Test post

I am just testing out the 'direct posting by email' option in Blogger.

Sadly I will not be travelling with a laptop so posting of pictures will be unlikely.

  3. Well, I will be going to more than just Europe though I was certainly planning on internet cafes being the venue for posting blog text.

    But pictures? That will mean downloading the camera contents, saving to CD, modifying with a photo editor to being a more upload friendly size, cropping as necessary and then posting. Easy with a laptop but I am not wanting the extra weight or security risk as I will not be exactly Hilton hopping on this trip.

    Have I got it wrong?

  4. hmmmm well you could reduce the photo size in the camera, so you wouldn't have to photoshop them, but you have to save them somewhere. Do you have the kind of laptop that you can insert a thumbdrive or picture disc. If so maybe you could go right from the
    OHHHHHHHH you said you WON'T be travelling with a laptop......Nevermind. haha

  8. hi lee! i'm happy to have resurfaced before you and margaret leave on your long trip. i hope to be in bias, france on the 8th of August for a friend's wedding... switzerland and italy before that, paris and amsterdam after. it would be so cool if by some odd coincidence we were able to have lunch together during our travels. (mine are only 3 weeks though, so slim chance) anyway... i hope you have a marvelous trip, and a safe one too! big hugs, snowsparkle

  9. word pictures perhaps?

    or what about those little text pictures that used to be popular on the old internet bulletin boards, where you make a picture by arranging various letters and symbols?

    Posting without pictures will be boring though..

  14. if you have digital camera, you can buy a memory reader and just transfer it to computer, whenever you use a cyber cafe or internet cafe, it just like you using your memory stick. Happy traveling..and take care!

  16. OK, call me a day late, but, gosh, just felt Ihad to comment.

    You mentioned that folks ask you what foods to avoid?
    That would be foods they don't like to eat, for taste or smell.

    That ought'a help with folks during yer travels.
