Vacations

Usually, we take at least three or four vacations each year, some just a few days and some a couple of weeks.  We love to travel, particularly in the U.S., as we can do "road trips" here which we both enjoy.  Generally, we stay in mid-priced hotels, often chains like Best Western, Holiday Inn and Comfort Suites.  As we tend to spend very little time in the rooms, and do not need much in the way of hotel facilities, these serve admirably.  They also tend to have refrigerators and microwaves in the room which is very useful.  In late August, 2011, we fulfilled a long-term ambition to visit Alaska, and plan to repeat the trip during 2012

While away, we make a point of trying to visit any local lighthouses.  Most are not open to visitors at all, or have separate visitor centers, and a few are in private ownership.  Still, it is fun trying to get the photographs.  Generally, we add only lighthouses we have seen and photographed ourselves, though there are a few exceptions. 

We used to maintain a photographical record of all our vacations on the web site, but this has proved to be far too time consuming.  Thus, I have decided to record only the limited selection shown at left.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.
