Winding Down in Tustin: A Quiet End to Our U.S. Trip

After the excitement of our Las Vegas trip, we spent our last two nights in the U.S. at my aunt’s house in Tustin, LA. It was a calm and cozy way to wind down before heading back home. My sister flew to back to New York right after Vegas, while my wife and I went to LAX to stay with our aunt. Unlike our earlier days filled with activities and packed itineraries, this short stay was more relaxed—no tiring trips, just small walks to a nearby mall and simple chats with our aunt and uncle. It was more about catching up than exploring—talking, laughing, and sharing stories that made us feel at home, even just for a little while. It wasn’t grand, but it was special in its own quiet way. Today, as we make our way back home, I can’t help but reminisce about the happy memories—from the glittering lights of Vegas to the warm welcome of family in Tustin. A short but meaningful trip, indeed.

I'm glad everything turned out so well on your trip! And to think I was worried about you and your wife coming to the US.

Yeah, it looked like everything went smooth in immigration. I was pretty confident that things will get through as we have been to US and been a good tourist by always returning back home with what we declare in immigration so i think theres no way from them to deny me entry.

What a lovely way to wrap up a big trip. Sounds like a short but deeply fulfilling journey. Safe travels home

Indeed, it wasn't a flawlessly planned vacation, but I would say that the memories left a lasting impression on me. I'm currently back at home, struggling to get used to my daily schedule after my jet lag.
