New York , New York, its a wonderful town!

OK. Trip number two to JFK. Mom and Dad had a wedding to go to, so Grandma and Grandpa Huen accompanied us to New York City. We stayed right across the street at Mom and Dad's old apartment on 56th street. The hotel (the Parker Meridien) was ok, but the best part of it was the Burger Joint and the close proximity to all our favorite places to eat. We got to see lots of friends and family, shop, eat , and generally have a great time despite the 95 degree weather every day.

I found the most wonderful place on Earth. FAO Schwartz. I wanted to open everything!

Mom and Dad went to a wedding. Here is the Bride and Groom on the dancefloor. 

Mom and Dad's fav restaurant in NYC! Yakitori Totto

And they had Totto Ramen!

We went to dinner with half of the dynamic duo at the Time Warner Center

We met with the Lok clan. All the other kids were wondering
why I stood so far away from everyone in this photo

Gangs all here now

We had time to kill since all flights to SFO were delayed (Asiana Airliner crashed at SFO),
so we took the train around the airport 2 times!

Can you tell I loved the train and seeing all the planes, cars, and cranes!

The Admirals Club had a nice play room. Loved it!

I made platinum on AA!!

Sayonara - Last Day in Japan

Here are some pics from our last day in Japan where I finally got to meet some of my relatives who live in Tokyo. Who knew I had this many relatives!  I loved our hotel, The Mandarin Oriental.  They had all sorts of neat things for a little guy like me - my favorite was the child's tub!

Nihonbashi (Japan Bridge) - This is the mile zero marker for Japan's national highway network

Last Few Days in Kagoshima

Really the last few days were all about shopping, eating, but most importantly of all, just spending time with family. Mission accomplished!

Kuru kuru sushi masters

Foreign Objects in your mouths are OK.

My Great Grandma and Grandma - Day 10

Here are some pictures of my Grandma with her mother (my Great Grandma).  She is now 93 years old!  I really enjoyed listening to her sing.  She still loves music and would sing for us daily!  I hope I get to see her again very soon!

Zoo Day - Day 9

Today, we went to the Hirakawa Zoological Park.  I really loved it!  It was a beautiful day and it was so fun to just run around and see all the animals.  My favorite was the Penguins!  Too cute!  After a long day, it was fun to sit with Grandpa and enjoy an ice cream cone!  YUM!  We also had a phenomenal view of the Sakurajima (active volcano) at the end of the day.

Behind us is the Sakurajima.  Its still an active volcano.
