History

My mind is so full of what I need to take and what I must leave behind, I had no time to think… John wanted a photo of the shelf that is in the hall with appropriate lighting to commemorate John’s father, Burt Munro and his achievements! They want it for more story for about what is going to happen in the States where we set off in 3 days!

Three good things;
1. I know that a tripod is necessary for a back hallway with only overhead lighting.
2. Admiring so many good bird photos on 365.
3. If you feel you are going to sleep in the middle of a rugby match on TV, its good to come up with a “Oh dear,” or a ‘nasty fall’ now and then!
Love your memorabilia shelf... he certainly was a great man and you must be proud to call him your FIL.. look forward to your shots from the Salt Lakes..

Well darn!!! Wrong side of the map!

@shesnapped So many of you are on the East side!

I lived in Utah for 2 years -- you are going to one of the most beautiful areas in our country! I hope you have time to get to some of the national parks. @alyssakmac is traveling there now if you have a chance to look at her album.

@maggiemae Yes, east coast now, but born in San Francisco. Have to say, that place never completely leaves your blood!!!

@happypat Only got 2 small suitcases each, Pat. Have decided we would wear the same thing every day until it got unbearable and then get it washed - staying inside for that day!

What a spectacular memory wall you have. Terrific shot of it. I'm so excited to think that you will be in my country but heartbroken that you will still be so very far away from me.

@grammyn Its sweet of you to think like that, Katy! It happens even in the tiny country of NZ - 365 people go swiftly through my town but the do have a schedule to get through!
May 13th, 2017  
@maggiemae I can promise you this if I ever went through Oamaru you would BE the schedule!!!

What a lovely memory corner and capture of it. Maybe one day you'll get a free trip to the East Coast?
May 13th, 2017  
Wonderful memory wall & tribute...John would be happy with this...
May 13th, 2017  
@happysnaps I did have some other stuff to put there but its gone into a cupboard, Valerie!
May 13th, 2017  
So wonderful to have a memory shelf like this. I hope you have a wonderful time away. You will have lots of awesome photos I am sure.
May 13th, 2017  
@maggiemae ha ha Maggie great idea! You can always buy if you need! I hate too much luggage but always want to take a big variety of clothes!
May 13th, 2017  
@happypat You know, I don't think anyone knows what anyone wears! Its the face and the personality that they remember!

@maggiemae As I have discovered, Delywn - having the battery power on your computer as well as being able to recharge the camera is vital. All different power over there! But got hopefully the right adapters.

Have a great trip. i hate taking too much stuff away.
Love your shot of Burts achievements. Very special.
May 13th, 2017  
A lovely shot of the achievement shelf! I LOVE no 3! We must all have been there :-)

Enjoy your trip! Looking forward to your photos. I'm sure they will be wonderful!
May 13th, 2017  
Indeed, a nice commemoration display!
May 13th, 2017  
Some awesome memorabilia there. You two are certainly jet setters these days. Enjoy your trip and I'll look forward to your photos. I presume you're going to the East of Canada and not near us.
May 14th, 2017  
@kiwichick Yes, Lesley - to Ottawa.
May 14th, 2017  
Another trip! How exciting - I can't wait to see the photos. This is an awesome display of memorabilia. Have a fabulous and safe trip - good luck with the small suitcases - a great idea if you can manage it. Just as long as you have room for laptop and camera gear!
May 14th, 2017  
What lovely processing
May 14th, 2017  
I had been thinking to tell you to bring your John Hamilton info- but my head is so full of camera club stuff lately I'm forgetting everything else. What a great shelf to honor Burt. And I can't wait to meet you!
