Travel


TRAVELLING is a passion for my partner and me. Click on the sun and take a trip to my travel page to visit some fascinating places, including:

- The Big Island of Hawaii, where we spend several months each winter - trip reports & photos
- Some photos of the Caribbean, Belize, Mexico and Alaska
- Diary and more photos of our trip to Egypt
- Ballooning in Switzerland
- Working on an archaeological dig in Belize
- Lots of useful travel links!


Archaeology

We often combine our trips with ARCHAEOLOGY, and we have been following the archaeological 'trail' to various places in Mexico, Central America, and Egypt.

Enter into the fascinating world of Archaeology, including:

- A field report from our first-hand experience as "diggers" in Belize
- My Egyptian Diary
- Links to archaeology publications, news and websites.

Sailing

Unfortunately, I can't spend all of my time travelling...the second-best substitute for me is SAILING. Come on aboard and check out some pictures of cruising in the beautiful Gulf Islands.

Art Gallery

Hope you enjoyed that outing on the water! Now on those rainy, grey westcoast days, a boat ain't the most pleasant place to be, I must say...so I pass the time doing some PAINTING when the inspiration strikes - just click on the Gallery button to enter my exhibit.

web design

I also design websites for individuals and small businesses - view my design philosophy and portfolio, and feel free to contact me if you're thinking about getting a homepage, personal or small business. You will receive attentive, personalized service, and a quality webpage that you can be proud of.

astronomy

Well, from painting and designing, on to something a bit more awesome - nothing less than our universe and ASTRONOMY. I'm extremely interested in the subject, as well as astrophysics and cosmology. I am also a proud "eclipse chaser", having seen four total solar eclipses so far (and more to come, I hope!). Take a trip to outer space right in your armchair! Includes:

- Mauna Kea summit trip report
- 2006 total solar eclipse
- August 11, 1999 total solar eclipse
- February 1998 total solar eclipse
- Astronomy links to NASA and its various space programs
- Astronomy sites and publications - learn something new today! :-)

stuff

Finally, I needed a page for all that other neat and fun STUFF that didn't fit in anywhere else. Press the magic button to:

- Links to some FUNNY and USEFUL stuff
- If you want a good laugh, some REALLY old slides from when I grew up!

links

Last, but not least, please visit my WEB RING and LINKS page, which will lead you to other interesting sites.

Before you leave, please sign my guestbook below! You may also e-mail - I'll reply as soon as I get back from my walk on the beach...
