ARUND THE WRLD
"I lived a life most
of us can only dream of !"
Ernest Hemingway
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by
the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain
In 2004, I visited my 50th different country. I list

life. If there is no number, I was there just once.

have been to Denmark more than 25 times. From time to time I will put some new, hopefully

When you are on the sea of life, you never know where you are going to end up, how
you are going to end up, and when you will end up. I believe you should give it your best
and get as much out of it as you can."
Christopher Sheldon (1926 - 2002) - Captain of the sailing ship
Albatross, who took 15 students, 2 teachers, a cook and his wife on a field trip in 1961,
when the ship was hit by a freak storm and sank with Sheldon, 11 students and the teachers
surviving and inspiring the movie White Squall with Jeff Bridges portraying
