Vacation 2011 plans

[Steve]

You should! My hat is always my stand-in when no one is around to get a shot of me. For me, it's turned into an ongoing series, always a great conversation starter.

Italy:


India:

Excellent, Steve, I like it! I may have a whole new dimension in my travel pics from now on.

Great pics!

Back from the Mediterranean!

Here are some of the over 600 pix

Coming into Pisa



The famous Tower



My family in front of said tower



Tossing a coin into the Trevi fountain



At the Roman Forum



Inside the Colloseum



The intrepid archeologist in Pompei



In Barcelona - the Segrada Familia



I'll have to look through the others to find any other interesting shots.

Ciao!

[Blackthorn]

Good pictures, Charlie! How about a couple hundred more? More, more, more! What a fun place to cruise, eh?

[CharlieB]

OK, here are some more!


At the WWII memorial/museum in Toulon
My daughter and I in front of a vintage tank



Overlooking the port of Toulon
The cruise ship is just above my wife's head to the right



The cathedral and baptistry at Pisa (Tower is to the right of this picture)



Closeups of both





The Arno river by boat (Pisa)



Another shot of the Roman Forum (nothing funny happened on our way there, strange...)



One of my favorite shots of the Colloseum



One of the few picture from inside the Vatican that came out (the others were very dark)



Outside St. Peter's



The Forum in Pompei



Gaudi park, Barcelona



My wife and I in front of the ship, "Liberty of the Seas", 2nd largest in the world

Excellent, Charlie! You saw a lot that I didn't see, and that's always cool. I'm up for more, if you don't mind posting more!

Great pics, Charlie! I'm with friend Blackthorn, please post some more.

[CharlieB]

More Rome!

[Cousi]

All these great shots make me wonder how much of our architecture and art will survive a thousand plus years? Will future tourists be looking at Mt Rushmore and remembering how they were leaders of a great society? Will the White House or the Jefferson Memorial still be standing, even if in ruins?

All of you are VERY lucky So and so's! I've got plenty of leave for a vacation but anything taken over 7 days must be applied for 6 months in advance.. My wife has plenty but due to her work she doesn't KNOW whether she could take a vacation with more than a 1 month notice.. the result is we haven't taken a vacation (more than a couple of days) for YEARS!

[Cousi]

I feel for you David. Its one thing to see these great trips and wish you could afford it and its quite another to see them and realize even if you could, it'd be almost impossible to plan.

[CharlieB]

My wife an I decided along time ago not to spend our money collecting things, but memories.

I hope you get to go somewhere you're dreaming of as soon as you can!

[Blackthorn]

I really like that new avatar pic, Charlie!
