Marjorie at the Hotel Metropole, Hanoi253 viewsHanoi hadn't welcomed many tourists when we visited. We had reservations at another hotel -- built by Cubans -- and it was awful. We learned that the Hotel Metropole had just been refurbished and it was day one of its "soft" opening. We were there in a flash. Even in Hanoi Marjorie managed to fill a shopping bag.

Marjorie in a Wrinkled Yellow Dress250 viewsMarjorie standing on a coffee table in the Hyatt Hotel, Perth, Australia -- wearing a bit of a wrinkled yellow dress. We were in Perth to interview salespeople for Transax Australia.

Marjorie Waiting For Our Car in Las Vegas250 viewsAt the MGM Grand Hotel. Note that Marjorie is holding some dollar bills in her right hand -- you need to be ready with the tips in Las Vegas.

The Beach at the Sandy Lane Hotel246 viewsTaken from the water with my then-new Nikonos V underwater camera.

Marjorie in the City of Petra, Jordan - 1989245 viewsThe city of Petra grew rich from the spice trade. During the late Hellenistic and Imperial period local worthies engaged in what seems to us now a fantastic orgy of construction, carving Greco-Roman faades from the living rock. Marjorie stands near a few stone pillars.

Ho Chi Minh City "Museum of War Remnants" with a Helicopter244 viewsFrom the New York Times of July 1999: "The city's Museum of War Remnants, with its displays of captured weapons and its catalog of horrors, only recently amended its name, with changing times, from the Museum of American War Crimes." We were there before it changed its name. Our guide didn't want to take us, and felt very awkward about it all.

Marjorie and An Orange Juice243 viewsMarjorie giving me Stink Eye: "Put that camera down. Why are you always taking pictures of me?" I belive this was in Aqaba Airport, Jordan, in 1989. Marjorie gave me a trip to Jordan on the Concorde for my 40th Birthday. Our first stop was Aqaba, where they had a reception for us. Most passengers had a lot to drink, and there were a lot of poorly passengers on the hot bus in the later afternoon.

Marjorie Rides A Horse into Petra, Jordan239 viewsYou reach Petra through these narrow lanes carved into the solid rock. It is definitely something out of Indiana Jones.

Marjorie on the Beach at the Sandy Lane Hotel, Barbados239 viewsMarjorie relaxing under a blue umbrella. The trees in the background were manchineel trees, common near the beach in the Caribbean. One little worry: "Standing under the tree is hazardous if it is raining. The water passing through the leaves and fruit will cause burns and blisters if it comes in contact with your skin." Fortunately, it was sunny.

People I Don't Know, Somewhere in the Med238 viewsI took this picture when we were on our Windstar cruise in the Mediterranean. I don't know where this is, or who these people are. This is just a small part of an otherwise boring picture, mostly showing unattractive rocks and an unremarkable cove. But these people look so happy.

Marjorie at the Bolex Camera Factory230 viewsI always wanted a Bolex movie camera -- it was the "gold standard." When I finally could afford one, video cameras had taken over. Still, we found this little factory in Switzerland, and bought a new Bolex 16mm movie camera. I think they make them by hand, one at a time.
