Pre-graduation trips: Part 2- DC,NY,LA,LV

Whew.....it's been awhile since I've had the time to sit and blog.Been so busy traveling across America while entertaining those visiting and at the same time preparing to graduate.It's been fun but tiring waking up in different cities every week with friends and family.It will take a couple posts to be able to recall each travel log of mine but let me try.After Miami,my second trip was to DC and New York.We felt like the cast of Sex and the City except no sex and too much city.Shopping started at 7.45am and lasted till 6pm and that was because everywhere was closing for Christmas Eve.We met up with Jas's cousin and his gf and they took us to this Japanese buffet for Christmas Eve dinner.Ate like a pig and it was also my first time seeing Jas eat so much.360 degrees change from the amount of food we had at Miami.We went back to the hotel to drink and chill out.In conclusion,our chi mui reunion at New York was just fabulous.

Coming back to Towson,we didn't have much time to pack, relax and celebrate my birthday eve before flying off to Los Angeles.This trip was in a glamorous setting with all the blings blings but it lacked the intimacy and fun that I was looking for.It wasn't a very pleasant trip for me as much problems happened since I touch foot in LA airport.I lost my phone,compounded my stress levels and even
(gasp!) lost my temper!On the other hand,I have my best friends Jas and Ling to thank for the beautiful Juicy Couture necklace ever after I insisted on not wanting it.Their company made the trip and my birthday beautiful and fun for me even between coughs,loss of social life and other shit we went through.I didn't get drunk on my 22nd birthday as well.Haha.Alright photos from the fabulous LA.

We continued our journey to Sin City (oOo it has my name written all over it) Las Vegas.I had fun watching Cirque De Soleil, camwhoring,clubbing at Body English (Hard Rock Hotel) and Revolution (Mirage Hotel) and of course gambling (everywhere!).We watched Zumanity at New York-New York Hotel and it was soooooo orgasmic!Too bad we couldn't take any pictures=(.On a good note,we took a bunch of fantastic photos.I'm just gonna put down a few but you can check the rest of them on Facebook.Thank you Jas,Ling,Pam and the others for all the pretty pictures!

The trip back to Bmore was not so fun and easy.At the airport,our flight was delayed and we ended up missing our connecting flight which complicated things even more as my parents were arriving to Bmore that day waiting for me to pick them up.We manage to catch another flight thinking we were lucky,only to wait for another 3 hours as our plane ended up having malfunctions and arriving at a different airport in DC.My luggage did not arrive when we arrived at the DC airport and told me that it will arrive at BWI and they told me they would not send it to my house but I had to pick it up.WTF.That pissed me off so much.Fortunately,I arrived at BWI and the people there were more helpful.They said that the plane which had my luggage was delayed and they would send my luggage to my house.After so much drama at the airports,I didn't think I could handle anymore waiting.
I manage to see my parents after Chris picked them up from the bus station and then picked me up at the airport.

So many unfortunate things happened to me on this trip.I still don't have a phone and my already nonexistent social life is worse because no one can call me and vice versa.According to Ling,the travelers were not compatible when it came to our date and time of birth.Jas says that after a few bad things to start the New Year,the rest of the year will be smooth and easy.Yeah right. Haha I think our auspicious superstition was just an excuse to bitch and look for some people to blame.

Coming up next....family time!
