taking 20 rolls 36 exposure in this am. will have back this afternoon.

I'll try to post somethng this evening.

-Cheers

PS: if I didn't shoot slides, we wouldn't have a slide show on friday night.

You could have gone too Bob.  What was stopping you?  Was it the two skiing holidays you've been on this season?   :P

I keep trying to get there but somehow I never seem to get enough brownie points. Apart from that my company are a bunch of tight bastards when it comes to holdays

BTW how's the new growth coming along. How about a picture and an update on how much you have raised so far.

Hi D

I did not think you were back until the weekend.

Hope the travel back was good

Hi Martini,

No such luck I'm afraid.  I think if I'd stayed the whole week my bank manager would have had a hernia.  ;)

Flight back was brilliant as the plane was empty.  Three seats all for me so I stretched out and slept all the way home.  No jet lag to report.   ;D

Dx

Hi

Like you say it is not a cheap trip, I thought I had lost $200 then remembered changing it at the airport - doh.

I had leg room again on the way back slept for an hour max then had to wait over for hours for my flight to guernsey. I was nodding in the airport and then when the plane started to take off I was awake but by the time the wheels were off the ground I was asleep, slept most of the flight, 35 mins, I then went through to midnight! bloody stupid, 6 hours sleep then up for work.

Still knackered.

Martini...

Martini, don't worry about the lack of sleep just think of it as a practise run in preperation for June

The $200 was the tip for the taxi driver...

Been trawling through the 2,500 fotos and there are some goodies in there  ;) .. will be sorting the CDs this weekend and mailing to qualifying members (i.e. Sebring attendees!) next week hopefully.

Might be prepared to extend the offer for suitable beverage remuneration at the Poo Bar on the 17th June  ;D

The smokie has landed.

It's Mothers Day here so I can't stay now but will get and post updates at a later time.

Suffice to say I wil be doing the trip again  :)

And a quick thanks to all the US contingent (and Canada Phil) for their help & hospitality, which was stunning...

Oh, and the new camera doesn'yt eem to want to connect to the computer so uploads will not happen until I have acquired an SD card reader...


And to quote Turn 10 "what happens in Sebring stays in Vegas!!!"  ;D ;D ;D

Hmm, you obviously have some terrible indiscretion you are trying to conceal.  Now we have to do some serious digging to find out what it is!

Had a surprise visit yesterday afternoon form Smokie and Steve - on their way to the airport. They very kindly deposited all their undrunk (can't take it back, you see).
A very generous gesture Lads - many thanks. I'm particularly impressed because there isn't a can of babies beer amongst them!
Pleased you got home safe Jeff/Steve - see you in June (God and USINS willing)

Are you visiting the Sarthe Matt?

Are you visiting the Sarthe Matt?

I sincerely hope so Robspot. Due to a change of employment, I had to change my work visa and until I secure an visa appointment at US Embassy in London, it's not wise to leave the country - so I'm in the hands of the US Immigration authorities - if I get the appointment before June I'll be there - if not, I'll have to sit it out (again). I've been going to Le Mans for a good few years so it's not fun missing editions out - but one has to prioritise, tha knows...

Happy safe return to all I met.  Doris, Steve, Smokie...

Again, a big thanks to Steve Brown for lugging my CA shirt along then delivering it to my campsite.  Now that's exemplary service, and certainly better than I deserve!

Also, thanks for honoring my request to down your beers and leave the empties at our site.  The YFDS beeramid V2.0 would not have been the same without your help!
