TRAVELS
The travels section will be dedicated to my ongoing goal of trying to set foot in every square inch of this planet before I move on to the next life.
I began this page in 1999, and at that point I had 27 years worth of travels that I had to try to remember, so most of the early travels lack a lot of good information. However, this section is (for the most part) the reason that this whole site exists. What I would like to do someday, is take off and travel the world and bring a small computer with
me and post my journeys along the way. That is sort of what ended up happening with the whole Euro trip that I took in December of 1998. I ended up taking pictures, scanning them, typing my journal and mating the pitures with the stories in a web-based format. Doing that gave me the idea of travelling long-term and doing it from the road.
I had hoped to start that epic journey in 2000 or 2001, but changes in the economy hit my savings plan pretty hard, and the trip has been postponed. Its still in my head, though.
But for now, this section is a small chronicle of some of the places that I've
been and a few of the places I hope to go.
Seeing as many of the earlier trips I remember were just little weekenders, I decided to color-code a map of the US to show where I had been. The green states are ones that I have not yet been to, the brown states are ones that I have visited, and the yellow ones are ones that I have driven through. States that I have flown through are not marked. You don't get much out of seeing an airport. [Clicking on states will give a list of trips taken to that state.]
Trips which I have taken after this website was created (which therefore have longer stories) are listed below by chronological order, as well as a list of the places that I've lived.
