Makes me want to go out, buy an RV and go see all the lighthouses in the world! I love lighthouses, and to have so many in one place, even if they're "just" replicas, is great! Thanks, Samantha.

Cool idea, lighthouses all over. Do boaters on the lake count on them, or just for fun?

They are cool to see. Some are just for fun, but many of them do actually light up to help the boaters.

Bottom picture, love the hat. I want one.

If I can find it, I'll order two! Anyone out there with a millinery connection?

Some wonderful pix of Australia that bring back so many memories of my visits Islandman I could look at those rock formations for hours. Looking into a million years of history. Australia is certainly like nowhere else on Earth and every day is a fascinating adventure. Certainly is a well written comprehensive Blog you've presented. I've enjoyed it. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this interesting and most beautiful roadtrip with us, Islandman! Another one for my bucketlist.

Wow Islandman ,thank you for this blog. it really moved Australia up on my list. When i saw your photo of the Loch Ard Gorge i immediately thought of the Calanques near Marseilles, France .

Imagine a triple-decker plane that could carry 800 passengers, made almost no noise, and generated much of its own power in flight. Barcelona designer Oscar Vinals is working on that vision, and while much of it depends on whether technologies just...

Recently my wife and I traveled across Montana by car.  It's a large state with some amazing mountain ranges and lots of wide open plains -- the "Big Sky" country the state is known for.  The sun was beginning to set when I spotted a group...

If only that plane could also take us to the moon, then all my dreams would have come true. PHeymont, you and I will never see anything like this in our lifetimes. But I like dreamers and maybe in time technology will take us there.

I couldn't sleep on a plane like that. The fear of hitting a storm and having to turn off all the lights to conserve energy. Or being stuck in Atlanta - again - waiting for days for the bad weather to clear - to charge the batteries.

DrFumblefinger stops to enjoy a puppet show in Jaipur, India.

With Samantha as our guide, we continue the tour of Lake Havasu's unique attraction: large-scale replicas of famous lighthouses.

DrFumblefinger passes Walker Lake, a large natural lake in Nevada's Great Basin Desert, when a strong wind ripped clouds of sand from the desert floor.

Australia is a vast country, and, if you have ever been there and traversed it in some way, you will appreciate the sheer size and expanse of this island continent. The best way I have discovered to see the true beauty of this country is to drive...
