Ron, is Ursula Krigger your 105 year old great aunt? I made bookmarks for her 105th birthday celebration last week at Nisky Moravian Church at the req...
Thanks, divapam. The Aquapac sounds just like the DiCAPAC (which I found on ebay). However, I can't figure out how to fit the bag so that when the len...
What is an Aquapac? I have a DiCAPAC which is a thick silicone cover for my Kodak, but can't figure out how to use it! Ever heard of DiCAPAC anyone? H...
The Greathouse is offered as a botanical garden/estate tour stop on some of the cruise ships, and it's open every day (not sure if it's open major hol...

Limnos takes you to shore, and you have to walk down a fairly rugged path to get to the beach. The path isn't particularly long, but someone with a di...
I assume you'll be taking photos. Do you use a digiscope? I've been trying to photo hummingbirds for the longest time, and discovered yesterday t...
