Just awesome Ken, that must have been amazing to think that for some people that is their lives not vacation. It looked like a great time and wonderful shots of Montecarlo. Welcome back.

Ken welcome back. Thanks for sharing the pics. After looking at them, I still can't understand why you would want to leave the Med...

Ken,

Ditch the pink sweater.......

thanks to all for the kind notes. much appreciated.

as for the pink sweater, well i wondered but i was taken shopping by woody's partner, gina (who is a beautiful lady from chile so be real careful what you say next). she is some sort of fashion guru (yes, i am the last person to have a clue about such things) and we bought a new wardrobe - given that this was in places like st tropez and antibes, i'll be paying it off forever. i must have tried on a thousand things. the pink sweater was one of the few that got the tick of approval. not that i expected anyone on this forum to appreciate it.

The hat suites you Ken.

All you need is an old Mercedes convertible and you could be Doug Murray.

What ever happened to him anyway.

No Doug Murray.

He was or is a local reporter, I think he used to pieces for Brisbane Extra.

I used to see him around town in his Mercedes wearing a hat and smoking a cigar.

Kenny Gargett, hater of fat bankers, advocate for the downtrodden and fairy friend (Oh... com'on, I mean like Tinkerbell!!!). -LOL

Cheers Mate. Great pictures, thanks for sharing. -P

*** Tinkerbell appears courtesy of the Walt Disney Co. -LOL
