Vacations and Travel
Here I'll chronicle my vacations and travel. I'll include trip stories and (hopefully) lots of good pictures. I've had quite a few people ask me to send them e-mails with trip stories and pictures and the like, so rather than clogging up everyone's inboxes with photos and telling the same story over and over, I decided this would be the best forum to share my adventures and experiences.

England & Scotland 2012 2
In the fall of 2012, the folks and I and our usual travel group (along with a few new people) made a trip to the UK. We stayed a week in London before heading to Scotland for a week.
Below, you'll find the links to the different trip segment articles that tell the story of this amazing and surprising trip. Enjoy!
Mediterranean Cruise 2010 11
From Nov 8th through the 24th of 2010, I took a wonderful vacation to Europe with my folks and a big group that totaled 15 people. Many in the group had been with us in Italy in 2008, and it was a fantastic trip. Here are the articles that chronicle the amazing trip, including 12 days aboard Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas, that included stops in (this order):
-
Barcelona, Spain
-
Toulon, France and the French Riviera
-
Livorno, Italy and the Tuscany and Chianti regions
-
Civitavecchia, Italy and the Lazio region northwest of Rome
-
Athens, Greece including Sounion
-
Kuşadasi, Turkey including ancient Ephesus and Selçuk
-
Santorini, Greece
-
Naples, Italy including Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii
-
Frankfurt, Germany
I have included links to each of the photo galleries that pertains to each article at the top of each article, but I have included some smaller versions of those pictures inline in the articles. However, the pictures in the galleries (follow this link or look in the menu to the left) are larger, and they're geotagged. Enjoy! Oh, and please feel free to leave feedback and comments on both the articles and the photos. I would enjoy hearing what you think!
Wyoming/Montana June 2009 5
This year's big vacation involved 9 days in Wyoming and Montana from May 29 through June 7. Derek and I had some big plans for this vacation: a road trip through Wyoming and Western Montana that turned into a 2,000 mile trek over 5 days, and of course the requisite long range slaughter of the pain-in-the-ass rodents commonly known as prairie dogs. You can read about those and see some pics under The Hunts section. Don't worry - there aren't any gross photos there, just some of us on the firing line and stuff like that.
Enjoy!
South Padre Island 2008 6
The folks and I decided to take a trip to South Padre Island for Thanksgiving 2008. We also had some great friends from Wyoming join us. Here is the trip story and photos related to that awesome trip.
Italy 2008 6
I took a trip to Italy with my folks and a group of friends from June 13 through June 29, 2008. And what a great trip it was. It was my first trip "across the pond" to Europe, and obviously my first visit to Italy. Although 2 weeks sounds like a long time, we just barely scratched the surface of what you can see and do while there. However, we did do a lot, so this section tells the story of the trip and shows a few of the photos available. To see all of the photos I've posted for this trip, select Photo Galleries from the left menu and look under Italy 2008 (or click here to go there directly). I've got the photos arranged by location, and with the new photo albumn software, they're all also geotagged. Enjoy!
