Vietnam
My friend told me he was going to Vietnam to visit some old friends and asked me if I wanted to go. Vietnam wasn’t really high on my list of places I wanted to visit (or on it at all), but I said “Hey, why not”. My original plan was to travel to several cities along the coast, but since I only had one week of vacation time left, I had to cut down the number of stops to just three: Ho Chi Minh, Nha Trang, and Hanoi.

Belize
With a shorter plane ride than Asia and a reputation for good diving, I’ve wanted to visit Belize for a while. I had originally wanted to make it to Nicaragua on the same trip, but reading about all there was to do in Belize, I kept this a one-country trip. I picked up a Lonely Planet guide and came up with a plan: to visit both Ambergris Caye (pronounced Key) and Caye Caulker as well as San Ignacio on the mainland. Instead of a bus/ferry, I thought taking flights would save time traveling between destinations. The local air carrier, Tropic Air, services a few cities across the country. After arriving in Belize City, I took a small, 10-person plane to Ambergris. I’ve never been on a plane that small before and it was a fun experience. You can even text and browse the internet in flight because the cruising altitude is only a few thousand feet.

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
My friend Greg was visiting so I planned a quick weekend camping trip in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. It was just car camping, so it should be easy enough that I could take my 4 month old puppy Mars along.

New Site
I’ve been running this site off of Tumblr since 2014 and it’s served me well, until now.

Cabo San Lucas
I had only a few days of PTO since I just started my new job in May. With that in mind, I wanted to take a short weekend trip somewhere - preferably close, so I could maximize the time I had on vacation. I had heard people talk about visiting Cabo, so without doing much planning I booked a trip there.

San Diego
It’s been a while since the last update. I spent a few weeks exploring San Diego, then started looking for a job. It took a few weeks, but I found an iOS development job at a local biomedical company. So, I’ve now officially moved to San Diego!
