"Welcome to my little part of the world!" rwlittle's Profile


Halloooooooooo!

You must be lost, if you've made it here to my little corner of VT! ;) Or perhaps not, you never know... Since you're here, feel free to take a look around....though I'm nowhere near done yet. I'm still working on documenting my travels, a piece at a time. It's fun for me, and it's my little contribution to the VT community, so hopefully it's occasionally useful to y'all.

Hopefully I haven't embarassed myself too too much with my efforts here!

My favourites

The travels I'm most proud of, because I planned them myself and we had a lot of fun:
- "Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon, Bonjour!" -- 2001
- "London, Oxford, Bath, and sundry other points" -- 2002
- "Southern France, Toulouse to Marseille, Bonjour!" -- 2003
- "Velkommen hen til K?benhavn!" -- 2004

And, most recently...

- "I move to Cupertino -- tale of the journey" -- 2005

Your favourites

These destination pages seem to be your current favourites:

- Nimes, and Pont du Gard
- Welcome to the ancient city of Arles!
- Avignon, perched against the Rhone
- Missing Cambridge...
- Somerville, urban "surburb" of Boston

Somehow, my Banff page does not qualify...but I'll keep trying! ;)


About me, in brief...

- I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1970.
- I now live in Cupertino, CA, USA. Previously I'd lived in the Boston area for over 10 years.
- I went to "physics school" in Canada, getting both bachelor's and master's degrees, and now work as an acoustics/transducer engineer.
- I enjoy traveling (primarily in Europe), hockey (I *am* Canadian), tennis, reading, the occasional computer game, photography, and music.




Newest news!!!...

I've been in and out of China this summer and fall, repeatedly, on business.

AND, here's the less-happy news. Folks here have been very supportive of honeymoon and wedding plans for me, but M and I are no longer together. I'm a single guy again.


The updates, they keep a-comin'......

Slowly, but surely, I am adding page after page to might site here on VT. Please, feel free to check out my pages, especially the new ones, and rate 'em if you'd like!
