Like some folk we
try to travel a little
when
we go on holiday, or even
if we choose to stay
at home!
This section provides links
to photos from
a few of our favourite trips.
Like any photo album, you
may
find
it tedious to look though
other peoples memories, unless
family or friends. Or you
may be simply interested
to take a peek at what you
may
find
if you're about to explore
that part of the world. I've
set-up the galleries as
stand-alone sections so if
you wish to return
here to view others I would
recommend you bookmark this
page, now!
All our travels have been
in
the
northern
hemisphere but one day
we hope to venture below
the
equator line to enjoy some
of the continents in the
southern hemisphere. |

Alaska
1998
A 50 day adventure by
rigid inflatable boat following
in the wake
of Captains James Cook & George
Vancouver. Visit some of
the remote locations where
Cook first stepped ashore
in Northwest America and
the Inside Passage charted
by Vancouver.
Completed
in 1998, it benchmarks the
decline of the glaciers in
Glacier Bay during these
times of climate change.

China
2002
An escorted tour to experience
China and cruise the mighty
Yangtze river before it
was changed forever by
the great Three Gorges
Dam project, and before
the completion of the country's
'capitalist' revolution
in time for the Olympic
Games in 2008.

Halfmoon
Bay, British Columbia,
Canada 2004
A four month stay
in
Northwest Canada on the Sunshine
Coast, north of Vancouver.
An extensive photo
gallery complete with diary
notes. Covers our home base
in Halfmoon Bay, visits to
Vancouver Island, the Queen
Charlottes, Ketchican in
Alaska and a
trip to San Francisco.
Shortly after our voyages
by ferry boat thru the Inside
Passage one of the ships
we were passengers on struck
a rock in the same waters
and sunk (with some loss
of life).

Our
Own Doorstep, Album 2005
A selection of photographs from own 'neck of
the woods'. Covering some country walks, a
boating trip to Scotland, and one or two local
country shows.
We also managed to slip
in a break to Bruges and
a fascinating visit to
flanders fields at Ypres,
some
of the front lines of the
first
world
war.
A very moving place
that every politician should
visit during their term
in office.

Dallas,
Texas 2006
A short trip in March
06 to catch up with our
eldest daughter, and grandson
during the time our son-in-law
was posted to Dallas with
his work. A chance to see
some of the wild west at
Fort Worth and visits to
the historical
buildings and the grassy
knoll involved with the
infamous assassination
of the popular President
JF
Kennedy.
