I'm back!!! A lot of pics from travels & Orchid
 

Wow!!! Have been a while since I have checked in! A lot of work and traveling!!!
As many of you know my dad passed away couple of years ago, so last year I was going back and forth from Miami to Venezuela to help with his business and my family. Having two jobs in different countries it's exhausting!
With tons of more responsabilities now I had to give up some of my guilty pleasures like being around on one of my favorites sites but I'm back for a while so I will start indulging again with all my fellow orchids friends.
I will start posting tons of pictures of many wonderful trips I took last year.
I'm very happy to be back and Happy New Year to everybody!
Here is the first load of pictures to start catching up:woot:

Our trip started from Miami to Los Angeles, Santa Monica, we spent couple of days there and then to Japan, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji!
