We also went to Hua Hin twice while we were in Thailand. The first time we stayed at Dusit Thani Hotel. Dusit Thani is a fairly big resort with lots of room. The second trip we stayed at Rest Detail Hotel, which is a much smaller boutique hotel.

We also spent a few nights in Khao Yai at Kirimaya Resort. It was my first time in Khao Yai in more than 10 years. It's certainly a lot more developed that the past around the national parks with lots of small boutique hotels. Kirimaya isn't new but pretty well maintained and still has that nature reserves sort of feel to it.

Adobe held the Digital Marketing Summit 2012 conference (formerly known as Omniture Summit) earlier this month in Salt Lake City, Utah at the Salt Palace Convention Center. This year it was twice as big than the previous year with twice number of attendees exceeding 4000+ customers, partners and industry press/analysts.

Last November, my family and I went to Thailand again. It was around the time Thailand was facing the worst flooding in 50 years. And because of that, we were debating whether to postpone the trip. Although, we’d bought tickets way months ago, United Airlines posted a notice stating that it would allow passengers ticketed Thailand to make changes to their reservations one time free of charge.

A Penn Stater met the love of her life in the nation's capital.

It was a beautiful Fall day at International Country Club. It didn't count the number of guests but it was a big wedding with both bride's and groom's high school, college and graduate school friends. The dance floor was always jam-packed. It was a lot of fun.

Kat is from Ohio and moved down here not too long ago. She and Brian are both runners and that's how they met. The first time I met them they looked very athletic and dressed almost the same with one of those black polyester/fleece fabric outdoor jackets. Because they both love running, Kat planned a little after ceremony surprise for Brian where they put on running shoes and trailed off into the woods in the back of the main area.

First wedding of the year back in March at Newton White Mansion in Prince George's County, Maryland. The weather was incredible but unfortunately the ceremony and reception were held indoors. Although it was right at the end of March, I guess the venue didn't allow any event organized outdoors until April. Anyway, I couldn't have been a better day.

This is definitely not just another couple wanting to do a session in Georgetown. Let me tell you about Frank. Frank is avid StarCraft fan.

It's been a while since the last blog update. I guess I'll start off this one with pictures from the dance floor ... just to show insane it was. People totally rocked out with different wicked moves. I think the elderlies had as much fun as the younger ones.

As previously mentioned, my journey from Cinque Terre to Rome was quite hectic but we eventually arrived in Rome at around 15:00. Since we were going to spend the next two days checking out the city, we planned to turn the afternoon into a retreat at our hotel, Rome Cavalieri—The Waldorf=Astoria Collection.

My trip to Cinque Terre, Italy. Hiking through Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Rick Steves style travel with lots of photos.

My trip to Switzerland - includes visits to Gimmelwald, Interlaken, Spiez, Berner Oberland. Rick Steves style travel with lots of photos.

After 3 days in London, we spent 2 days and 3 nights in Paris staying at Hilton Arc de Triomphe, which is a block an a half from the Courcelles metro stop. Hilton Arc de Triomphe really deserves the name Hilton unlike the dirty ghetto rundown Hilton Valley Forge in King of Prussia, PA (now Dolce Hotel). It's clean, nicely decorated, and located in a good neighborhood. It also has a great executive lounge with an open-air seating area. Our room was nice, roomy and clean.

We flew a morning flight into London Heathrow and arrived in the evening so that we could get a good night sleep. The plane landed at almost 22:00 and after we were done with immigration we had to get some money exchanged, took a long walk to the Tube station, and lined up to get Oyster cards. We didn't leave the airport area until 23:30. After having a late dinner, that night we ended up going to bed at around 2:30 or so.
