We haven’t been on a vacation in quite awhile, so what better time than now to go to Hawaii…oh yeah there was Ysa & Brannon’s wedding too, almost forgot. This was a trip like none of our previous ones. The numerous 11th hour changes was difficult, but the wedding took priority so all the other …

Tarsier Monkey
A tarsier monkey photo from a 2006 Philippine vacation popped up during my screensaver so I thought I would revisit it and found a couple more.
Japan 2019
This was our first trip to Japan and we choose Osaka/Kyoto. It started out a bit rough, what should have taken 1 hour to commute from Kansai Airport to the hotel actually took 2 hours. The train/subway system was intimidating at first. What greeted us at the Premier Cabin Hotel was a small comfy room …
Philippines 2019
I haven’t been to the Philippines in 10 years so what better occasion to revisit then Geo & Azee’s wedding. The whole Philippine portion of our vacation was plagued with photographic mistakes, but rather than give you the what or excuses I’ll just present them as they are. Our first stay was at the Cocoon …
Hawaii Insiders Tour 2017

France through the eyes of Sandy

France Assisted Living Tour 2013
Jon & Joan started a new business taking the elderly to Europe and charging a fortune to take them around and feed them horrible food. We’re their 1st employees. My job was to take pictures to make them feel like they got what they paid for. Day 1 Home for the 1st four days was Hotel …
France bound
Three days before our trip the packing process started. I think I changed my mind 4 times on what camera/lens to bring. We stuffed everything we could possibly think 0f bringing into our new luggages and went to bed a couple of hours before our alarms went off. Luckily traffic to SFO was light. We …
