I realize that Dolly will do the official "Thank you" post, but I want to give an unofficial thanks for this thread and the great pictures. When I was younger, I was determined to get to Alaska. If my career hadn't taken some bad turns about twelve years ago, I'm sure that I would have visited someday. As it is, I realize that I may never get there. In any case, seeing your pictures has been fun. I've had a little chance to experience this great place through your eyes and cameras. Thanks to proud_yank for being the official host and to snugs for starting us out on Friday. Thanks to thackney and Mama_Bear for contributing pictures. Dolly, thanks for keeping all of this stuff going.

Well now, you never know. I thought I would never get to Australia. It seemed as far away as the moon to me, but I have always wanted to go there. As fate would have it, our Rotary club paid our way there a couple years ago to attend the Rotary International Convention as the representatives from our community. It was as 'out of the blue' surprise that just fell into our laps. So, see? You really just never know.

I am glad you enjoyed the pictures and it's a pleasure meeting you, WFTR.

No problem Bill. Sorry I haven't been around more this weekend. I really need to get more of my photos online!

Thanks to Dolly & Snugs for all their help too. Without folks like yourselves, FR wouldn't be the place it is!
