But it looks full, So trying to get to a 6pm direct to NY but that look over booked then the red eye at 10pm but that also looks booked up.

| Awesome photo journal!! Especially like the S-turn photo; made for an SLK. Some of those shots with your baby close to the edge of a cliff make me a bit nervous. No Thelma and Louise stunts! |

| Thanks mate, the feedback makes me enjoying taking shots even more. The S is one of my favorites as on the camera it didn't looked very good. As I openend it on the laptop the road really stood out. Guess thats why they say never delete them just because they look crap on the LCD viewer.

| Hey Brian...you didn't happen to bring your "mountable" camera did you? Some video carving some of those "S" turns would certainly be a great addition to the "journal". Just a suggestion...not that you're lacking in anyway of what you've shot so far. Great virtual vacation for the rest of us!!

| no sorry mate, the video camera is in storage. Just had to minimalise what I could take on the trip as you know. Yes it would be awesome to get some video of those curves, specially when following a 911 untill he pulled over and let me by. In New york at eh moment, was going to continue the California trip on wed. but now considering visitng DC while i'm here.

| AH alas no car mate, Just flew over from frisco and my car is in frisco. Planning taking the train to DC and do the tourist thing as I may not get chance again. My Girlfriend gave me an awesome suprise, she met me from the gate as I got off the plane then walked me to another gate where we boarded a chopper to NY city. Was a superb trip and a great way to get on the island. Me excited before the flight ![]() Flyby of the south tip before landing on the pier.

| Brian -- how are you ever going to be able to get back to the 40 hour grind-- some people make a good living traveling and taking pic's that aren't half as good as your shots --- have a great time on the East coast -- keep us posted
