I
was born in North Carolina and lived there until I was about 2 or
so. My father was in the military, so we moved every year
or two. We lived up and down the east coast, in Arkansas,
Germany and Kansas, before he retired in 1980. I attended
Manhattan High School (in Kansas) and college and law
school at the University
of Kansas (Go Jayhawks!!).
I've lived in Alabama, Georgia, Texas and California since leaving
my parents' home. I currently live in California with my husband
Kirk (even while we were on our RTW,
we considered California as home). My family
and friends are scattered all over the
place, as you can imagine.
My
husband and I are highly involved with our
church, locally. I have lots of hobbies, including cooking,
HAM radio, reading,
travelling, bzflag, and sports/outdoor activities. Although I love
to watch Jayhawk Basketball, I generally
prefer to participate. Some of my favorites are beach
volleyball, scuba diving, cycling,
rowing, swimming,
snow skiing, tramping,
surfing, off-roading, etc.
My
travels over the last few years have taken me to Costa
Rica, Hawaii,
Australia, Ireland, New
Zealand, and most recently, on a 15-country,
1-year round-the-world trip.

I got my new passport yesterday! My old, very used passport is now officially retired. Complete with holes in the face of it. However, its passing has spurred me to do a tribute to a decade's worth of travel. It would be much too much for a single post, so I've decided to dedicate a series of posts to a decade of travel - some work, some play, some fun, some not. So allow me to entertain you, bore you, or just generally talk to you about a decade in which some of my most important and interesting moments were spent traveling.
