TRAVELS around the world...

                                                           . . . still lots of explorations to go!

Since my last posting of pictures below in 2013, I have now traveled to Cuba a total of 17 times --- plus I've been this period to the UK nine times, Denmark five times, France four times, Italy three times, Austria twice, Norway twice, Sweden, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Czech Republic, Canada, Japan, Turkey and Iran.  Eleven of these were running trips on behalf of Sir John Soane's Museum Foundation.  Busy times... thus the lack of extra hours for posting slide shows here!

With the start of my work here in the USA for the Sir John Soan'es Museum Foundation, I visited London in May 2005 to explore the Sir John Soane's Museum and related sites.

. . .and a stay at the famed Travellers Club.

ICEBERGS...

While GREENLAND was only one stop on a North Atlantic adventure sailing from NYC to Iceland, it is probably one of the most exciting places in the world to see!

Cruising northwards from NYC to Iceland with lots of  fascintating ports and places, including GREENLAND.

Scotland

in the Summer

Starting in Edinburgh for a couple of days, we then set off northwards to Perthshire and the 9,000 acre Kinnaird Estate where we'd rented a house for a week . . . Finishing up at the end of the trip with a great day in Stirling!

Scotland

in the Winter

With the celebration of Hogmanay . . . ringing out 2003 and welcoming 2004 . . . we spent time exploring Glasgow, up through the Highlands to The Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle, then down through Perthshire and finishing up in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.

Maldives

In the midst of the Indian Ocean, off the southwestern coast of India, is an independent country comprise of an atoll chain of 1,200+ islands and land spits.  The highest point of land in all of the islands is just 5 feet above sea level -- this country will be the first to disappear with global warming and the rising of the sea!  We spent eight fabulous days in October/November 2003 exploring this remote part of our globe.

While there are more direct routes, this proved a great chance to explore other spots . . . leaving Newark on a non-stop 13.5 hour flight to Dubai, then I opted for a layover of 8-daylight hours to re-explore Dubai (I'd originally ventured there in 1986).  Then that evening, the flight was 8 hours to Kuala Lumpur arriving early morning.  Spent 2 days and 1 night in a hotel before the final 5 hour flight to the Maldives . . . The homebound journey included briefer visits to both KL and Dubai, plus stopovers in Colombo, Sir Lanka and Karachi, Pakistan.       >>Jump direct to these photos>>

Into Iceland

A spectacular cruise on SilverSeas M.V. Silver Whisper sailing in August 2003 from London-Tilbury to the Isle of Wight, Penzance in Cornwall, Dublin Ireland, north to Portree on the Isle of Skye in Scotland . . . then out into the North Atlantic to Denmark's Faeroe Islands and finally around Iceland.

Ireland

Traveling to the Northwestern Counties

Exploration in June 2003 was to parts of the country that typically close down to tourists outside of the summer season . . . Co. Sligo, Donegal, Mayo, and a return again to Co. Clare.  Plus a short drive into Northern Ireland for the first time to visit Co. Fermanagh and the incomparable Florence Court, now part of the National Trust.

Thanksgiving 2002 started in Dublin adn then headed south through Counties Wicklow, Wexford, and across Tipperary, Galway finally ending in Co. Clare.
