Traveling alone, not lonely.

Wordless Wednesday: Vancouver 2006

Once again, in the spirit of the Olympics, here are images from my business trip to Vancouver in Oct. 2006. It was my first and only visit and have to say, it’s one of the coolest cities I’ve visited. Enjoy.

Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park: Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk

Reading inspires adventure. After reading “The Orchid Thief” by Susan Orlean earlier this year, visiting Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park became a priority. I finally stepped foot in Florida’s largest state park and soon realized, I’ll need to make a return visit or two.
