Need to get away...

Hey everyone,
It seems to me that it might be time to travel...but to where? I was hoping that you all might give me some feedback as to where I should go. Lauren and I have been talking about meeting in Egypt, I have a friend who lives in Rome, a friend in Alexandria, and a place to stay in Greece. I need to start planning a trip soon so your suggestions would help.
As for now I am traveling as much as possible...by bicycle. At first I thought "no big deal, so I have to work a little to get my photographs". Then the rain started. Then the cold started...and just recently the wind. So this whole bicycle thing is getting a little rough. I have not stopped riding however. Everyday I ride at least 5 to 10 miles...closer to 5 on most days. Equipped with rain pants, a long rain jacket, waterproof boots and my Guinness hat I ride around the small, windy streets of County Clare taking my tripod, large format camera, video camera, digital camera, 35mm camera and lenses all in a back pack that I keep under the jacket. It looks something having a tent growing out of my back but it's practical.
Now last week I told you about my portraiture project, this week it will finally begin. I have made appointments to go to the homes of several of the locals to do photos of each family both at home with the family or at work. I had originally planned on starting last week but we had what the Irish call "Soft Days" (rain) and the trek was just to far...So wish me luck, I start cycling at 9am tomorrow for the next town over, Newquay (New-key), where I will be photographing one of the most well know families in the community, "The Fahy's". (Did I mention that they are best known for their homemade Ice Cream which they sell all over Ireland...can't wait!)

Cheers for now,

Rog
