Phuket Update
I’ve been here five days now. I’ve mostly been diving or doing course work for my rescue diver certification. I did get to Patong Beach once, and it was quite an experience. Tomorrow I’m going diving on a boat where we’ll be doing four dives in one day, including my first night dive. I’m doing …
In the Blue Mountains
I am currently in Katoomba, New South Wales. The drive to here from Canberra wasn’t that far, but it took me four hours. I got lost leaving Canberra because I couldn’t find any clear signs in town showing the way out, nor was there any sort of clear indication how to do it on my …
Tokyo Drift
I’ve been in Tokyo for two days now and haven’t done a thing. I’ve really just been processing my mound of photos. I’m still not totally done, but I’m far enough for my satisfaction. The problem of uploading that many photos at once is it is usually too many for people to look at all …
So, about that Musandam thing….

Welcome Back Qatar
I arrived in Qatar safely. There wasn’t much to the actual flight itself. It was only an hour in the air between Dubai and Qatar. Time spent in the airport waiting for the flight was much longer. The Dubai airport is very nice and on a par with what I’ve seen in Hong Kong and …
Taking Care of Business
I think I’ll be in Hong Kong for a few more days. I have resolved myself to not leave here until I am caught up on my photo processing and have gotten ahead a few posts. My cold is for the most part gone. I have finished all my photos from South Korea and have …
Borneo Burnout
I’ve been really tired since I’ve gotten back from Mulu. I’ve also had rashes on my arms and legs. I don’t know if they are related. I have a bunch of photos I still have to upload that I haven’t been able to because of poor bandwidth. I also have several long posts ready to …
