 I live 90 miles from there, so I've been like 100 times.  Kinda fun, overrated, way too expensive, way too crowded.  Meh.

 Alaska, 2012

 London is an amazing city.

Very interesting place/story.  America's Stonehenge.  

 Didn't get out of Ontario.  Lots, lots more there I want to see, but it's a start.

 Very interesting city.  Got lost there, too, so that's another bucket list item!  LOL  Couldn't take pictures in the red light district.

Not much of a gambler, so it was so-so for me.  Lots to see, though.  

 Alaska, 2012.  Gotta dress for long periods in sub-zero weather.  Lights VERY cool.  Sorta makes you feel stoned!  HAHA

 Rode it night time, which was pretty interesting, but I wish I had also done it in daylight.  Oh well, just another reason to go back!  ;-)

Discovery Cove - Orlando, Florida.  Amazing animals.

 Don't neglect the interior.  Alaska cruises are awesome, but the interior is very different from the coasts.

Me, Ben, standing in front of Big Ben.  Get it?  lol

 Stayed in a tin-roofed shack built on stilts directly on/IN the Amazon River.  Our hosts prepared dinner for us as well.  Our sleeping quarters (hammocks) were in the blue building.

 At the Cafe Du Mond, of COURSE.

 AMAZING Egyptian collection.  Probably the best outside of Egypt itself.  Also has the Rosetta Stone.

 In 1994, I appeared on Wheel of Fortune.  I won three consecutive shows, and won cash and prizes valued at $75,000.  :-)  Sorry for the horrible photo quality, it was taken from a playing TV of a degraded videotape c...

 Lotta work, little pay.  Still really cool.

 After 37 years of being losers, the Bucs finally won the big one.  And I was THERE!  I can die a happy man now!

If you take a river cruise, take one of the SMALL BOAT TOURS, NOT the huge boats.  The big ones stay in the middle of the main Amazon, which can be a mile or two from land.  The small boats go RIGHT INTO the rainforest and the ...

 Very, very cool.

 Where the Rio Solimoes and the Rio Negro meet to form the Amazon River proper.  They flow side by side in the same banks without mixing for many miles.

 Jazz-Fusion band "Chateau," 1980-1984.  Actually made a living at it for a few years there.

Effectively existing in two different days at the same time.....  Involves a fairly long walk up a pretty steep hill.  There must be betters ways of getting there.....

Scenery was SPECTACULAR.  Beer ......  kick butt.  Food ...... not so much.  lol  

 Ireland, 2000.  We were in second floor, room right above front door.

 Bruges.  Gorgeous.

Much cooler than I expected.  To get the full impact, see both the American and the Canadian side.  Riding the "Maid of the Mist" is an ABSOLUTE MUST!  Best part of the whole experience by far.

Did this with my son's high school band during a visit to London (from Florida, USA) over the New Year's holiday, 2010/2011.  Lots of fun, but kinda dangerous!  It's a very busy street, and I think all the tourists annoy the he...
