Hong Kong Trip - Day 1
Well, after taking the great tour of Hong Kong we headed back to the Grand Hyatt to catch our breath, eat lunch and figure out what we were going to do next. On these business trips we work hard and play hard, so we try to maximize every bit of time we have. We decided [...]
Hong Kong Trip - Day 1 Tour
I had no sooner checked into my room that I received a call from my colleague, Judy, asking if I wanted to go on the guided tour of Hong Kong that had been arranged for our group. Despite the unknown location and status of my luggage, the fact that I had been travelling for almost [...]
Hong Kong Trip - Finally Here

Hong Kong Trip - San Francisco International Airport
Well, after over an hour delay we finally got of the ground from Philadelphia. Admittedly, it was a lot better than I make it out to be. The only good part about having 5 hours between connecting flights is the fact that you have plenty of time “just in case”. For me, I spent the [...]

Flash Video Player Plugin for WordPress Test
As I am getting ready for my trip to Hong Kong, I thought it would be fun to publish some videos / vlogs documenting my trip. I have all of the hardware (Logitech QuickCam Fusion webcam and my Panasonic Lumix FZ30) / software (Camtasia Studio) to make it happen, but I needed an easy way [...]
