9 - 10 April Boston, Massachusetts	If you're ever in Cambridge, MA, stop by Mr. & Mrs. Bartle's for a "Monica Lewinksy" hamburger and an "Elvis Presley" frappe! Friday, 10 April was opening day for the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Since Friday, 10 April is associated with two major religious hollidays (Good Friday and Passover) the decision was made not to sell beer at Fenway Park on opening day...but all the neighboring bars are expecting to do record business!
16 - 27 April Duxton Hotel Milson's Point, North Sydney New South Wales, Australia Here's a view from the Duxton Hotel. Look closely and you can see Sydney's two famous landmarks -- the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.	This place was really packed on ANZAC Day, April 25, 1998! A ticket for a ride on the famous Sydney Harbour Ferries!

28 - 31 August Ocean City, MD	A Tale of Two Cities On 31 August 1998, I managed to spend some time in two cities named Cambridge. The names are the same but that's about all they have in common. Cambridge, MD is a small city on the Chesapeake Bay "Eastern Shore" along Route 50 on the way to Ocean City, MD. Cambridge, MA, is across the Charles River from Boston and is the home of Harvard and MIT.
31 August - 2 September Boston, MA	The "Green Monster" On 1 September 1998, the Boston Red Sox hosted the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park. The highlight of the game was when a young pitcher that the Red Sox had just called up from their Pawtucket, RI farm team managed to hit future Hall of Famer Junior Griffey with his first pitch. Guess that's something he can tell his grandchildren someday!
6 September Baltimore, MD	The Inaugural Game Great stadium, lousy weather ...it was 94 degrees Fahrenheit! But a good time was had by all as the Steelers won 20 to 13!
20 - 23 September Camberley, UK	Camberley is about 30 miles outside of London in what the British call the "Southwest." Stayed at a hotel named the Forte Posthouse in Farnborough, UK, which is the home of the famous Farnborough Air Show.
23 - 26 September Charenton, France	Charenton is a suburb of Paris. It is a close-in suburb which is located along the East bank of the Seine River along the Periphique. The Periphique is a highway that is similar to the Interstate highways, or "Beltways" that ring most major American cities. Stayed at the Tulip Inn Quai De Seine in Ivry-Sur-Seine. Ivry-Sur-Seine is across the Seine River from Charenton.
5 - 15 November Sydney, Australia	On this trip, did it all ... Planes, Trains, Automobiles, and Ferries! To see some of what I saw, take a look here.
17- 20 November Austin, Texas	Austin is the home of the UT Longhorns and 6th Street, Live Music Capital of the World.
