It has been 7 years since this webpage was updated. (Yikes!) Dale has spent the first year of retirement repairing, replacing, and adding to our now 20 year-old website. During that period, we moved to Kuala Lumpur and retired from teaching after 6 (Tracy) and 7 (Dale) years. The internet itself has changed dramatically during this time span. Speeds and bandwidth increased, cameras became capable of 360 degree images, and Virtual Reality was introduced. The webpages of the early 2000s gave way to social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter; this allowed for real time and up-to-the-minute postings. Text-based websites lost out to multimedia sites. This webpage straddles the divide between the early years of the Internet and its current capabilities. Many of the video and image maps from earlier days no longer worked; javascripts were abandoned for security reasons. All of this has been revamped, taking advantage of new sources of embedded media to supplement our content. Of course, new technology presents new possibilities --all in evidence throughout our website. The site is dedicated to exploring the world we have experienced thus far as international school teachers, and continue to explore as retired people! While our mission remains the same, the revamped website is divided into three sections:
- Legacy
Links: the pre-2010
web pages which have undergone rennovation, divided into Personal and Travel archives. These are colored
aqua
- New
Links: featuring
websites that were completed (or partially completed) by 2010 but not
uploaded, as well as current travels. Ty are colored beige
- Virtual
Traveler:
takes advantage of cutting edge (2019) technology to produce immersive
tours
on both your desktop or laptop, as well as via apps that use Google
Cardboard or similar Virtual Reality headsets. These are a reddish hue
