metaphor: the blogging thing just got too annoying, esp. w/ the constant stream of porno spams. i now have a flickr site. it is in nearly all ways superior, only disadvantage being it is more of a straight photo archive in design. in features, however, it has everything this site had and more. just go there now:

i'll probably post there more regularly. it's pretty great, you all can add comments, search around, see the photos in different sizes (and download them full size, though i'll only be posting 1024x768 until i decide to pay for this), even get the stats of when i took the photos and what the camera settings were. you might want to try a free account for yourself.

I had always wanted a vacation where I could just relax and forget about the worries of my hectic life. I chose the Great Smoky Mountains and booked a Pigeon Forge vacation rental. The rental was located in a lush atmosphere that acted like a balm to my throbbing nerves. The rental was near the National Park and when I had got rid of my fatigue, I took part in all the activities that I had always wanted to do.

The next step in finding relaxation was Ocean City, Maryland where I looked for Ocean City vacation condos that could help me gain the authentic experience of the days that had gone by along with providing me with the opportunity of enjoying the modern-day activities. The ocean side condo gave me an opportunity to spread out on the nearby beach and just walk across back to the condo for a refreshment break.

I had always wanted to go to Hawaii and enjoy the clean beaches, the turquoise waters and the indomitable fun loving spirit. As soon as the first opportunity came my way, I booked a Hawaii Beach rental. Many homeowners have beach houses that they use during the holiday season but rent them out during the rest of the year. I was able to negotiate and get a bargain deal for such a beach rental and I had maximum fun at minimum cost.
