madd dogg likes my photos.

I was eagerly awaiting this report as I remembered you wrote about a trip scheduled for the beginning of June. Glad you had a profit.

As a former teacher myself, I can appreciate the fact that you were so nice to your former students. It is even nicer that they think so much of you to want to spend some of their time with you.

Maybe we will finally meet in August. We have reservations August 12 at Paris. We are usually a fixture at the Diamond Lounge bar, lol.

Loved your TR as always. Wish there was less time in between installments.

And, absolutely loved your comment about discovering cucumber salad!! Ha. That has always been one of my favorite picks at any buffet. How did you miss out all these years?!

Wonderful report as always, JMan.

Did the time share people get in your way much at the Westgate? Hope not.

Wonderful photos, and so nice of you to treat your students. They've gotta love you!

ddd228: That is a very kind offer, but I'm pretty happy with my camera. What it lacks in quality, it makes up for in convenience fitting easily in my pocket. I did buy a much better quality camera about a year and a half ago, but it was larger, and I had to carry it around my neck all the time...I hated it.

I did finally get around to fixing that picture.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words.

I have carried around a large camera B-4 and it's just too much!
Cargo pants is how I roll:LOTS of pockets to carry stuff.
I bought an expensive smart phone and it has a great camera!
Thanks for sharing your photos,Jon.

I really like the way you write. Book coming out,soon?
Put me on the pre-order list please.
I also want it to be a signed copy.
Thank you.

Jon, did I miss your July and Aug trip reports, or are you only posting on the paid side?
Getting ready for a short Labor Day VP tour next weekend and I was cruising through, looking for TRs.
