Have a lovely holiday Steve and we look forward to the photos when you get back! Hope your birthday and anniversary celebrations are great too!!

OH rang me from the office in Calgary at 7.30am to say it was snowing hard there - only the finest icing sugar dusting here at that time and now that has all gone! Even though we are just to the south of Calgary! Wierd!

The trouble has just begun.

Next he is going to want more lenses then it will be I want some "L" Glass.

Seriously tell him congrats on his new acquisition and I hope he gets as much fun out it as I get out of mine.

I shall look forward to some pics.

As long as it is limited to Oahu that's OK.

We'll be on the Big Island getting gassed by SO2 from the Volcano.

I see the park reopened today so it's safe for now.

I thought you meant permanently!

Can't wait to see the photos when you get back - unless you decide to stay there! In which case you can still post the photos.
