[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 65610, member: 1991"] Jamie, welcome home. I haven't counted the photos we took in New Zealand - husband & BF1 both brought their laptop computers and would download photos each evening. We have memory cards in all cameras and they STILL filled up! Of course, they also used the cameras for the occasional video footage (example - a geyser; the bubbling mud; the steam vents; a jet boat whizzing past). In the end, we had to buy some blank CDs and put all the photos on those, because the computers were running out of space! We were away about 25 days and we would have taken an average of sixty shots each day, per camera. easy child & BF1 would have taken 10 for every one of ours. The Maid in the Mist is wonderful, we've been told. mother in law's been on it (is there anywhere she hasn't been?) and my eldest sister, a number of times. She lived in Ontario for a few years back in the Sixties. I was very little then but I remember seeing photos of her walking on the ice and under the frozen falls one winter. It was like a sparkling cave. I wouldn't be too upset at difficult child dancing outside a loud store - at least it's happy. Sometimes we foist too many inhibitions on our children, in the name of propriety. But then, I grew up in the Seventies, when we wore flowers and bare feet, dancing in city parks to the music inside our own heads... I really love the way holidays give our difficult children just that little bit more confidence and poise. I'm still seeing it in difficult child 3. He now feels he can handle a lot more, because he coped with so much change and new discoveries while we were away. Enjoy your memories. Marg [/QUOTE]
