As far as photography and Flickr you will meet people from all over the world!!! We met some of our friends from England last summer when we drove 16,000 miles on holiday from Venice, FL to Anchorage and back. We spent 2 days at the Flatcoat National and met a lot of Flickerites.
Yes Flickr has brought the world into focus on a smaller scale :) Hope you have a safe and enjoyable visit here. Who are you taking home with you?????

As for taking photographs I use a Pentax SLR but still use the 3P method - point, push and pray LOL Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - the joy of digital is you can take hundreds of shots and just keep a handful.
But Viggo does not cuddle...he's more interested in playing. Spike,
Lefty, Jack and Rosie are all far snugglier than their daddy!
Gypsy cuddles on her terms. She sleeps on my head a lot, but if I pet her too much, she's gone lol. Today Stella had 2 paws in my lap and Gypsy got jealous. The next thing I knew I had Stella's 2 paws in my lap...along with Gypsy. It was a bit much :)
