We went down the west coast (Cannon Beach, OR, Monterey/Carmel, CA, San Fran., Acupolco, Puerto Vallarta, Puntarenas, Costa Rica,) through the Panama Canal, and into the Caribbean (Aruba, Curacao, St. Lucia...), and then up the east coast (Miami, NYC).

This summer I am going on a 16 day kayak trip in the "Galapagos of the North" (Queen Charlotte Islands) just south of Alaska which is a UN World Heritage Site...where there are zillions of orcas, whales...

This winter I am planning a 3 month backpacking trip to Asia (through southern China, northern Vietnam, Burma, India).
