Isn't that called "Summer break", Beth? ;)

Hi geminia I'm the loonatic she is coming to see in England :)

Geminai said...

Hi Malcolm .. I recognized your name. I'm SO jealous! Make sure to find a big, tall mountain for her to hike, ok?

Mal said...

Eh...........its England we dont do big tall mountains. Small stumpy ones yes :)

Geminai said...

Haha. Ok, then make her climb them multiple times .. after a long, long night in the pub. I keep trying to get her out here to the Sierra Nevada mountain range. I think maybe I've scared her! :)

wait wait... i feel some plotting going on ;)

Geminai said...

Plotting? Moi? ;)

(can't wait to hear about how your trip is going/has gone!)

Mal said...

I have a lot of stuff planned. stuff like getting in a car and getting lost. How much more fun do you want than getting lost? Specialy (I cant spell) in a strange country :) and none more strange than my neck of the woods :) Ever seen deliverance geminai? same thing here but do the music with bag pipes :)
Somebody report Beth missing..... she just might be yet.

Geminai said...

Oooh, I love getting lost in strange countries! (ok, well, MOST strange countries) :) When I lived in India for a year, there was no better way to get my bearings than getting lost. Worked wonders! I'm jealous of Beth's trips to meet up with you guys .. they sound wonderful. :) In all seriousness, I hope you have another truly fantastic time!

Mal said...

so jump on the plane with her she has a room booked :)

Geminai said...

Ha! Don't I wish. :) With trips to California, Colorado, the West Indies, and, coming up, Michigan, I think my boyfriend would shoot me if I tried to spend any more money on travel! I know how special these get-togethers are for Beth, anyway, and I would never encroach. But perhaps someday we can take a vacation near where you guys are, and at a similar time so that one or two days might overlap and we can all meet. I'd love it .. I love meeting new folks, especially photographers and people as friendly and wonderful as Beth has told me you are.

(how was that, Beth? Did I say it right? Do I get the FULL payoff?)
