"We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." -T.S. Eliot

Like many VT members, travel is in my blood. To date, I have visited 47 of the 50 United States, 61 countries and territories, and all but one continent (Australia). I have lived in six of these countries for a year or more, and have picked up bits and pieces of several languages, including Swedish, German, Spanish, and Jamaican Patois.

Being insatiably curious about the world in which we live, travel for me is much more than moving from Point A to Point B. Rather, it is a process of continuously educating oneself by experiencing new sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and perspectives. Travel enlarges one's perspective, expands one's knowledge, and promotes tolerance and understanding. Travel also allows us to truly appreciate the familiar places we call home.

I hope you enjoy my VT travel pages. As you will quickly realize, I'm an avid birder, and many of my pages and travelogs focus on birdwatching, but I've tried to throw in enough pictures and information of general interest that they should appeal to anyone. Enjoy!

"Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag." -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Elbert is a nice little waddle up. My friend made it to about 12800 on the Black Hawk trail before I had to take him down - and he lives in CO!

Thanks for all the good tips on Jamaica. Ever see the Junkanoo festival there? I really want to see it in Jamaica after seeing the Bahamian festival!
