... so good to be in San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge

We accompanied Ken to San Francisco to help him settle into his new apartment. The original plan was to help him do apartment hunting but that was settled by Ian (his apartment mate) - so we had more time to sight see and help him set up the apartment.

On arrival we did household goods buying at Ikea and Target - even at the Premium Factory Outlet we bought household stuff (on top of clothing). Ken and I also managed to play 4 rounds of golf at Golden Gate Park and Lincoln Park. The weather was perfect - 20º plus minus.

Ken went with us for a wine tour and Segway tour. 

Connie and I also managed to hop on to the Big Bus HOHO (hop on and hop off) 48 hours tour which included a night tour and side tour to Sausalito.

We also did a 3 day/2 night tour to Yosemite National Park. We were blown away by the sights.

Life is great - spending time with family and seeing so many wonders of the world!

... so good to have Ken back for 3 months

Kenneth came back for Jon's wedding but stayed for an extended break before starting his new job in San Francisco. So we had a great bonding time - playing golf and traveling to Bangkok (to play doubles with Zainal), China (his first trip to China) and Siem Reap (to see Angkor Wat).

Really glad to have Ken make his first trip to China even though it is to Kunming and Lijiang for golf and sight seeing.

Golf at Jade Dragon Snow Mt Golf Course - the longest 72 hole course in the world. Elevation - 3,200 m

We also visited the Stone Forest in Kunming is also a World Heritage site.

Another item off our bucket list - Angkor Wat in Siem Reap which is another World Heritage Site.

Lots of air miles but also a good bonding time. During the travel, we also realize how much Ken has matured. From some one who hardly reads, he was reading on his Kindle. 

His thinking has matured and his general knowledge has grown multiple folds. Guess his education at Yale has paid off!
