this is a short list but hopefully it hasn't ended, and thankfully I've traveled a lot...

• California, born and raised, keep going back. Most of my family still live there.
• Hawaii, Kona side, from early '77 to early '81, and again from early '91 to late '93 during the time I worked for American Hawaii Cruises (photo: SS Independence).
• Maryland, southern (Piney Point and Lexington Park), from March, '98 to October '99, and off and on after that until late 2000 when I moved to
• North Carolina, outside of Charlotte, a culture shock like none before. Hopefully this isn't the last stop...
