Travelogues

 

“Exploring Strange New Worlds”

 

            While attached to the USS Providence for two tours, I had the opportunity to visit many new and interesting places, some of them overseas, some of them in the United States and its territories.  My fondness for these travels as well as my interest in the places I visited led me to write these travelogues, which give a peek at not only the history and culture of the places I visited while aboard the Providence, but my own personal insight into the things I found the most interesting during my travels.  And as a deeply in-grained Star Trek fan, it seemed logical to call my travelogues “Exploring Strange New Worlds.”

 

Special Note:  Not all the travelogues are complete.  Those still in the stages of being written or edited are included in the list but are not hyperlinked to the article yet.
