A very cold, snowy, windy Saturday here...and there is no doubt about being stranded if flight plans had been different for Mr. P, CP. It would have been a repeat of the last incident...so I'm glad he missed this one.. Its also my no1 grand's birthday, and also a grand niece's More...

In memory of those who lost their lives 1 year ago today on Black Saturday in Victoria.

"What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?" asked the police officer.

No airplanes are going anywhere from any airport in the Washington DC area. The Postal Service could not live up to their slogan, "Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds." This snow was not pretty fluffy stuff, but heavy wet snow, More...

Does anyone know when Gath started this site?

Hi from cairo, we start our tour today.Interesting place.

Mr P safely home - a bit late, but home, and not snowed in. Have just read him Sarah's post. He said that most of the European travellers to his meeting had their flights rescheduled by the airlines 24 hours before they were due to fly as the blizzard was forecast well before it hit.

Wishing al of you to have a very nice time wherever you are.

Time for me to hit the sack. Going to watch some TV in bed - the boys are watching the cricket!!!!

Nite CP, yeah mine is watching the cricket too.
Yeah Gail, she only lost her hubby the year before when I came down and we had that gathering, was a good ending to a very eventful trip.

Yes Ginger I remember the coffee cup, and some smarties, or some such colourful balls. That was before pics could be submitted, or we had our own pages, or avatars, etc etc. I can also remember when there were no pics at all, just the congrats like on jigsaws now.

Wow, way before my time, would love to hear more? Sounds like it was a good time.
