	Hong Kong Helen has family in Hong Kong and as part of my sabatical this year, we went to visit her family for two weeks. Hong Kong is a small area but there was lots of sights to see. (Nov 2006)
	New Zealand Sean and Catherine were getting married outside of Auckland and if you are going to fly that far to see a wedding, you should probably stick around and see more of the place. Saw some of the North and South Island. (Nov 2006)

	Vietnam Helen has family in Hong Kong so we both of us were already in south east Asia. We decided to take a local flight to nearby country and Vietnam came up number one. (Nov 2007)

American Cities

New Orleans I went to New Orleans to see Siggraph 2000. I spent most of the time at the conference but I did see a bit of the town. (August 2000)
New York City New York stands alone among US cities - it's huge foot print on culture, both better and pop, can only be appreciated by visiting the source of it all. (September 2000)
Seattle The nearest Big city to Vancouver, Seattle is remarkable because it's made of mostly the same stuff as Vancouver, it's just the recipe was different. (September 2001) I've been again, this time with hiking at Rainier (July 2007)
