    4 Days in Los Cabos Mexico

    Picture this: you get a timeshare deal on your email with the words: 5 day 4 nights at the Westin Los Cabos for only $399. Would you go for this deal or would you think it’s too good to be true? We jumped at the chance, because why not? It was a good deal for a city that’s known for vacationing celebrities and multi-million dollar homes. If you want to skip the long blog, here’s a summary of what we did on our 4 days in Los Cabos. 4 Day Itinerary to Los Cabos (from the East Coast): Day 1: Arrive late at hotel after a few hours of flying…

    Journey To Chicago: What to Do in the Windy City

    Chicago What do you picture when you hear that word? I hear Polish truck drivers in a Mamet play delivering groceries, spectacular wind chills blowing off Lake Michigan, Cubs and White Sox, Bauhaus and Contemporary structures sitting side by side, Al Capone and speakeasies, Second City, Windy City, White City, Home Alone, Chicago the Musical, deep dish pizza, Sears Tower, loudness, and the eternal rumble of the “L” trains. We visited Chicago for only two full days and a morning, so we only saw downtown Chicago, for the most part.  Still, we saw Chicago as it woke up in the morning and how it went to sleep (or didn’t go to sleep), how…

    A Slovak Philippine Wedding: Party (Part 3)

    So we come to the final and most fun part of the wedding, the wedding reception! After the initial nervousness that comes with the extensive wedding day morning preparation (or, in my case, breakfast, TV, and a bit of freshening up), and the full-length wedding ceremony, the wedding reception is by far the most fun out of the three. It’s the part where you breathe a sigh of relief, down a few glasses of champagne, and dance to Gangnam Style. But more on that later. Photographs and Poses After we arrived from the church, the rain finally stopped, so we had plenty of sunshine for our photos. There were many…

    A Slovak-Philippine Wedding: Part 2 – Ceremony

    A Slovak-Philippine Wedding: The Ceremony If you’re curious about our recent wedding, you can read about the first part here, which gives a brief background on how we met, how I proposed, and all about our preparation and plans for the big day. You can also look through all our wedding-related archives on this post. As promised, this is a three-part blog series about our wedding. This is the second part which focuses on our ceremony. We are blogging it because very few of Ruby’s families and friends managed to go to our wedding – and we’re trying to relive the moment by writing about it. Here goes! Peter’s Point…
