, the O-boyz + the supermodel and her sister were all present. A few new faces like Tom, Kenken, Veritas-P, supermodel's 21yo bro, and some folks from Chicago joined us so it was a huge crowd. Its nice to just hang at the pool, in the cabana, etc and relax, eat, drink, have fun, etc. The gang almost got into a brawl because the supermodel/vixen was teasing some irishmen and our hulkster pal KRS1 was a bit drunk and overprotective. Took 4 of us to hold that bastard back, but in retrospect we should have let him kill those stupid irishmen. Punk asses. Shoulda shown him asian power, and the asian way of fighting which is to gang attack rather than this 1-on-1 bullshit.

Anyways what really happened?

1. Had a 40min craps roll. Netted like $1300 on that run.
2. Total net from gambling was well within budget (loss).
3. Tom had alot of glitter on his face after the gents club.
4. Almost got into a brawl.
5. Saw some skank bachelorettes get wild on our 21yo pal.
6. Did alot of chilling and laughing.
7. Bought 2 suits, 2 shoes, 1 shirt, 4 ties, 2 cuffs, 4 underwear, 6 socks, shorts, cap, t-shirt, dress 2 polo dress shirts, 2 belts, a duffel bag, soap.
8. Should have also bought, dress shoes, puma socks, puma shoes, ipod, backpack, ....

No complaints about life. I'm headed to Vietnam on Friday. Its called BACK TO BACK vacations. Thats my new thing, B-2-B. Hit it hard.
