About Well friends it's time for me to get on the road again and do some travelling. I won't have internet when I get on the road so I will be away from Usefilm until we settle somewhere again.

As you can see by this image Rod (my husband) is a firm believer in "The one with the most toys in the end wins". LOL hehe I guess we'll have to watch those low bridges huh! (haha)

My thanks to Ina Nicolae for allowing me to use her photo for this Desert Background.

Thanks also to all my friends here who have given me encouraging words and support in your comments on my images.

I will be around for another week or 2 to post comments only but this will be my last image posted for some months.

I hate long goodbyes so I will just say farewell for now until I return. I hope you get a chuckle from this image and it leaves you with a smile on your face.

Cheers to you all and thank you all.

Ann :)

Footnote: My apologies for this thread being so long. I don't usually make individual replies on my own image threads but because this is my last post here for quite some time (indefinitely) I wanted to make more personal individual replies. Sorry for false comment count reading. :)

Wow, Ann! Lots of wheels in there! I love it! It's a great way to travel, and to remember us UF friends wherever you go! WE'll miss you! I hope you will settle down soon in some sunny place, with internet access -LOL- Looking forward to your new pictures from your travels, and please keep a photo diary :) It sure was nice having you online :) Happy trails to you, Ina


p e t a .   {K:18103} 2/19/2006
Wow, what a wonderful adventure you two are living! Hope your next phase of travel is lots of fun! Look forward to seeing where you end up :) Good luck Ann - I'll send some Aussie sunshine your way!


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thank you Ina for all your encouraging comments and fun we've had since I've known you. Yes I will keep a travel diary and keep you posted of our travels. Thank you for your well wishes.

Cheers - Ann :)


Alicia Popp   {K:82471} 2/19/2006
Ingeniosa y simpática imagen!. Felicitaciones!!!


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thank you Peta. I believe you are heading this way soon too. If you see this circus on the road wave cause you'll know who it is. :)

Seriously though, we do have all the toys shown in this image but we only travel with the motorhome and blue jeep in tow.

Have a great trip to the US and make sure you too keep a travel diary. Will visit your portfolio again before I leave.

Thanks for dropping by.

Cheers - Ann :)


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 2/19/2006
This could be a great cover for a travel magazine!


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
More like a good advertisement for a circus Ina. LOL


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thank you for your visit and kind words Alicia. I will visit your portfolio before I leave.

Cheers - Ann :)


Bruce Harper   {K:5305} 2/19/2006
How come you don't have the internet set up in that rig - looks like you've got just about everythng else!

Have a great trip, looking forward to seeing the photographic results when you settle down again.


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Hi Bruce (Satellite - I wish)....It's because we have too many toys we can't afford the Satellite Internet system. (the irony-haha) Those things cost $3,000 for the dish and setup and up to $100 a month just for the service. I think with those prices we'll just utilise wireless Hot Spots when we find them.

Thank you for dropping by.

Cheers - Ann :)


Fadel J   {K:13542} 2/19/2006
Very nice idea and work, and goodluck in your trip :)


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thank you Fadel for your good wishes. Appreciate the visit.

Cheers - Ann :)


Gregory McLemore   {K:25057} 2/19/2006
Beautiful capture, very unusual, a great find, have a ball.


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thank you Gregory for your comment and good wishes.

Cheers - Ann :)


Larry Donnelly   {K:1103} 2/19/2006
Have a great new adventure, maybe it will be a new chapter someday, where's the bug in the picture by the way?


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thanks for dropping by Larry. If you're referring to a VW bug as in car. We did have one of those but we sold it. (haha) IF you are referring to photographic quality bugs...this image is full of them. (haha). I guess I could have included a giant lizard but I didn't want him eating the plane. It would have given him indigestion. :)

Thanks for the chuckles and cheers for now - Ann :)


johancharles boers   {K:4280} 2/19/2006
Ann,

Great one!!! The photo reminds of those PCS (military) moves to the next duty station...Are you gonna do some shooting while on the road? Well be safe in your travels and looking forward to seeing more of your photos in the future.

Best Wishes,
Chuck


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Hi Chuck...Yes I know what PCS means :) I take photos wherever possible. It's not always easy to park a motorhome with a jeep in tow (we don't really take the 2nd vehicle, boat or plane with us on these raod trips but we do have them). Sometimes the best photogaphic locations aren't easy to stop at with our rig so I lose the photo opportunity but I shoot what I can along the way.

Thanks for dropping by and for your comments on my images.

