Carcassonne is located in the south of France and can be reached by train from Paris via Bordeaux and Toulouse.

Depart Los Angeles harbor aboard the Lurline for the five day crossing to Honolulu. We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, one of three hotels on Waikiki. Yes, that is a picture of Duke Kahanamoku, who watched me part of the day while my parents attended a conference.

Mauna Loa had just erupted and flows had crossed the main highway ...

Most of the pictures were taken with Peter and Sheena Jenner of the Elisabeth ...

This is one of the most fascinating and hospitable places I've ever visited. I was treated as an honored guest everywhere I went. Most pictures were taken south of the capital of Tehran. Isfahan is located on the banks of the Zayandeh River and is full of beautiful mosques and minarets. Further south is the rose city of Shiraz, known for its poets, wine and flowers. Nearby is Persepolis, center of the Achaemenid Dynasty dating from the 9th to 6th century BC. Here you find ruins built by the ...
