Wonderful flower, Carin! Great shot and I'm glad it survived the winter's blast Sounds like you'll be having a lot of fun! I don't think I have to remind you to take a lot of pictures, do I?

An excellent macro of the most beautiful hibiscus I've ever seen, Carin, and I've seen a lot of different varieties. But, what's this? No Los Angeles, San Diego, or even Southern California in general on your trip? It appears your itinerary is oriented mostly toward the northern section of the United States. In any event, have a safe and sane trip.

Gorgeous summer shot! You do know you're going to need a lot of much warmer clothing than you're probably wearing now, right? Have a wonderful trip and I'm very much looking forward to meeting you!

This is a fantastic shot and I'm synchronizing my watch. What a shot this is and what an schedule. That's a lot of traveling to do...and it's gonna be FUN! I'll do my best to make sure Chicago behaves itself when you get here. Chicago doesn't listen to me, but still... Oh, and by the way, I love this shot! Ah, and January in Chicago...? Bring longjohns!
