December 2008

Did a bit of traveling in December. Went to Oahu to attend a meeting for work and then flew home to Pennsylvania to spend Christmas with my family.

Oahu
Twice a year my office has a department meeting in Oahu. I added an extra personal day to this last meeting to do a little exploration in Oahu. Enjoyed the Byodo-In Temple along the west coast as well as the USS Arizona Memorial where sailors lost their lives during the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. Here's a link to some of the pictures I took.

Christmas with the Family

This year, I went back home to Pennsylvania for Christmas. It was quite a trip down memory lane. My parents moved to Maryland just after I started college, and I haven't been back to Pennsylvania since. I got to have lunch with my oldest friend, my next door neighbor when I was growing up. I haven't seen her for over 15 years, and it was wonderful catching up. Here's a link to some of the pictures I took of Christmas holidays. There are a lot of pics of Vicky and Drew and their two kids Ian and Nicholas as I promised them photos for their Christmas present.
