Off to a new start

I have started this blog because I am finding that since we moved to the digital era, we no longer share holiday snaps. Not in the traditional method anyway, where you all sit down and flip through an album reliving key steps in the journey and LEARNING from each others experiences.
Holidays, like most things, seem to have been reduced to a few sound bites - unless you create a web page/myspace/you tube/flicker etc.

Earlier this year we travelled to China and sent our favourite pictures to friends in an email document each day. (No international blogging allowed from China).  We had such positive feedback. Clearly people were interested in the journey (at least while it was in progress).
When we returned, I realised we still had many pictures that no-one had seen. 
Long story short, I have decided I have too many great pictures to leave sitting in hidden files.  I am going to post them here, for my own satisfaction, and hopefully for the satisfaction of others.
And one day, when I grow up, I will work out how to load them on Flicker!
