Liamsaunt - Are you back???

[jdw]

I think you were due back sometime this week from your two weeks in paradise. We missed you on the forum and can't wait to receive the first installment of your trip report - you always do a great job!! Welcome back!!!

today might be her travel day. and I think she was gone more like 3 weeks that lucky duck! she's going to have a LOT to tell us

I want to know what she cooked with all those spices!

From the sounds of her post today, this was their last day. Three weeks... wow. I hope she kept a journal

[liamsaunt]

Yes! We got back at 2 AM last night. John and I are going through everything now--we took over 2,000 photos and have a journal clocking in at about 150 pages, so I am going to need some time to sort everything out and edit a bunch before posting the report--plus I have to learn how to use my photoshop!

I have some food photos to share but so far a lot of them are a bit blurry. I'm only up to day 4 of photos though...

Looking forward to catching up with everyone!

Welcome back Liamsaunt! Can't wait for the pics and report! Did you get lots of your books read?

[Jerseyboy]

Liamsaunt, welcome back! 150 pages and 2,000 photos???

[liamsaunt]

Flip Flop, yes, we read a lot of books! I'll put some recommendations in my report.

Don't worry Jerseyboy, I am not posting all those photos! My trip reports are long, but that would definitely be overkill.

John took some video too, so I might see if I can figure out how to post it somewhere on the web and give a link to it, we'll see.

Three weeks!!!! Can't wait to hear about everything.
Didn't you stay at Argonauta? I know you move around a bit, so where else did you stay? See, I can't wait for a full blown report.

2,000 pix? You're my kind of travel companion! Can't wait till they're posted--well, at least a few of them.

[Kentuckygirl]

Wow ... 2000 pictures and 150 pages! I can't wait for my husband to see that! He thinks I take too many. I am anxious to hear all about your trip. I can't wait until we can spend 3 weeks! With 3 kids, and all of their activities, it will be a while ... but I'm ready to start planning!
I'll be watching for the report, and I'm glad that you had a safe trip.

[mbw1024]

I want to see ALL the pictures

At first I was feeling sorry for poor Liamsaunt....She wasn't even off the plane yet and people were hounding her for a trip report!

Then, when I hear 2000 photos and 150 pages of notes I think, Oh Man, that's a huge undertaking.

After thinking about it a little more, I guess the point is that by posting these trip reports you are reliving your trip, plus preserving your own memories and impresssions in a way that you might not have otherwise. On top of that, you're sharing it here with people who are just as excited about your trip report as you are. Quite different from when you try to show everyone at work your vacation photos and they pretend to be interested but could care less.

My point is, I no longer feel sorry for Liamsaunt that we're all hounding her for a trip report. Bring It On!
