Facebook had an outstanding travel fair today; everyone was very engaged and it was one of the best events I’ve ever attended! Afterwards I had to get the obligatory photo and check-in for my FB page. 🙂

Lake Tahoe in March
Took a trip to Lake Tahoe this past weekend. Scenes like this make me want to pick up and move there! This picture was taken at Sand Harbor Beach on the Nevada side.
BABTA Gala – Union Square
I attended the Bay Area Business Travel Association’s annual holiday Gala on Thursday. When there is an event late at night in the city I like to get into town a few hours early and walk through the neighborhood. I lived close to Union Square for about five years and the gala being close-by I… Continue reading BABTA Gala – Union Square

Super Blood moon 9.27.2015
(This picture was taken using a Meade telescope and putting my Galaxy S6 Edge camera phone up to the lens) Was able to catch the blood moon at full eclipse.

Japanese is the greatest skill I’ve ever learned as it has opened the door to such a fascinating and unique world that is… Continue reading Stroll through Waseda University 早稲田大学
Lake Tahoe – Fourth of July
Took a trip to Lake Tahoe for the Fourth of July. Whenever in Tahoe one of my favorite activities is biking the Flume Trail. This time the trailhead from Spooner Lake was closed so we had to take the Marlette Creek trail which is pretty strenuous. It’s all worth it at the top though which… Continue reading Lake Tahoe – Fourth of July

Fish Market – Great Restaurant in Foster City
The Fish Market is the best restaurant I know of in Foster City for a business lunch. I went with a customer today who is a regular; we sat at the bar and Michelle did not disappoint with her sandwiches. We didn’t get to enjoy much of the view sitting at the bar but the… Continue reading Fish Market – Great Restaurant in Foster City
