Pearl Harbor Day - Dec 7th, 70 Years Ago
Hawaii is near the top of my Life List. The combination of mountains, beaches, volcanoes, culture, and adventure sports makes it a destination I have always wanted to see.
The Nina And The Pinta In Memphis
Replicas of the Nina and the Pinta were recently in Memphis. Being an avid reader and fan of History, I couldn't pass up the chance to see and experience the ships that brought explorers and settlers across the Atlantic to the New World.
If you missed it, here are some pictures of the ships.

Brad Thor - Full Black - Christmas Gift Guide 2011
Christmas Gift List 2011
Brad Thor - Full Black
If you haven't read a Brad Thor
book, you are missing a great active author. Hurry and get started reading him before all his books are made into movies. The first will be out in the next year or so.
I recently finished his newest; Full Black: A Thriller (Scot Harvath)
.
All of Thor's books are action packed and based around a special operator named Scot Harvath who defends America from our modern threats and Full Black is no exception.
I highly recommend Full Black for almost anyone on your gift list this year. ($16)

Map head by Ken Jennings - Christmas Gift Guide 2011
Some travelers like to obsess over how many geographic regions or countries they have been to in the world, their "life list". If you are in this group or if you or someone you know if like me and can stare at a map for an hour, I found the book for you.
Ken Jennings won a thousand (estimate) rounds on Jeopardy and now puts his thoughts into the funny things that appear in maps, such as why borders look the way they do, in his new book Maphead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks
I didn't know he was a Geography wonk but it makes sense. Learning borders both political and physical is a key to learning why things and cultures are why and where they are.($15)

Americana and Cars
Saw the car from one of my favorite current commercials recently. Had to get a few shots of it. I can just picture George Washington flying the American Flag out the window.
