Penguins, Pandas and Blue-Footed Boobies

Read about 3 of my favorite trips from 2023 - The Antarctic peninsula and the Weddle Sea; my first explorations of mainland China; and a very special sailing in the Galapagos Islands—selected by my 12-year-old grandson for our one-on-one trip together.

I was able to tick off another bucket list item by visiting the islands of Svalbard—an archipelago under the jurisdiction of Norway that sits above the Arctic Circle in northern Atlantic waters, sailing aboard Quark Expeditions.

These extraordinary creatures are not considered part of the famed Big Five which headline a traditional African safari. But they are iconic nonetheless and deserve focused attention from lovers of nature and wildlife. Read about my recent trip to Rwanda to visit these majestic creatures.

I have had the extreme pleasure of experiencing an African safari six times in over a forty-year span in both Eastern and Southern African destinations. Take a look at the destination through the lens of camera both in 1977 and again in 2020!

There are only a handful of destinations on the planet that offer immersion into a pristine natural environment—rare ones like our polar regions still remaining that can stir the human soul and kindle distant memories connecting us to the greater web of life.

BACKROADS provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with destinations in style and comfort by experiencing much of the journey by bike or on foot.  I had the great pleasure of leaving some footprints in the towns and countryside of Slovenia and Croatia on a recent BACKROADS hiking trip.

The 2017 Cadence Elite team was hosted this year in some extraordinary historic locales in Ireland and London.  While fierce arguments could be waged on which of these provided the finest experiences, the fondest for me was perhaps Ashford Castle.  We also visited The K Club, The Dorchester Hotel, 45 Park Lane, and Coworth Park.

I recently had the pleasure of escaping my normal routines into some remote corners of the Sea of Cortez.  A small expedition ship in the fleet of UnCruise Adventures was my home for this 7 night journey.
