Part 1-New Years Eve in San Francisco 2009-2010

Also my first time in SFO...I have to say by category, this is my favorite "Big" city. I felt right at home here, especially growing up in Asia, and the heavy asian influence of the city. The "melting pot" vibe was perfect & we both LOVED it! I mean completely.

Our hotel was right downtown, smack dab in the middle of the financial district, but within walking district of Chinatown, little Italy & everywhere else.

The Omni-

Chinatown............

Little Italy....

The Grand Canyon...Summer 2009

This was my very FIRST time at the Grand Canyon. I can say I have never been any other place like it. It was breathtaking. We didn't account for the fact that there would be no cell phone reception many places in the park & arrived after midnight after getting lost, and almost running out of gas due to coming into the park on the wrong side. Although a little touristy, I would return if I had the chance in the future. The middle of the summer was perfect time to visit, although we did stay in the park and awoke to snow the next morning. An awesome time overall.
