I would offer you all my telephoto lenses, but we are going back to Alaska, so will need them to get more Moose, bear,sheep, and fox shots, the animal kind!!

we just got tired of having to worry about a very expensive camera and lens when going on the attractions!! If the Point and click gets broken, we can take the memory stick out, and get another (cheap) camera!

What kind of equipment do you have?

Now I know why you could not visit with me, you poor thing in so much agony. I hope the story gets better.

I have an old Pentax and Canon 35mm bodies, DW has Nikon body, 500mm and 300 mm telephotos as well as half a dozen lenses, 50mm, fish eye, wide angle, and so on. Havn't use them in over a year, but are going to take them on a cross Canadian train trip. Thought about going Digital so I could keep and use the lenses, but I still like to get some ilford film and shoot away!

(DW also has a hasselblad, but hasn't used it for many years, probably needs a good cleaning and upkeep, as do all our stuff!!)

Ralph did offer to bring me food, but by that time, I was not hungry and it so much pain, I just wanted to sleep.

Digital is the way to go :) I was in a store today using a gift certificate my buddy gave me at Christmas and was drooling over the 70-200mm F/2.8L IS. It is only $1,699. Anyone care to get me that as a late Christmas gift ;)

Aw susi I can feel your pain. Back in 2003,my best friend and I went to DL about a week before Christmas. It was cold,wet, and rainy. That would have been tolerable except that about midday,I developed a really sore throat and got really woozy. I ended up having to lie down at First Aid for a while. :(
Unfortunately this was one of the few times that we bought tickets (as opposed to being signed in.) and I tried to get my money's worth. I was sick throughout the rest of Christmas. No fun!
My mom has severe back pain too. So bad she has to have surgery now.(I don't know when) She is in so much pain sometimes that she can't get out of bed. :( It's too bad the people at Goofy's Kitchen were not more accommodating.
The tree you got was adorable!
