:waving: Hi and Bye for a while since I'm going away on vacation. I won't be entering the next two waves of contests, so I'm a little sad. However, I'm excited about traveling and taking lots and lots of photographs. We'll leave New Jersey on Friday morning and will be gone for 10 days.

Travel plans = heading down towards Virginia (Rt. 15) - cross the mountains (maybe see some hillbillies) - passing through scenic areas of West Virginia - stop to see some rather spectacular white water rivers - spending some time at Scenic Railroad state Park- continuing through West Virginia - going through cathedral state park which has highest point in WV - also seeing covered bridge south of Grafton WV - head into Kentucky - see mammoth caves - may also see shaker museum - going thru Bowling Green - stopping off in Fairview KY to see Jefferson Davis birthplace (relative of mine - yup I have confederate blood running thru me) - Coburn KY to find original Col. Sander (KFC) cafe - following Natchez Trail into Tennessee - stopping by more hillbillies - naw just my parents - in TN stopping by Loveless Cafe from the 40s, seems interesting - stopping by Appalachian caves and also the lost sea caves - continuing towards Chattanooga cog railways - maybe hit Memphis TN- possible blue ridge mountains - continue heading up east towards home - depending on weather up east coast.

Nothing concrete - just packing the '71 Chevy camper :hippy: and going.

:bye:

Meanwhile, what's happening in Vienna today Siouxie?

I'm sitting here in my office waiting for the promised sunshine to break through the morning cloud cover so I can get all hot and sweaty for the rest of the day. Maybe over lunch I can do some image searching for that killer OoB* image I haven't yet found ..... Hmmmmmmm thinks .....

*I found some great pictures of the Ariane space rocket but they were all copyrighted :(

*G* hoi Dave, here in Vienna it was very cold in the morning (about 8 Celsius - 46.4 Fahrenheit), but now the weather is fine, sunny but not too hot, about 24 Celsius (75.2 Fahrenheit).

This is my first day at work after holiday and i miss my holidays very much, but i¥m looking forward to next years, and on it goes working :)

In the evening i¥m going to my first real Parentsevening (don¥t know how it is called correctly) at the school of my son, a little bit nervous about it - i¥m so glad i don¥t have to go to school no more :D

Don¥t get me wrong school is wonderful, lots of friends and fun, but i always hated the tests and the stress, but when your getting old, you only remember the good sites of school ...

I'm back! We had a great time. Now I have to find the time to organize the many many photos that were taken. We did almost everything on our intinerary plus some fun additional stuff. The weather was fabulous with the exception of the one day we got the edge of Ivan. Ivan pointed out a few leaky spots in the camper but nothing too large. Besides I always wanted to sleep on a waterbed.

As with all days following a vacation, I'm pretty busy catching up at work and home but I promise to get some pics of the trip posted soon.
