Aloha
Just got back from a weekend golfing trip to Kauai. It was great. More details and pictures to come.
A friend won a golf trip to the Princeville resort and when he asked around for any golfers to go, I quickly volunteered. We selected the Thanksgiving weekend as the long weekend that wouldn’t eat up many vacation days.

Further Updates (a bit late?)
I have added commentary Pages to go with the photos. St Andrews and the Old Course so far.
I found this sitting in my Word Press Post directory. I guess I never hit the publish button????
The Colorado Trail
A co-worker gave a slide show yesterday of her 50-day hike along the Colorado Trail. It was part of our “Wellness” benefit. It was an inspiring slide show.
Lucy basically walked 10 miles a day and arranged for her support team to meet her on weekends to replenish supplies. Sometimes, some of the support folks would join her on the trail for a week and then head back with the following support team.
The trail covers a lot of territory between Denver and Durango. From the pictures, and from what I’ve seen of the land, it is beautiful scenery. It passes through a number of National Forests and Wilderness Areas as well.
I am so inspired that I may try hiking the Santa Fe trail. But I think I’d rather bike it.
But, it does remind me that Elaine and I need to get out next summer and spend some time camping in the mountains, to get rid of the rust and dust on our camping gear so we will be ready to use it when needed.
Late Breaking News
I have more pictures of Scotland! I developed the roll that was in my camera and found some more pictures of the Pollok Gardens and Park. So, I added them to the gallery with the other pictures. I thought I had more shots of the Gardens than originally published.
And the rest of the roll was pictures of my niece’s birthday party at the Santa Fe Children’s Museum. I created a new gallery for her called “Santa Faye” (her name is Faye).
Final Trip Report?
I have created the whole package for the trip.
Updated Scottish Trip
I have set up the Photo Galleries to segment the trip into different galleries per sector rather than trying to cram them all into one gallery. So, I have the: St Andrews-Touristy stuff, St Andrews- golf, London, Glasgow, Worldcon, and Scotland.
Next I will put all the links into an html page and link to it on the side bar. As I go through the different galleries, I see that I may want to distribute the pictures better so I don’t have 70 pictures in one section and only one section in the gallery.
