So hey, I’m in San Francisco right now, and it’s just as lovely as the last time I was here. I don’t know if I’ll have time to update much, but if you’d like to see pictures of my adventure, just check flickr and facebook, as I’ll be updating them there. Love from the West [...]

As I predicted, Day 9 would involve waking up early and being covered in sweat at some point.  However, this time we decided to also take a rental car along with us.  So we headed out and picked one up. It was a Toyota Prius, and I will say, it was quite fun to drive.  [...]

Well as per usual, we got up quite early in the morning to head out somewhere beautiful and come back sweat soaked.  This time we went to the Manoa Falls Rainforest that sits in the middle of Oahu.  It’s a rainforest, a for real rainforest, and since the only reference point that Ron or I [...]

(sorry for the hiatus on these, things have been a little hectic since I’ve been back.  Hopefully I still remember everything, but if not, I’ll try to at least make it entertaining) So Day 7 started by being attacked by a giant island snake.  I think I’m remembering that right.  Let’s try again. Originally I [...]

Day 5 & 6 were the conference days, and I also worked during both days, so that’s why I’m putting them together.  Working from Hawaii is really not as rough as it sounds though, so don’t worry. So Monday morning, aka Day 5, I got up bright and early to help with the conference registration.  [...]

We didn’t do a whole lot on day 4, other than complain about our amazingly sunburnt backs.  However, I mentioned in the previous post that Rachel took some pictures on an underwater camera while we were snorkeling.  She sent us the pictures, and here were my favorites from that: That’s Alan. That’s me and Alan.  [...]

One thing I completely forgot to mention about Day 2 was that when we go back from dinner, we decided to go for a late night swim.  The beaches in Hawaii do not close, and are all public property, so we needed little convincing.  Peter, Rachel, Joel, Ron, and I all threw on our suits [...]

Day 2 was somewhat uneventful, though since I was surrounded by mountains and ocean and overall beautiful-ness, I still took a bunch of pictures. We worked the first part of the day, and then headed to the airport to pick up the rest of Agathon Group.  I was like a dog in a car window [...]

For those of you who don’t know, the company I work for (Agathon Group) made a wonderful and excellent decision to bring all of us out to Hawaii for a work trip and conference.  Since I work from wherever there’s an internet connection, I thought “why on Earth would I go to Hawaii for only [...]

Well, I realized that I left one photo off from yesterday. Well, last day in Florida.  Luckily our plane doesn’t leave until 7pm, so we actually had a decent amount of time during the day to hang out.  So one thing we did was go to the cemetary to visit my Grandmother’s grave.  The last [...]
