Parking Job
Sucks to be the owner of this car.
It's like the people didn't give the car any room to get out later.
Cost me $70 to fill up the Previa. It was about 15 gallons of gas.
Almost hit another car today going northbound on Highway 280. It was at the Highway 101 junction. This lady decides to cut across 3 lanes to join the Highway 280 junction and decides to cut me off. Forcing me to do a full stop from 70mph! I had to start cutting into another lane to avoid her.
Drive safely out there and don't forget July 1st is when the hands-free cellphone device law goes into effect.

Monterey Bay, CA
In March, my babe and I did a small road trip to Monterey Bay, CA. It was fun and exciting because it was considered our first trip that we organized together.
It was a gorgeous place and I really enjoyed spending the time with my babe over there. It was very pristine and very clean.
We mainly made a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and walked around Fisherman's Wharf.
Here are some of the pictures we took together.
Check out the tidal pool. I have never seen water so clean before.
This exhibit was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It simulates waves that crashes onto shore.
Just an old ship anchor.
Fisherman's Wharf
I was trying to point at seals sunbathing.
Used the timer for this shot. The hard thing about going on trips as a couple is that it is hard to take pictures as a couple because there is no one to take it for you.
Look, we found some more seals sunbathing. It was so amazing how close we got to them.
This was the first time I ever seen seals just resting on the surface of the water like that.
This shot just reminds me of the long road in life.
I just wish we got to spend more time there and I want to go there next time to do some whale watching.
The only thing I hated about this trip was that the shops and restaurants there are way over-priced. The food was not even as great as the food you can find in San Francisco.

Babe's Texas Trip
My girl decided to come over to Dallas/Ft. Worth and stay with me for a week.
I was happy for her to come because we got to spend time together and I got a chance to show her around the company and give her an idea of what I do.
Other good news; I passed my oral exam today and I can finally continue toward my simulator training.
The "School House"
Just doing some studying.
"Through these doors pass the best trained crews in the world."
Full motion simulator in the background.
American Eagle full motion simulator that I will be flying next week.
Showing my babe the emergency training area.
The Embraer regional jet cabin trainer.
Opening the wing emergency exit.
Just going to enjoy the experience as much as possible. I'll probably be a part of the cutbacks that American announced last week.

Travels
It has been a long time since my last entry. I have been busy because I accepted a job offer with American Eagle Airlines. Been busy preparing and been busy with training.
Been doing a lot of traveling these past couple of months.
I had a really nice trip to Monterey Bay, CA with my girl. It was a really beautiful place and I would say it was my first road trip with my babe.
My parents took me to China for a week. We went to Guangdong Province traveling to Hong Kong and Taishan. Did not have much fun, but learned a lot. I rather go with my babe and my cousins so that I can walk around and check out the sights.
Now I am in Arlington, TX training to be a First Officer (co-pilot) for the Embraer Regional Jet for American Eagle Airlines.
Just sad that I will not get to see my babe as often, but my travel privileges allow me to see her on my days off.
