Promdi in the US 2006. (A complete blog is available @ http://karyng.multiply.com/journal)

Flew to the US on June 23 -- the main purpose of the trip is for a conference but it also gave me a glimpse of 5 US States – California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York & Connecticut. It was an amazing trip! It was great to connect with family and friends, hang-out with the kids, and to just appreciate sights and sounds of the Land of the Free!

Trip Itinerary: The key to a smooth trip is a good plan! Main partner of The Plan is Cousin Teray (who did an audit of my flight schedules and destinations). Inputs were also obtained from content experts such as Marky Mark Jacildo, Doc Joey, Ryan Brown (thanks for suggesting Travelocity!) and my good friend Bambie. There were only a couple of surprises: Philadelphia and Teray’s 8th Month Pregnancy Bed-rest!
