Nothing so new about this, but Aliciya’s Florsheim ad was in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, page E3, this morning, so I figured I’d put it up for everyone to admire.

We had been waiting since July for Florsheim to start using the photos of Aliciya they took. It happened while we were gone. When we got back, Myrna, our maid, told us that she had seen Aliciya’s picture on a billboard on EDSA, the most important street in Manila. Of course, we had to go […]

Our last weekend in Washington Tanya was feeling well enough to get out more. The doctor had told us on Friday that we could go back to Manila. We decided to take advantage of the incredible fall weather and go out to the Pumpkin Festival at Butlers Orchard in Germantown, MD. It turned out to […]

After the surgery I spent my time running back and forth to the hospital and trying to keep Aliciya entertained. I quickly found that the best way of keeping her happy was to take her to the big Borders Bookstore one metro stop away. There were stuffed animals to play with, and when she got […]

We had a good time.  Tanya says, surprised, I think, that Manila Ocean Park is actually better.  Still, we had fun, and I got this fun shot.

On Tuesday we decided to drive around West Maui. It’s a beautiful drive, with wonderful views of the coastline. We took a picnic lunch and stopped a couple of times along the way. The most spectacular stop was at the Nakalele Blow Hole. Of course, with Aliciya there and Tatyana ill, we didn’t hike down […]

In the afternoon we went for a walk down on Front Street in Lahaina. We parked next to Banyan Park, a whole park filled by one tree. Then we had some ice cream and went shopping.

After a short stopover in Honolulu Airport we were on Maui at about 2:30 in the afternoon. Aliciya had slept well on the plane, but Tatyana and I hardly slept at all. We did a little shopping for groceries and such in Wailuku and then were off to our apartment. We are staying in the […]
