Hi everybody! Glad to be back, trust me, more glad than you can know. It turned out all in all to be one of the most rewarding and devastating vacations I've ever had. I've got to tell you, Cape Cod in Winter is beyond belief, I have tons of pics for you, Cody took his camera too and went crazy, very proud of him, he took great care of it, and took many interesting photographs himself. To top it all off, let me say, Colm fell down a full flight of stairs in the middle of the night and sprained his back and broke a toe, and I was robbed of $600. Otherwise, well, hell, you can't have it all! Be back soon after some sleep, Syyd

Hi, Syyd! I'm glad you guys had a good time on your vacation. Aw, well wishes to Colm. Hope there isn't permanent damage. (Except I guess for the $600.) Can hardly wait for the pics. :-) (*

Glad to see you're all okay! Welcome back, Syyd! Damn, the first trip to the US for me was to Arlington, MA......stayed there at a girlfriend's place, she took me to Cape Cod as well, was in april, but nice anyway. I can't wait to see your pics! It'll bring lots of memories back, I'm 100% sure ;) (PS if you can you should go to the Re-enactment of the capture of Paul Revere, and the day after, when the minutemen kicked some UK red coat butt =) That was awesome fun! Brought the wrong lenses, but it a GREAT event to take photos!) Damn, the US is a great place for photos ;)

UH. Rork. Jordy, and a couple others ( including Syyd I think ) are from the UK. BUT on a positive note. Since ySyyd went to the Cape I assume she gazzed upon the Rock of Gibralter. What did you think Syyd? ( Colm didn't sprain his ankle hopping the fence did he? ) Sorry to hear about the 600. Actually I felt pretty safe in that area. But perhaps I was lucky. Did you make it further up the coast? I suppose you guys took the time to see the National parks. I know I didn't. But I did pretty good with the time I had. Now for the stumper. Which picture did you like the best? Glad to see you made it back. Bsteph

Now I'm all confused! What do you mean the Rock of Gibraltar ? That's in the south of Spain!! And about the UK, I know.....but I can't imagine anyone from the UK feeling provoked/insulted by me reminding someone of the New England Minute men chasing 18th Century British red coats out of Boston ? Well, I'm all confused now, lol! You mean Syyd went to Spain, and not New England ?

Jeezuz, I thought I was following this thread quite well, but I think I musta got REAL drunk halfway through coz I lost the plot.... Anyways Syyd, hope Colm gets better quick! Does your home insurance not cover cash lost this way? I know in the UK it can. And good t'see the young 'un getting into the swing of things! Look forward to seeing his work too! (",)

I look forward to seeing the pictures from both of you.

Geez Syyd you have the worst luck. Welcome back. Post pics soon :)

Why in the world did I think Syyd was from NewYork or somewhere nearby? Poor Colm.....hope his back and toe heal up soon. I've never been to the Cape and I don't live that far away....heard it's crazy in the summer though, must have been nice and quiet.

Opps. I meant Plymouth Rock! Sorry about that Rork. Been hanging out on your Fantasy Island too long. Bsteph

:) Well, vaccations are supposed to be "not boring"! :) I guess you had the "not boring" part a little too much! Glad to have you home, safe and sound! Britt

Dear Syyd, it seems that you somehow have a "bad luck spell" on you...
I hope that the spell is broken this time, and wish you a quick recovery, esp. for your husband... :)

Cape Cod...
Wasn't that the place where Edward Weston (esp.), Ansel Adams, Minor White, and alikes visited so often and shot heaps of marvels..?

Welcome back dearest Sydder. We have missed you here. Cant wait to see your pics. And post few pics from Cody too. Best wishes for Colm. And, how is your mouth btw? (Can question like that be asked?) .n

Syyd IS from upstate NY and Colm is originally from UK LOL.

OH!!! I thought it was the other way around! Bsteph
