If you dive and have the opportunity - Go to Tioman!  It is beautiful and at least all the spots we dove were gorgeous and relaxing dives.  Take a look at the photos from land in the Tioman, Malaysia album!

I often forget to take photos here....not this time.

This week's destinations....See photos.

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free,
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts,
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page, let every stage,
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Check out the Pretty Sydney album...

Zurich is a lovely place and despite the cold and snow is full of hospitality and beauty.  The Alps are fantastic!  I am sad to leave but hopefully I will also be able to leave my horrible cough behind! See the Davos photos and Swiss Snaps.

A bit of diving in Manado, Indonesia.  Beautiful place, beautiful people.  Great diving and great dive buddies. Check out the "Visions of Manado" photo album.

Meetings strengthen souls

Pouring over sparse detail

I am tired now

Last day of the month

One dropped off at the airport

Only seven days

My winter haiku inspired by the photos in the Snowy album.

Snow in Chicago

No snow in Seattle

Dogs go snowboarding 

The resolutions have been made and the travel plans are coming into focus...I think I can achieve every single one of them and it will be a great year! 

In the spirit of the day and after a 3:30 am conversation about the resoluteness of resolutions normally being poor.  I am working on formulating mine for the year!  More soon...I hope.
