A recent visit to Tbilisi Georgia: These are the Turkish baths.

A recent visit to Kenya. I had a wonderful opportunity to go on a safari.

[jolinar of malkshor]

More Kenya:

A few more. If anyone gets a chance to do a safari in Kenya or Tanzania, do it.




The next two are hard to see but they are Rino's.

If you look closely you can see a hipo's head.

Feel free buddy.

Awesome pics. I really wish I could travel more. I've basically only been to the US and Mexico.

Lots of great photos here. I really need to do some traveling.

As for my guess, political personal protection, technically a law enforcement position (RCMP provides I believe), could include lots of travel depending on the person being protected, and long, strange hours, could also have something to do with why you'd have to call CSIS, background checks of foreign contacts, or reporting something interesting, or...

I know my guess won't be confirmed or denied but that's what I'm thinking...

Recent visit to Sydney.

A recent visit to The Gambia. The first picture is on the Gambian river. The second picture is the oysters that attach themselves to the roots of the Mangroves. The next two are the stacks of oyster shells at the sides of the roads.

The next two were taken at my hotel. One from the lobby, the other from the beach.

On my way back from The Gambia I was lucky enough to be invited to sit in the cockpit of the A340-300 for the final 30 minutes of the flight including the landing. We are flying into Brussels. I have travelled on more than 200 flights and this was the first time I was able to experience this. It was very very cool.

But if you really can head to the Okavango delta in Botswana.

Seriously, how do I become a guy who travels around on planes, possibly with a gun, possibly with a license to kill?!

You have to be RCMP...

But before they take to the air, officers hone their skills on the ground at an Ottawa-area warehouse. On the outside, it's nondescript. Inside, it's the airport from hell, where mock hostage dramas, hijackings and attempted bombings play out weekly.
There's a departure lounge, complete with a check-in counter. A "jet-way" takes one into the expansive cabin of a DC-10 wide-body jet – a real one, its wings sawed off to fit the building. Two other aircraft – a narrow-body Boeing 727 and a small private jet – are housed in the same warehouse.
The seats are filled with mannequins playing the part of would-be travellers. Many are peppered with bullet holes, a testament to the reality of the training.

Well that sure is cooler than me sitting on the "flight deck" of a Dash 8-100

Regardless, one of the coolest experiences of my life
