Thanks for taking the time to read my TravelBlog.

Next, I dropped out of the rat race in 1997 and I've been traveling since. For the first few years I only traveled in the US, working one summer in Yellowstone national park and I spent two summers in Alaska. I also had the great fortune to be a rafting guide ... full info

Faboulous Old Lady Photos
Dave, you sure do have an eye for the the old gals. Your photos are just superb as usual, making the common sights over there seem uncommon. You're living the lives the rest of us dream of. . BTW, are you "Photoshopping" your photos?... you look younger than you did last year! Lucky fella. Hope to see you again one day. Mark from Halong Bay

"MR" is doing well, he grows a few pounds a week! It appears that dentistry would be a good job for you to look into. Remember-change is here in the U.S, the world should be in good shape soon! PS you missed the 170 million dollar party! Don't worry, every American will wiggle their piggy bank. Be good.

missing VN
Hey Dave, you're making me want to go back to HaNoi. I never did the overnight to Sapa but Kim had several times and love the Hamong people as you do. See you in Ely if not in VN. steve

Answer: "You are where you want to be"
Rammmbbooo! You photo skills have surpassed the Sinsey master. Your latest round of images are worthy of a National Geographic spread. Hope all is well and keep showing us how beautiful the world can be through your eyes and lens. Later, Karateman!
