We decided to try looking at the Tetons again. First we headed towards Teton Village, a small ski enclave near Jackson, at the base of the Teton range. We took the arial tramway to the top of Rendezvous point (10,000+ ft) and looked around at all the crazy places where skiers will try to kill … Read more
We were up at 5:00AM and out the door by 6:30 to meet the 7:00AM bus. Even though it topped 92 degrees on Monday afternoon, it was freezing at 6:30 in the morning. The bus headed south of Jackson, where we reached a boat dock on the Snake River where we were to take a … Read more
This was a long, long day! We travelled from West Yellowstone, Mt. to Jackson, Wy. First, we had unfinished business: We finally stopped at the Lower, Mid and West Thumb Geyser Basins. Once past these last stops, we headed directly to the Grand Teton National Park. As we got our first glimpse of the Tetons … Read more
This morning, my in-laws didn’t go with us. They were tired and wanted to take a day off. We headed across the northern part of the southern loop, towards the fishing bridge and lake. We stopped again in Canyon and asked about bison sightings. Thre had been none so far that day, but we were … Read more

If time and energy permitted, we’d stop there on our way back. We waited only about 20 minutes for Old Faithful, then … Read more
9:00AM comes early in West Yellowstone, (especially since it was 8:00AM Arizona time) and it was off in the mini-van for great adventures. Considering our hotel location and duration of our stay, the general layout of Yellowstone stinks. Each day we would have to travel the same entry strectch of the road until we reached … Read more
Prologue As a child, hardly an amenable weekend went by without my father taking me camping around Arizona. During longer breaks from school we’d travel father afield and there aren’t any western states that we didn’t camp in. While I enjoyed both the experience and the opportunity immensely, these memories of childhood are haphazard memories, … Read more
Our flight to Singapore was at 9:20AM, so we planned for an early start to the airport.
I awoke with a bit more energy than the day before, and I was going to need it. This was phase two of the Wedding Photography Adventure: Picture Day. With luck we’d spend the entire day driving around scenic spots in and around Taipei having wedding pictures taken.
I awoke the next morning, surprised that I had slept for over 14 hours. While I was nearly unconscious, Chu-Wan had gone out to the night market with a school friend. I had been too sick to notice.
