I'm flyin'

'round the world and baby, I'm smilin'
Look, see!
I'm on VT!
DSantosh just welcomed me!
And I'm busy!
Man! Downright dizzy!
Buildin' tips got me in one tizzy
I'm ratin', datin', no hesitatin'
Can't believe all the friends I'm makin'
I'm high! Why? Movin' up the ranks
I'm almost as popular as Tom Hanks
60,000 hits on my homepage
Souls from 7 seas seekin' the sage
So take my advice and join V.T.
a yachtin' globetrottin' community
Tour the world with a click of the mouse
Invite John The Finn into your house
or take your spouse all the way to Laos
Fresh faces, places; jeers and cheers
Found a new member looks like Britney Spears!
Forums are fun if you're so inclined
The Mischievous Forum's where we unwind
You never know what you're gonna find
Get some tech help if you're in a bind
VT staff can always read your mind!
Back to the travel forums I go
People askin' 'bout visas n' snow
Don't look at me, man, I don't know
where to find diapers in Orlando
Pick a nation, for my vacation
Who'll get lucky at my destination?
Folks online in Palestine
with tips on where to shop and dine
Cross the sea? Oui! Log onto VT ...
"Voulez-vous 'meet' avec moi a Paris?"
VT meetings,... leave with no warning
Got Norali "in Brussels in zee morning"
Ivan in Spain, Dewisri in Bonn
connectin' the dots like my man Don Guan
Pole to Pole like Michael Palin and Sharrie
Penguin cam with live links to my safari
Back home! Free! Turn on the PC!
Two hundred notices flashin' at me
Just when I thought my wish list was done
Zap! Like that! I got another one!
Vee Tee!
Everybody is talking about my recent trip to Greece, which included Easter in Athens. I had a wonderful time and am eager to share my thoughts about this interesting country and funny anecdotes from my tour. Please excuse me for the slow construction of my Greece travel pages. Some pages may have photos first and tip content added later.
Building my Greek pages is like writing a book, and I'm afraid my tips and travelogues may take a long time to complete. The order of my tip construction will proceed along the same path as my tour, and so you can click links below to follow the work in progress:
Plaka
Athens
Aegina Island
Mykonos
Kusadasi
Ephesus
Patmos
Rhodes
Crete
Santorini
Ancient Corinth
Mycenae
Argos
Nafplio
I took the new train to Lhasa in August 2006 and also from Tibet to Qinghai on September 10, just one day after the traditional Tibetan Bathing Festival ("Mu Yu Jie") which is when people take off their clothes and go into the Lhasa River!
See my photos taken from the train in both directions on my Tibet and Qinghai pages! Aside from touring Lhasa, I also retraced the 1904 British military excursion from Kangmar to Gyangze and made side trips to small villages that are seldom seen by foreign tourists.
I took over one thousand photos in Tibet and Qinghai, so please be patient as my tips and travelogues might take 1000 hours to complete! (...and I still haven't finished my Greece pages!)
