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,
Washington and am currently living in New York. Among all the states I've been to in
the US, I like California, Washington, and New
York the best (not necessarily in that order). 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 asterixes (*)).
