At last! Now I've no WORK commitments I can comfortably do a LONG U.S. vacation.
So, Vicki for about 5 weeks, but before that a "sidetrip" to southeast Ohio, to meet Debbie and quite a number of the "DazzlerArcade" gang.

wow, Ian, i happen to see your post today on my gmail account, so I came over here to see the details. That is quite a trip, and quite a long-distance bus trip -- cutting across all of US !!!!!
It has been a very long time since you and i have chatted. I don't use Yahoo messgenger too much any more, most of the time I am logged on to Skype now-a-days and you are not on Skype - at least not onm y Skype list!
While you are in Ohio, you could have just come on down to Naples, Florida and visit with me for a few days -- this is an wonderful - blue sky, white sand beaches and hundreds of golf courses, beautifully landscaped, wide streets -- little city!
Hope we will chat soon again.

Hiya PK . . . after 4 years or more!
Good 2 hear from U - like you I don't use YM any more (except occasionally for voice chats with Vicki). I am on Skype - "Eagle_Kiwi", but I neverr really use that either - recently retired (and loving it!) I spend almost 24/7/52 on DazzlerArcadecom playing games and TEXT chatting with the folks there.
As far as extending my trip, I did briefly consider stretching just a LITTLE way to Dodo in Phillie and/or Doris in MA, and also have a good friend 'Nana' in Alabama, but these were all just too ambitious for my main focus . . . so . . .maybe another time. Who knows ?
I hope life is treating you and your wife well.
Cheers,
I a n
PS I TRIED to do an "Audio Reply" here, but seems it just isn't working. Shame, cos I always thought THAT was perhaps THE major benefit of dear old Multiply. Oh well, c'est la vie.
I think the last time you went to the US you came by to see me in Tennessee. Or maybe that ws the time before last. I'm in WA now, that's Western Australia, not Washington State. But anyway, enjoy your trip and be safe.
