I'm from originally Los Angeles, but have lived for a long time in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. Both my wife and I enjoy our travels together.

I was a member of the TravBuddy travel blogging site from 2007 until its closure in 2018. I did much traveling with the Los Angeles Geographical Society from 1961 to 1977.

  • Hobbies:

    Travel (without saying!), Photography, Local history, Historic sites and Museums, music (classical, opera, musical theatre), trying local foods.

  • Favourite places:

    "The famous places to visit are so many, Or so the guidebooks say."--Chip (On the Town)
