Travel archive | Idle Wandering

Notes for a future me: places I've been to, what it was like to be there, what I was like, what it was like to live then and there.

Started with London and Glasgow, turned into the West Highland Way, then wound down in Fort William and Edinburgh.

A shorter split trip: a few winter days around Washington and New York, then back to Amman.

A split trip: Geneva and the Bernese Oberland first, then Amman for the back half.

Cancun, Tulum, Coba, Chichen Itza, Merida, Valladolid, and Playa del Carmen. Very hot, very good food, a lot of moving around.

Mostly Amman, with Petra, Wadi Rum, Madaba, Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea, and a lot of event-related family time mixed in.

A lot of trains, a lot of walking, and a route that kept moving from Sapporo down through Tohoku, Hiroshima, and finally Tokyo.

Zurich and JFK on the way in, then Nairobi, Naivasha, and safari days around Ol Pejeta and Samburu.

Started with JFK and a short Beijing stop, then turned into trains, tea, sakura, onsen, Hiroshima, and a first long solo run through Japan.
