Musing from the City of a Thousand Lakes

Finally….

In My Life, Travel on Monday, December 18, 2006 at 8:10 PM

Finally my final exams are officially over… Finally, the exam fever is gone… Time to party… Yo, yo, yo…!!!!

Just four more days to go, I’ll embark on my Winter break journey. This Saturday, I am flying off to Los Angeles, where I will be staying with my best friend Sopheap for a week. We plan to spend the first two or three days in LA, Long Beach and other places in the Orange County before leaving for the gambling heaven of Las Vegas with my relatives. Just talking about it, I am already overly excited.. Really can’t wait no more.

From Dec 31 to Jan 10, I am visiting another bunch of relatives in San Jose, Tracy and Stockton, which are around the Bay area near San Francisco. If any of you guys are going and living around there, let me know so that we can meet up. My relatives have also set up some interesting plans. Other than reuniting with everyone, we’ll be going skiing together. I am not sure where exactly it is, but just the word “SKI” alone has stirred enough craze in me. It’s going to be my first time trying it… Fun, fun, fun…

The last destination on my travel itinerary is WASHINGTON, DC. I have been invited over by my former colleague Edith and her husband, who now works for the Royal Embassy of Cambodia over there. It’s been almost two years since I last met them. I really, really miss them, esp. their food.. The special thing about Edith is that she is a great cook.. She has prepared a long list of yummy items to soothe my hungry piggy stomach.. I will be joined by two other colleagues Virak and Chivoin, who are also in the US under Fulbright. The overall plan is still tentative.. If time allows, we might be visiting New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia as well.

Let’s see how things goes.. I bet it’s gonna be fun. Oh man! I wish I could speed up time.. Saturday comes to me now.

And to the rest of you, Merry X’mas and Happy New Year! I’ll try my best to update you guys about my trip as often as I can…
