February 2011

With Gary and MJ in town, our usual Sunday get-togethers now always include the grill.

Because good Mexican is so hard to come by in these parts, we've decided to take things into our own hands and enjoyed two extremely satisfying Mexican weekends.

Kuala Lumpur Chinese New Year February 2011

This year's family trip was organized by Alex and Nanette - after a few days of Chinese New Year celebrations in Hong Kong, we all headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the rest of the holiday weekend. We stayed in the center of town, right next to a huge park (one of the best any of us had ever seen) and the Petronas Towers. We ate more than our share of Malaysian food and made good use of the pool at our hotel. Billy was called to Puerto Rico for work and had to miss the whole trip. This was a big disappointment, but it also gave Will and Sasha more opportunity to bond with Agong and Ama. Now, every time Sasha picks up anything that resembles a phone, he says, "Herro? Ama? Agong?"
