  Hopefully someday soon hobbies: gardening & fishing

• Favourite places:

  Home (Kodiak Island & Alaska), Hawai'i (Kauai), Pacific Northwest (Bellingham, Seattle, Portland and points in between), Ireland (especially the North - Belfast, Derry & Donegal), Manhattan, Germany (Dresden & Berlin)...and anywhere that involves a road trip or a trail/backpack (as long as it's not too damn cold!)

  I like temperate climates...drizzle and mist, green and lush landscapes, and sunshine - need more of that.

  Next on my list of new places to visit: Western Africa (Ghana), the American South (roadtrip!), Montreal-->Halifax by train, UK/Scotland, Japan, New Zealand, Grand Canyon/Route 66 Road trip with my boys, New England Road Trip (Boston-->Maine/New Brunswick), Iceland, Greece (Crete!), Nepal/India...
