Hi,

My medically induced/total change of lifestyle sabbatical is over!

Tomorrow I head for Lord Howe Island, NSW, Australia, for a week of photography - finally!!

Then San Diego and Hawaii until 2/23/13 when Jackie and I fly to Miami.

We will be taking two months to drive from Miami Int'l to Everglades NP, Congaree NP, Great Smoky Mtn NP, New Orleans, Big Bend NP, Guadalupe Mtns NP, Carlsbad Caverns NP, Saguaro NP, and finally Tucson. Google says 3400 miles; 57 hours. I figure two months to cover 3400 miles leaves a lot of stopping time and shootin' time.

Since we are starting in Florida, this is the Forum - United States-Florida - to commence preparations and reservations.

All suggestions regarding "everything" appreciated, i.e., places to visit and for how long, what to see (Jak and me) and what to photograph (me! ), best places along the way for sunrises and sunsets, etc...........

Perhaps some of US might even share a coffee or more along the way.

Lightroom and CS6 are dusted off and I have started processing archived images. Looking forward to posting and becoming involved in BPN in the near future.

Cheers, Jay
