Mark and I have been together for over ten years, and we finally got hitched August 12th in Berkeley. I know everyone must be assuming I'd drop the name Mikulis like a hot potato but I've decided to keep it.

We took a fab three week honeymoon to Thailand (Bangkok and the island of Ko Samui) and Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto). We had a great time but if there's one word of advice I can give it's don't go to Asia in August! Both places were around 92 degrees every day with nearly 100% humidity.

We also just took a short unrelated trip about a month ago to Taipei and Hong Kong. On the flight home on a bad food poisoning jag I proceeded to make the plane my own personal vomitorium and I threw up five times (after one incident the flight attendants actually put up an "out of order" sign on one of the bathrooms). We had a good time... well, except for that.
