Sasco Beach in Fairfield...my usual hangout on a weekend morning when at home. Coffee, Bagel, Paper and Beach.
Finished my masters in December, 2003 and started dropping hints with work that I was ready to start traveling. Had done some small work trips between 1999 and 2003: Portland Oregon, San Francisco/San Jose/Scott's Valley/Santa Cruz and Orange California, Tempe Arizona, Atlanta Georgia, and a my first trip to Eindhoven, Netherlands (with side trips to Amsterdam, Antwerp and Brussels, and Köln/Koblenz/Boppard Germany).
I had spent December and January hunting for a condo in Connecticut (which included my first ever purchase of a digital camera...Canon Powershot A60) and was preparing to close when my first offer of a trip came through, a week in Arizona. This morning was the start of the journeys. I left the next morning for Arizona, and have been on the move ever since...
