Kent & Heather's Vacation Resume

"When in doubt, choose the Tropics!" - Kent Christian

Our first semi-annual trip-of-a-lifetime for 2009 was a 3-leg tour through Western Europe and Northern Africa by train, plane, ferry, bus, and camel. Leg 1 was a week of skiing in the French Alps. We then got on a train and wandered through Spain for a week, then took a ferry across the Straights of Gibraltar to Morocco for 8 days of sightseeing.

    Kent ski racing before and after... sometimes things change very little

    Look here for everything you ever wanted to know about Washington, D.C., my original home, Maui, Hawaii, my old new home (or my new old home), and back to Washington DC, my new new home.

    Finally, my former employer: YAFO Networks, Inc., my old former employer Corvis Corp. (which bought Broadwing and then became Level 3), my old programming company: Global Programming Solutions, Inc. of Maui, and my old old former employer NASA. And my newest venture: NAUTILUS Advisors.
