We’re back!

Category: Travel, Wedding — Michael @ 2:07 pm

Ok…so we’ve been back for a while now, but we are now back on the blog as well. On August 30, Revel and I were married in Carver, MA. Then we had a great honeymoon to Hawaii (Kauai and Maui). We uploaded a bunch of pictures, so check them out.

Album 1 - 2 days in Boston before Hawaii

Album 2 - Kauai part 1

Album 3 - Kauai part 2

Album 4 - Maui

Hope you enjoy them.

Now that Revel and I have settled in a bit into married life, hopefully we will have some more time to make this blog active again. Stay Tuned!

Deep Sea Fishing (Bachelor party)

Category: Friends, Travel — Michael @ 11:01 pm

This past Saturday my friends took me out deep sea fishing off the coast of Newburyport for my bachelor party. This was my first time deep sea fishing. While we didn’t catch a lot of fish, we had a great time with beautiful weather and I was happy to spend the day with all of my good friends. I really appreciate the great time out with all of them, not to mention the friendship I’ve enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy!) with all of them over the years. Now I get to join the “married guy” club with all of them.

Here’s a few shots of the day, but check out all the pictures in this photo album.

Visit to Jamestown

Category: Travel — Michael @ 2:27 pm

Revel and I went out to Jamestown, RI last weekend. When we left, we were worried that we would get rained out, but we had just enough nice weather to have a great time on the rocks looking out at the ocean. There were lots of sailboats out enjoying the strong winds.

Tasha and Daisy had a great time as well and were well worn out after our hike.

Check out a few more pictures after the break and a lot more in the photo album.

Christine and Ricardo’s Wedding

Category: Travel — Michael @ 3:42 pm

Revel and I went down to South Carolina back at the end of June for my sister Christine’s wedding. It was also a chance for Revel to meet my two brothers, Daniel (lives in Switzerland) and Philip (lives in Tokyo, Japan). We had a great time down there and Christine and Ricardo’s wedding was great. Here are some pictures from our trip and the wedding.

You are now free to move about the world (again!)

Category: Travel — Michael @ 4:04 pm

As Revel mentioned in the previous post, I recently (last year) became a US citizen. After becoming Naturalized last year, I needed to get a passport. So after some procrastinating, I finally applied. Less then two weeks later, I have my passport! (that’s fast!) So I am once again free to travel the world.

Mount Washington

Michael and I went up to New Hampshire this weekend to visit my Grandmother who is out here from California for a few weeks. We were able to take a drive up Mount Washington and were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny clear day with breath taking views.

sking in NH

Both Revel and I enjoy the winters and all the fun activities available in the snow.

Snowshoeing in NH

This year, we were able to go skiing (Revel) and snowboarding (Michael) in NH and Vermont, as well as snowshoeing and even took a spin on a snowmobile for the first time. We had some great trips and beautiful weather each time.
