[Leica] Travel Snaps

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Thanks Ted. It was indeed a vacation/celebration to be treasured. I promised 
Jane I'd take her again on our 40th; hoping that and my charming personality 
will keep her hitched to me until then ;-)

As a testament to Jane's patience, she spent most of the shore trips 
wondering where the hell I'd disappeared to. These tour guides now use 
wireless listening devices to give their tours. I would use mine as a type 
of sonar; I'd lag behind looking and shooting, and when they started to 
break up on the earpiece, I'd start walking in the last direction I saw 
them. The signal would become clearer if I was getting closer and fade if I 
went the wrong way. Somehow I never got lost. Mostly just dumb luck...

And my goodness, huge congratulations to you and Irene! I know all your 
friends and admirers in attendance at the Leica Seminar will help celebrate 
your and Irene's wonderful journey together. How lucky you both are to have 
each other.  Keep working on getting to that 70th!!

Again, many thanks for looking and your kind remarks,
All the best,
Bob

Hi Bob,
Thank you for taking us along on the trip I had a wonderul time! :-) 
Enjoying photo moment after moment! There are so many interesting 
photographs in this selection it truly is difficult to select the best.
I would see one I thought was great only to move it and the thought to a 
sort of second choice on the next mouse click as another more moving 
enlarged on the screen!

I can imagine the chore, but a "nice chore" :-) working your way through 
3400 photos and I hardly think this selection is the final cut out of the 
lot. These are smashing good photographs.

I kept thinking "Wow I'd like to see that one on 13X19 paper size." 
"Jeeeessshhh look at that, wonderful!":-) Then going back and forth 
comparing image to image! I really did have a wonderful time on the trip! 
Thanks for having me along! :-)

These are without question, a celebration of a wedding date never to be 
forgotten! Congratulations to you and your wife. Now you've only got 40 more 
to go to catch-up to Irene and myself as we celebrate our 60th on the 15th 
of next month!:-)
Actually we'll be attending the Leica Seminar on the day! :-) I think it 
will be a celebration to remember also!

Good on you!
cheers,
ted
