My First: Date

Dear Mila,

Loved meeting up at the MoMA, girl.  You were looking fly in your legwarmers and furry vest, working the audiophone in French.  Seems like we're getting this walking thing down, though I might need some more practice.  Thanks for your help checking the structural integrity of the museum; can't be too careful post-Sandy, knowhatimsayin'?  Our little rendez-vous also gave me a chance to peep some tourist Blackberries, for national security purposes, of course.  FYI, never trust a foreigner who can resist the Cuteness.

And just remember that while Jon Bon Jovi would steal the sun from the sky for you, I'd stop a barge on the ice for you.

I'll be there for you,

JYK

1 + 6 = 7; 5+2=7; 7,7 is 7!

Dear Mom & Abuela,

HAPPY BIRTHDAYz!!!  Did you know that you plus you equals me?  And in more ways than one.

Glad we got to party at Mr. Chow.  Been wantin' to try the Peking duck for a while now.  Thanks for making it happen.

"Yeah, we'll have the Peking duck and a side of squid ink vermicelli."

Was also fun to turn the place into our own little dance party of folkloric Gallego songs.  Take that, Fashionistas! Ha!

Isn't Mi Abuela a hottie?

Cheers to many more,

JYK

Brrr

Dear NYC,

Thatz cold.

Thank you, PoPo!

Dear PoPo,

Momz, Dad and I appreciate all the hard work you put into setting up our stay at the Grand Hyatt in Taipei.  I know you spent sleepless nights and sent countless e-mails to make sure everything was set up just right.  In the end we had amazing meals, particularly breakfast...

Don't we look satisfied after a filling Taiwanese breakfast spread?!

And in between bonding with Gong Gong and the Original PoPo and exploring the city, we settled into cushy beds in our large rooms with views of Taipei 101 and even got to explore the beautiful spa.  It was also very cool to get to see them setting up their holiday decorations, including the HUGE tree that went up in the lobby with all those fun decorations.

And what can I say about the excellent service? Supreme job, ladies!

I hope we can make staying at this wonderful place a new family tradition.

Mad respect,

JYK

My First: Trip to Taiwan

Dear Taipei,

Here I come!!!

Me n Momz rockin' it first-class style.  My own seat - Whut whut!  Off to meet Dad at Narita Airport...

And here he is, in all his Prince Valiant glory.  IOW: Love the hair, Dad.

And after 20 hours, I've successfully brought my family to Taipei.  Check my stamp.

Now off to meet Gong Gong and the Original PoPo.  Can't wait!