Cheers from Ann :)


Gabriela Tanaka   {K:17991} 2/19/2006
My goodness! You do have a lot of wheels! I thought you'd REALLY travel like this, in a convoy, until I read your comments below! It did bring a smile on my face, but one of amazement, thinking at how you'd park all these wheels at stopping places!!!
I believe everybody will miss your unbelievable comments......as I said before you'd make a good art critic!Sure, you'll not leave us completely! And I look forward to read and see your adventures in a nutshell.
Have a wonderful adventure and keep in good health!
Friendly regards,
Gabriela


Rina     {K:26519} 2/19/2006
Ann! This is WILD!! All you're missing is Priscilla!! lol

Love it... wish I was going with you!


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
The mind boggles at the thought of taking something like this road train on the road. We do only travel with the motorhome and the blue jeep in tow although we do have all these other "toys" in storage. If Rod could figure out a legal (and safe) way of taking everything with us in such a convey I'm sure he would do it. (hehe)

Thank you Gabriela for your kind words and supportive comments over the months and also for the outside UF correspondance. Your visits and best wishes are always appreciated. I'll keep you posted. :)

Cheers and best regards - Ann :)


Robin Wickenkamp   {K:16356} 2/19/2006
Bye for now Ann...be safe, be happy, and enjoy!


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thanks Rina. I have your email and will be keeping you posted as we travel. You got our parking spot ready in your yard?

Cheers - Ann :)


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Thank you for dropping by and for the well wishes Robin. I will visit your portfolio again before I leave.

Cheers from Ann :)


Rina     {K:26519} 2/19/2006
Yup! Front yard ready and waiting! I'm also having a blinking neon sign made up to put in the trailer window... "Eat At Anninarina's" :))


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Sounds good to me Rina. I should have made a banner for the plane to tow saying the same huh?! LOL


Rina     {K:26519} 2/19/2006
Not too late to attach an ammendment here, ya know...


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
I know what you're trying to do Rina. I'm onto you. Now shoo...You're in the wrong place. LOL I can't be deleting my Farewell image because of too many posts now can I. LOL Go on....go home! Bad Rina! You know where to go. LOL


Rina     {K:26519} 2/19/2006
rotflmao... ok ok... I'm going... Would have been too hard to do both caves at the same time anyway... At least I tried! Gotta gimme credit for that! :))


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Oh yeah you're quick and slick but don't do the trick. (Ann "politely" shows Rina out and locks the door behind her) LOL Another time - another place Rina hehe ;)


Gayle's Eclectic Photos   {K:91033} 2/19/2006

Kathy Hillard   {K:25721} 2/19/2006
How could this NOT put a smile on my face, Ann! I'm certainly going to miss your posts and wonderful comments, but I'll bet you will come back with a TON of great images! All the best, my friend, and travel safe! God bless both of you!
Kathy


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Hiya Gayle. Thanks for dropping by. Don't give Rod any ideas cause he doesn't own his own train (yet). A girl has to draw the line somewhere you know. LOL Will keep you posted and will drop by your portfolio to see more of your images and leave you a few more comms before I leave too.

Cheers from Ann


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006

waaaaahhhhhhhhhh, *grabbing Ann by the leg while crying uncontrollably*
Don't go, don't go, DON'T GO....let Rod go by himself...or MAKE him sell that silly bicycle on the roof of that camper and buy you a satellite to put up there!!!!!

Gonna miss you, Ann, furkini and all :(


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/19/2006
Janet...compose yourself. You're getting tears all over the desert floor. LOL

Seriously though.....naaaah...I can't be serious with you. LOL

Thanks for dropping by. I'll keep you posted.

Cheers - Ann :)

Thanks for all the fun dialogue over the last few months. Will look forward to more of your images and fun comments on my return hopefully in a few more months.

I wish you the best until you settle some where and can't wait for you to let us know where you are and to start providing us with new scenes. In the mean time travel safe and do not forgey your Usefilm friends. Del.

It's been fun commenting back and forth with you. We'll do it again soon!

Thanks for dropping by Susie. You're not late at all. I only posted this one last night. I'm not only taking my camera Susie but the whole house as we live in that motorhome in the picture. :) We're heading up to Washington for starters so if I get close to your Cafe I'll be popping in for that Hot Chocolate. Thank you for all the fun dialogue in our comments. See you when I get back online again - if not sooner around WA somewhere.

Cheers for now - Ann :)

Bruce Harper   {K:5305} 2/20/2006
I'm sure you'll have better things to do seeing the country for real than being stuck in front of a computer screen on the internet, good choice to leave it out I think. Drive safely.

Hi Ann

Only known you for a few comments but I think your mad enough for this world...so thanks for the useful comments on part of my life. Not that you will need it but have a great trip and be safe in the knowledge that .....ok....I can't carry this on....

Haha...go explore..!

