My third and final set of job interviews, with Lydia by my side to check out the science and lifestyle of our potential new homes - Montreal, Belgium, Ireland and London.

In which Lydia and I meet up with John to explore the Ukraine and Moldova by train, bus and boat.

Photos and travels in my adopted city. An attempt to understand American culture and language.

A long weekend spent in Nevada and Arizona. Three nights of the decadence of Las Vegas, a day at the Grand Canyon, a day at the Valley of Fire, and a day exploring the elegant and tacky hotels of the Strip.

Quirky, unusual, incorrect or interesting signs from around the world

Photos and travels from around Australia.

A week in Keystone Colorado at a conference on Immune tolerance in transplantation and autoimmunity, a chance to play in the snow and catch up with old friends.

In which we venture with great trepidation into the American cruise culture. A relief from the culture shock will be gained by visits to Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Aruba, Bonaire, Grenada and St Kitts and Nevis.

A weekend in San Francisco.
