Yesterday was one eventful day and night. First off we had a couple of big college games that were playing, UCLA vs. USC being one of them. So I met up with a few friends down at Blue Light in the Marina to hopefully watch an upset, but the only person that got upset was me(final score USC 28/UCLA 7).

After the game there was a few talks about what was going to be in store for tonight and Ally said she was going to the 6th Annual Elf Party. What's that you ask... Found out it's a charity event being held at the Broadway Studios to raise money for My Two Front Teeth and Baykids. Being the philanthropist person that I am I told myself what's $10 to help two great organizations :) Now that we had a plan what's an elf party without any elves. We drove all over the city to gather our costume for tonight and because it was a little nippy outside it was suggested by Ally that it's a great opportunity to head over to The Buena Vista down by Fisherman's Wharf to get some irish coffees. I've lived here for almost 6 years now and this is the first time I have been exposed to this establishment. This place is world renown for their irish coffees. That being said we threw back a few and headed out to the party.

I'm not gonna go into the details of the night because you just had to be there, but here's some pics of the evening. View Complete Album

Now I better get back to work for tomorrow is Monday and I have lots (understatement) of items due.

Last Day in Vietnam

11/15/2008

Where did the last 2 weeks go??? Waking up this morning was a little difficult for 2 reasons. First I caught the flu (not bird flu) and was nauseous all day with a huge migraine and second our vacation was coming to an end and the thought of sitting on a plane for 17 hours with an 8 hour layover in Korea did not sound all that pleasing.

We spent the afternoon hitting up the open markets and then decided to go to the mall because it was super hot and humid and we needed somewhere with air conditioning. From my observations this mall was super expensive, looks like everything is imported so the price was the same as back in the states. (NO DEALS!)

After arriving back to my uncle's house we started packing for our departure and Sarah wanted to try a few other native fruits.

Off to the airport we go... When we got to the International Terminal, I found out that this was brand new and has only been open in the past year. It was very nice none the least. Once in the air I pretty much passed out until we arrived in Seoul, Korea. We flew on Asiana Airlines and I must say they are top notched in their customer service. When we arrived in Korea we had an eight hour layover. What is cool is when you fly Asiana and have an extended layover what they will do is either offer you a guided tour around the city or give you a room at a nearby hotel. We opted for the room because I was still feeling under the weather. Anyways the rest of the flights were uneventful (which is what you expect when you fly) and glad to be back in 60 degree weather.