Manu


stingRay .   {K:136763} 2/20/2006
Ah my sweet Ann....I cannot fail to comment here. I shall miss you so much and will hope you'll find a way to stay in touch sweetie. Following the granchildren's visit my health has taken a tumble so I haven't commented or posted for some days. I have switched on today and said thank-you to Ina for the Clean-up Team Photo that Janet sent on to me and broused through the pages that I've missed and came accross the CONVOY.....WOW! So here I am to say a most fond farewell, enjoy your travels and adventures, take sackloads of shots and PLEASE PLEASE take care of yourselves. Be in touch when and if. Great big hugs sweetpea, very best wishes and a monster X......Ray


Ann  Van Breemen   {K:11828} 2/20/2006
Well, you are certainly prepared for anything. Bon Voyage. I look forward to your next "drop-in". I hope you have a safe and happy journey and take lots and lots of photos. Cheers, Ann.

Ahh Kelly...I will miss your entertaining comments. I abdicate the throne and gladly pass the Flappy Mouth crown to you....BUT ...if you ever see me there on the front page and I miss it I expect you to email me and let me know. (haha)

Thanks for dropping by. Good luck with the wedding later this year.

Cheers from Ann :)


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/20/2006
Hi Manu and thank you for dropping by. I expect you to carry my share of the madness now cause I won't be around. Thank you for your good wishes.

Petal Wijnen   {K:47829} 2/21/2006
What a 'grand' convoy, not only up here (the pic) but also down there (the tread)... LOL!!! Hope you'll see lots and take so many shots your memory cards will get dizzy.... I'll miss our 'your on the front' game, but I'll keep count... ;-D Hey, I've got an idea.... why don't you plot your route going from hotspot to hotspot... LOL!! Miss you and your funny comments already, oh yes thanks for the compliment on my knockers.... ahummmm.... Have a great time and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yahhhhhhhhhhh!!!


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/21/2006
Hi Petal....Thanks for dropping by my little farewell party. I will miss your humour too. I do try to find Hot Spots where I go but because of relocating often I don't get much internet time. If you want to drop me an email I'll put your addy on my list for occasional email updates on my travels. Don't worry I always hide email addresses from everyone elses view. Would love to stay in touch. Have enjoyed our dialogues on each others images.

Cheers for now from Ann :)

sorry, decided this picture needed a rating so i can boost my karma, so dropped by again.. to do that B)


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/22/2006
Oh Sai....you're tot funny. I've always thought you had great Karma...and you want to talk about your aura well...oh you mean those silly little numbers at the top - karma?! LOL I don't do ratings but drop in any time to raise your numbers Sai. I may not be around but feel free to lurk. Just don't make too much of a mess. :)

Cheer from Ann :)

Sometimes typos can be so annoying.

tot = too....as in too funny :)


Sai .   {K:2757} 2/22/2006
easy for you to say... you have 44520... i am barely pushing 3K :P


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/22/2006
Ha ha... You remember my previous profesion Sai. I was a talk show radio host. I'm a professional. I've had lot of practice at talking but not actually saying much. haha


Sai .   {K:2757} 2/22/2006

Ann:

Any way I can convince you to get a Sprint power vision (EVDO) phone and plan? When you pop it in the cradle you can use it for high speed internet... At least you could get some connections on major highways and cities...

Been fun seeing all the postings from around the nation, keep it going when you get back, I find it makes for good research.


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/22/2006
Hi Michael, I odn't know anything about that system. Right now I use a wireless Belkin Card in my laptop and have a wireless router set up to the main house computer and I get high speed wireless in my motorhome (the one pictured here - hehe). When I'm on the road I usually jsut try to find Hot Spots but I am certainly open to any suggestions. We do need to get a new phone system as we want to get 2 cell phones. My question is would I be using the cell phone as as some sort of mobile high speed DSL connection and would I be charged for the minutes I use on the internet? Can you direct me to where I could get more information about this please? Perhaps you could email me some info as I like to have internet more often than not.

Thank you for dropping by and yes I can be convinced if the price is right. :)

Cheers - Ann :)

I'll also look up some other goodies like Garmin GPS driving directions (the speaker phone I think even reads off the directions as you drive)...

Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/22/2006
We already have a GPS system and I use Streets and Trips so OK in that department. Thanks Michael. :)

Hi Ann, have a great trip...are you in the plane, boat or camper LOL..

Peter


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/23/2006
I tell you Peter if it was legal the spousal unit would travel this way taking all his toys with him (*grunts like Tim the Toolman*) but seeing as we can't we just take the motorhome with the blue jeep in tow and store the rest until we can get them all in one place again. LOL

Thank you for dropping by and for the smile.

Cheers from Ann :)
