A few photos from my first ever trip to Southern Africa. Since this ended up being more of an urban adventure, I hope to return again soon for some animal explorations

*** Work in Progress ***

It started innocently enough; I visited Juneau, Alaska in June 1993 and explored the State Capitol building. A few months later, It was Montgomery, Alabama's. In the course of time, it became a hobby. Near the end it became a bit of an obsession. Then, in August of 2006, I visited my 50th US State Capitol building in Pierre, SD. (Yeh!) Yes, I know, I'm a geography nerd.... All entries are maintained in on the 'first visit' date.

A blog with placemarks of World Heritage sites I have visited over the years.... The website I'm using as a guide: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/ UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Well, I really can't write about all these other places in the world without promoting MY fine state can I? Baltimore: "Charm City' is a secret gem of a place to visit, and to live. It was crap in the 1970's, but has risen above to become a great destination. Since I fly, I'll show you much of the state from the air AND the ground. Enjoy. Travelogue in-progess.

I felt the need to take part in this historical event and feel the positive energy of change and hope! Dispite the cold, congestion tight security; it was well worth it

A summary of a few of my personal getaway trips to this beautiful central american nation....

I was chosen to compete in the 'Caucasian Challenge'; a motor rally that traveled from the Balkans (Budapest, Hungary) to the Caucas Nations (Yerevan, Armenia), and many places and backroads in between. My team was sponsored by virtualtourist.com! It was truly a great adventure!!

6 weeks in Afghanistan for work.... I'll bring you my best photos; mostly from the air....

I'm back in Arkansas for my 3rd extended visit for job related training. It's truly a beautiful state, full of warm and welcoming people. I'll be here until April '08, so keep coming back as I update....

I've probably visited the Minneapolis area at least 25 times in the past 10 years. It's on of my favorite cities in the US! This travel blog will combine all my visits....

I spent one week in Nicaragua for two reasons: it was my last Central American nation to visit, and it was my birthday! After 5 days of my usual 'backpacking' and roughing it, I spent the last two days in an all-inclusive Pacific resort... It was a great gift and trip!!

My brother and I are good sons. We planned to go to Alaska to see our dad for father's day. But we fly standby, and everyone else seemed to be headed to Anchorage as well, so no seats for us. We decided to spend a few days in Seattle, and we had a great time!

My summary of a wonderful week of exploring Northern New Mexico: Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos and numerous Parks and small pueblos.

This trip essentially began with a week in beautiful Sydney, Australia. I wasn't sure of my itinerary, but I did pick up a Vietnamese Visa in Sydney, so after a few days visiting friends in Perth, I headed that way from down under. After Vietnam, I revisited Bangkok and Frankfurt to complete my Round the world adventure!

A month long exploration of the sub-continent. I waited several years to be able to make this exploration, but it was worth it!

A mostly urban exploration of Glasgow, Dublin and Edinburgh.

I caught a flight to a long-desired destination: Buenos Aires! continued to Uruguay, Chile and Peru from there.

My work often takes me to the beautiful nation of Qatar, and many surrounding nations. Although I've made this journey many times, I'll combine my blog into one specific time period.

I spent about 5 months here in 2005, training for my airline job. I was delighted to explore every neighborhood and try the local chili and beer....

After working on Antarctica, I took some time to explore the Natural Beauty of Kiwi-land.

In December of 2004 I made it to my final continent: Antarctica. I spent three weeks at McMurdo Scientific Station, and made a quick trip to the South Pole!

This trip focused primarily on Budapest, Hungary. But there were additional stops in Vienna, Nuremburg, Prague, Ceske Budvar and Frankfurt

A roadtrip that focused on Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, with stops in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick on the return trip. The final destination was Toronto, for a crazy meeting of Virtual Tourists!

Bought a round-trip ticket to Singapore, and winged it from there. Ended up traveling by rail to Northern Thailand, with a stop in Brunei on the way back.

Back when it was still the USSR, during my first trip around the world at the age of 23, I travelled from Berlin to Hong Kong by rail.....
