Travelling and adventuring
I've been all over the world and done some pretty whacked-out
stuff. But I'm going to focus on places I've been to and some of the
cooler things I've done since I started my web server (mid-1993). In
the US, I've lived in Ohio, Maryland, California
and am currently living in Washington. Among
all the states I've been to in the US, I like California and Washington the best. I've listed here a list of
geographical areas that I've been to (inside and outside the US) with
some pointers to what is cool to see and do in those areas. In the
case of the some of the areas that I've lived in (or near), the final
link is a pointer to the more detail for that area. Otherwise, every
other item in this list represents some place or event to check out.
Some items include links to other detailed reviews I've written
(multiple visits with writeups are indicated by *).
