This year, my sister and I decided to meet in South Florida during my spring break. She and her boyfriend live in New England and needed a break from the cold, and I wanted to teach them to scuba dive, so Florida was an obvious choice.
Sea Urchin Sting in Hawai’i
Back in December when I went to Hawai’i, I did something really stupid. I wasn’t paying attention while taking underwater photos, and got stung by a sea urchin.
Trip to Hawai’i (Big Island and Oahu)
Back in December, after grading the last of my final exams, I headed off to Hawai’i for 10 days of scuba diving, hiking, resting, and catching up with friends. I made it to two islands – Hawai’i (Big Island) and Oahu. Read on for a recap and lots of photos!
4 Days in Washington, D.C.
Back in early December, I went to Washington, D.C. in support of my dad, who was being recognized at an American Institute of Architects (AIA) College of Fellows event. It was a busy time of year for me (right before finals!), and there wasn’t much time to explore D.C. because of the AIA events, but I did get the chance to do a bit of sightseeing. Here’s a quick recap of the trip.
Weekend in Colorado
Last month, I went with another Tucson-based friend to visit some friends near Denver, Colorado. Here’s a quick recap of our trip!
Thanksgiving in New York, NY

Spring break in San Francisco, CA
Last week was spring break at the University of Arizona. Since I’m just working part time and my only duty is teaching, I took the opportunity to travel to San Francisco to see some friends. Originally, my trip was actually planned for a weekend in February but a storm messed up air travel in the area and my flights were cancelled. In the end, it was for the best because the change gave me more time in SF plus there was much better weather!
What’s in that hole? – Episode 9
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 9 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I’m writing for my blog. In the last episode, we found some animals that reside at a ranch near Tucson. This time, we travel to my dad’s house in Albuquerque in the hopes of finding something new and exciting!
3 days in Washington, DC
Back in mid-December I met my dad in Washington, DC, where my godparents live. A year ago, my godfather Tom was elected new president of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and it was finally time for his inaugural reception. I went to DC a few days ahead of the reception so I could get a bit of a break in too.
