Travel – Foreign

Trip to San Diego
Aviva and I decided to drive to San Diego on July 24 and spend three nights there. It was Aviva’s first time in San Diego. We stayed at the Best Western Plus Bayside Inn. After checking in, we walked to Little Italy and had a good dinner at Buon Appetito. The meal was really good. […]

California Science Center
My company, DIRECTV, rented the California Science Center for the night – we’d never been there before so this was a great chance for Aviva and I to check it out. This is where the space shuttle Endeavor ended up; it’s in a huge hanger-like structure with a lot of related material surrounding it. It’s […]

Anime Expo and other recent stuff
A lot has happened over the last month; I was promoted at work to Director and have about half of DIRECTV’s CRM systems (and now that I’ve counted a heck of a lot of folks). My son came to visit on my birthday – we spent two days at Anime Expo, it was amazing – […]

Koreatown
Saturday we decided to drive to Koreatown – we’d seen Anthony Bourdain’s latest CNN show and wanted to check some of the places out. We hit two of the malls, then had dinner at a place Bourdain recommended, Restaurant Dong Il Jang. We loved dinner – the food was really good and there was just […]

Santa Monica photos
We decided to go to Santa Monica to walk around and have dinner at Monsoon. The big news is that Aviva let me take her picture and post a couple – she’s lost 30 pounds and looks great! Of course, here are some pics:

Photos on Sawtelle
Sawtelle in Los Angeles is a cool street – just north of the 10 is a section that has roots in the Japanese community. Aviva and I like to go there to shop and get dinner. So here are some pics I took yesterday….

A Malibu Beach (and a video of a seal)
We decided to take my mother-in-law, Lil, and one of my brothers-in-law, Brian, to a beach in Malibu (Beasti Beach to be specific). We spread the blanket and Lil and Brian laid down. Aviva and I strolled the beach. We came upon some guys looking at something in the rocks – turned out it was […]

A few photos around LA
I’ve been taking a few pictures around LA the last three weeks – I finally had time to clean them up in Photoshop; work has been really busy with year end financials, but I’ve finally gotten all that cleaned up, hopefully I’ll have more time to take pictures, work on music, and blog. So here […]

Photos from our trip to Palm Desert
We drove out to Palm Desert last week to visit with Aviva’s mom and her brother and family. We took the dogs – our dog sitter couldn’t watch our dogs at the last minute. That’s not bad – we’ve brought them before, we get a room that allows pets at the Best Western and use […]
