The past two days have been spent in Rhode Island; visiting my great-grandparents burial place and the house in Providence that my great-grandfather built.

Cross-country travels have led me back to my childhood happy place, Norwich, Connecticut; an historically-significant town in the eastern part of the state. It is the town where my father grew up and my grandparents lived for 40 years.

Anyone who truly knows me, knows I love to traipse through old cemeteries. The Old Norwichtown Burying Ground is the resting place of some of America’s early colonial residents and some of my distant cousins.

My most distinguished cousin here is Samuel Huntington; a signer of the Declaration of Independence, President of the Continental Congress and later Governor of Connecticut. Samuel was my 12th cousin, 6x removed.

No roots in Hawaii, but Waikiki Beach definitely feeds my soul.

Great presentation on the Isle of Skye. I have been to most places highlighted; including The Isles Pub, The Antlers and the Skye Museum of Island Life. I am only 4 generations from living the crofters life depicted.
