In Florida waiting to get on a plane and I noticed some birds flying around inside! Now how did they get there?

Funny enough, today I discovered there’s a Las Vegas in New Mexico! Random.

A beautiful moon over a beautiful building of the same shape!

night view of bellagio and its fountain show

The Bellagio, my favorite to visit because of its display room of Rose Parade-esque scenes.

A different perspective offers a different appreciation.

This is what we saw from our hotel room at Bally's. Not spectacular, but pretty centrally-located on the strip (on the other side).

I thought drawbridges were pretty outdated, but this one is still quite active in downtown Miami!

Our second day in the Bahamas was supposed to be on those islands you can see way in the distance, but with weather like this, we couldn’t dock and spent the day at sea instead.

Taking a cable car up to Ngong Ping village, with others whizzing by, the air flowing through, planes taking off in the distance, and finally, a view of the Buddha. Check out other videos from my Ngong Ping visit.

December 29th, 10 PM. My dad and have been waiting at JFK for two hours, wondering if we can get on the last flight to LA that night. The recent blizzard that swept through the area left many passengers stuck in the airport for days. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to get seats so I wouldn’t have to spend my birthday in the airport!

JFK has a lounge sort of area with lots of iPads for people to play games on. Pretty nifty.

With tons of people stranded in the airport, there were some cots laid out for people to use.

The snow was piling a good 10 feet high as they cleared the runways!

It snowed at least two feet right there. I sort of miss this weather.

Fun in Florida!

This is as far south as you can get in the US! Cuba's just beyond the horizon.
