My big vacation for 2010 was a 12-day cruise of the Mediterranean.  I joined my folks and 12 other people on this fantastic trip, and it was definitely a trip of a lifetime!  We visited six countries during our 17-day trip:  Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, and saw some amazing places, experienced some incredible history, and met some fantastic people.  I've finally finished the trip story and photos from the trip.  Please feel free to read - and see - all about it!  By the way, the relatively new photo gallery software I'm using on the site allows a whole host of new functionality compared to the old stuff, including commenting of galleries and individual photos as well as geotagging.  With that and the help of Google Maps, you can see with (in most cases) good accuracy where I was standing when I took a particular photo.  I've updated all of the pictures from our 2008 Italy trip with the new features as well.  Enjoy!

Greetings all!  I know it has been a while since I've updated content here.  Funny thing - I was trying to show some folks my pictures from Italy.  I recently changed the way the URLs show up in browser address bars, and, well...it broke my picture gallery.  So that prompted me to not only find another picture gallery (still working on that...), but to also update some content and add some new features.  I've now added article ratings and a comment system.  So let me know what you're thinking about the content of my site and the articles.  Keep in mind that everything is moderated, and spammers will not be tolerated.  Anyway, check it all out and let me know what you think.  Thanks!
