While Gary is on his way to Antarctica he is at the mercy of very slow internet. Since it is difficult for him to post, I thought I’d take this opportunity to look back at the posts and daily photos from last year that received the most traffic. Is your favorite from 2011 on the list? – Amy the Assistant
A Year Traveling with the iPad
This is an overview of my year of traveling with an iPad. I’ve taken it overseas, used it on road trips, navigated with it on city streets and used it on the beach as well as in the mountains. I’ve probably done as much as anyone has in terms of traveling with this device since it was launched in 2010.

I ended up picking a list of things which I remember vividly and had and impact on me at the time I did it.
My 13 Most Wanted Destinations
I do not have a bucket list. If I did, I’m sure most of the things on that list would have been crossed off by now. That does not mean, however, that I do not have goals or a priority list of things I’d like to do. The following list is of the 13 places I would most like to visit.
Riding the World’s Highest Zipline in Puerto Rico
The parks has 15 zip lines, monkey bridges and even had the opportunity to do some rappelling.I had never done any of those things before, so it was new experience for me. The highlight of the day was The Beast. It is a 4,745ft (1.45km) long zip line which is about 900 ft. above the forest floor at its highest point.
