Asia-Lite Summer Vacation
What we did on our summer vacation: we visited Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Honolulu—what I laughingly call our Asia-lite trip (anytime you go to Asia and you can drink the tap water, it’s not a true Asia trip). The weather was hot and humid in both Hong Kong and Tokyo, but they were really fun…

July 4 in New York City
We had one of the best July 4 holiday weekends ever! To begin with, we spent most of it with one of our favorite families to hang out with. And we spent it in one of our favorite cities, New York, and at one of our favorite hotels, the Carlyle (located at 76th & Madison).…

Christmas in Hawaii
We spent Christmas in Hawaii this year as a more pleasant alternative to being the mole family. And it was so much fun that we are seriously considering making this an annual tradition. It was 80 degrees every day with occasional rain (but who cares about 10 minutes of rain when it’s 80 degrees outside?). …
