In September of 2003, I took a trip to London and Scotland with a few friends. I found that London was really a beautiful city and that the hills of Scotland are just unbelivable. We rented a car a drove to the Border Collie International herding trials and than went North.Our trip lasted 2 weeks and I really didn't want to come back

London and the river Thames
The Highlands of Scotland
The Ettrick Valley
One of the best trips I recently have taken was to Juneau,Alaska.I spent four days there and managed to view many wonderful sights,including Mendenhall Glacier,a boat trip to Tracy Arm and a jaunt to Glacier National Park .I stayed at a great Bed and Breakfast,The Cinnamon Inn which is run by a wonderful lady who volunteered to take me out to dinner one night and made very tasty cinnamon rolls for breakfast each day.

Tracy Arm Waterfall

The Grand Canyon was wonderful. When you walk up to the first look out spot and peer out over the vista,it is almost unbelievable

New Mexico is the place to see EL Morro which was the landmark for settlers going West looking for a water hole.There are many interesting inscriptions on this rock made by all the people who passed by.

The painted desert has many red rocks

Rocky Mountain National Park

I was scheduled to go to a seminar in Denver and took the opportunity to visit this park.

Monterey Mexico

The trip to Mexico was exciting.We made a big loop and came back through Monterey where we stopped at Horsetail Falls.

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico has beautiful San Juan and all the beaches around it.We went just before the season and had the beaches all to ourselves.

Great Smokey Mountains

A friend and I toured the Smokies where it drizzled most of the time and all the hills were "smokie" but beautiful.

The hills were really smokie when we were there

There are waterfalls everywhere
