Travel
I've done a bit of travelling over the years, and thought it might be interesting
to come up with some sort of record of my journeys. Here it is.

| London, UK | Hotel Russell | June, 2009 | I spent a week in London on business in 2009. My hotel room was most notable for its tiny balcony and the large collection of cigarette butts to be found on it. Yes, the London buses are really red double-deckers, and the taxis really the quaint little ones that look 50 years old. I was astonished at how much of the Parthenon was sitting in the British Museum, and found out later that it's a point of contention between Greece and the UK. |
| Utah and Colorado | Hilton Garden Inn, Sandy, Utah
Best Western Canyonlands, Moab, Utah
Lumière hotel, Telluride, Colorado | August 2009 | Isn't August the best time to visit the deserts of Utah? Actually, part of the trip was in Salt Lake City, where it was unseasonably cool. This great trip covered some family visits in SLC, lots of hiking in Arches and Canyonlands national parks near Moab, and the Telluride Food and Arts Festival in Colorado, where we even met "Top Chef" Hosea Rosenberg one morning, since he was staying at our hotel. |
| St. John, USVI | Gallows Point Resort, St. John, USVI | April, 2010 | Seeing a pattern here? Actually the weather was only so-so, but we did rent a real Jeep and got to Coral Bay, Saltpond Bay, and Anneberg Plantation. |
| St. John, USVI | Gallows Point Resort, St. John, USVI | December 2010 | Two trips to St. John in one year? Well, due to various issues with work schedules, we decided our best option for a winter break was to go the week between Christmas and New Year's. We made it out just in time before a big snowstorm, and the weather on the trip wasn't great -- quite cloudy and very windy, rougher than I'd ever seen it before. |
