Jillian & Steve's Wedding

From NY to Malaysia to Hong Kong and back to NY, upstate NY that is - we had another wedding to go to. It's Peter's former co-worker, Steve, they worked together back in Johnson & Johnson's. We touched down in JFK, got our rental and drove up to Poughkeepsie for the wedding.

Hong Kong - May 2010

Our usual stop on our way back to NY is a stopover in Hong Kong. This trip is no exception. Our gastronomic adventures continued with Vivian and Catherine in this metropolis.

Pictures from home - May 2010

Since we literally had 9 days on the island - we had to be super organized to do as many things with everyone and eat up all the yummy food from home. If you don't already know, OCD-Sher came prepared. We had a 4-paged itinerary for every day we were traveling. I think we manage to do a whole lot and more.

We managed to see all the cousins, aunts & uncles at our family reunion dinner at Goh Teo Kee restaurant. Thanks to owner, UB alum and friend Hun Guan for helping make the dinner event a success. And super big thanks to our aunts, uncles and cousin for making the time to come see us.

Here are pictures in summation of our time in Penang...
