I have contemplated whether or not to blog for sometime now. I have often wondered what would be the value to myself, and more importantly the greater public.
Well, I have finally decided to start, and for purely selfish reasons. If anyone else gets any value from this it will be a bonus.
So why have I finally embraced blogging so long after it became a main stream method of communication?
A few days ago I was having a discussion with a colleague about holiday locations an I was recounting a weekend I spent on the east coast of the US during an extended business trip to North Carolina.
The trip was about 20 years ago and although I can picture the beautifully simple hotel on the edge of the beach, the white powder sand, and the crystal blue sea, I just could not, and still can't remember the town or even the State!
Since then I have spent many hours using tools like Google Earth and Street View to refresh my memory, but I can only narrow it down to somewhere between Virginia and Myrtle Beach.
I do not have any email archives that go that far back, and I'm not sure that I would have had email at the time of the visit.
It is driving me slightly crazy, I would love to go back, this time with my family, but I have no idea where it is. So if anyone has any ideas based on my very general description I would gratefully welcome suggestions.
This rather strange circumstance was the catalyst for the creation of my Blog. I will start to document my interesting life events so that as age takes its inevitable toll on my memory I will have a record of all the fantastic places, and people I stumble across.
And so it begins.........
