1. Egypt?

[Radio_Lady]

3. Oh, you knew! Well, it would have been good if I had gotten at least one wrong guess!

Egypt in 1984 -- this was taken on a 105 degree day with about 0% humidity.

The Holiday Inn that we stayed in was attacked in the 1990s and we don't know if it's even there anymore.

18. Here's an updated link showing the pool area... year unknown.

19. Another photo of the Holiday Inn in Giza, from the Internet.

Usually, I hope and pray that all of you could go to Egypt and see this amazing country. However, it is way too dangerous to do that now.

2. Epcot?

[Radio_Lady]

4. OK, Will. I know you didn't mean that.

Happy Thanksgiving by the way... guess it's over in Mass. right now.

[Radio_Lady]

5. Nobody thought I was in Las Vegas (near the Luxor)....

6. in the swimsuit?

[Radio_Lady]

7. Yes, technically, that's exactly where I was...

in the swimsuit!

Thanks, spillthebeans... and welcome to the DU!

Grandpa is working on scanning in more than a hundred pictures we took in Egypt. They've been in a leather backed photo album for 22 years and he's decided to put them into digital format. These pictures have held up very well considering all the time that's gone by.

I'll put up a link for anyone who might be interested.

Over and out.

8. Las Fuckin Vegas!

I, too, live in Oregon (in the summers) South Coast. Most beautiful place on earth!

[Radio_Lady]

13. We love Oregon... but there is that small hankering for New England, too!

[Blue in Bama]

20. Never did New England

but thinkk I'd like it. I sure love Oregon! Ever hear of Bandon and or Bandon Dunes? That is my summer job which brings me to awesome Oregon....Nice to meetcha by the way. I got some friends who own a radio station and another college classmate "Debie Elliiot" is a correspondent for NPR.

22. Welcome to the DU, Blue in Bama! New England is just beautiful...

and if I had married another Massachusetts native who DIDN'T MIND winter, I'd probably still be there.

But Grandpa was born there and in his 60s, just absolutely hated the snow. He hated driving in it, shoveling it, and most of all, he hated the unpredictability of the whole thing. During our work years, we had to drive in it and not know if we could safely get home or not. He calls winter "the season of death." So we followed a daughter out here to the West Coast. We've only had a few days of snow since we moved here 1998 -- the snow falls at the higher elevations and we're at 500 ft. in a valley between two mountain ranges, the Cascades and the Coastal ranges. I was pretty homesick for the first six months, but then we moved into our new home and it's been wonderful since then.

We did visit Bandon and saw the Bandon Dunes a few years ago. Did you get to Crater Lake Park? That was just amazing.

Thanks for your comments.

In peace,

Radio_Lady

PS. I was raised in Miami, Florida, and I've never been to Alabama!

9. Gorgeous pic, RL, but the location was too easy to figure out.

If there had been only one pyramid, and had it been blackened glass, I would have guessed Egypt. But alas, there are TWO pyramids in the background, obviously made of stone.

Still, nice pic!!

[Radio_Lady]

14. Thanks, Seattle Girl! My husband is putting all our Egypt pictures into to digital

format... really interesting... that was twenty-two years ago.

I'm going to try and post a link before Christmas.

Thanks for your comments.

10. Either Cairo or Giza, Egypt

[Radio_Lady]

15. Yes, the first DUer got it right! Giza, Egypt, on the edge of the desert.

More photos coming... thanks Sakabatou...

[trof]

11. Um...Paris?

[Radio_Lady]

16. The correct answer is Giza, Egypt in 1984.

Paris is scheduled for next year -- for my birthday. I can't wait.

[Schema Thing]

12. Could be anywhere, now that NatGeo has pulled that photoshopping shit

[Radio_Lady]

17. Well, nothing is photoshopped here. The original is too old to be

photoshopped... both the woman and the pyramids.

[Schema Thing]

21. I know, I was just referencing

the national geo pyramid debacle.

I'm sure that really is Las Vegas :evilgrin:

[Radio_Lady]

23. Yeah, it's Las Vegas ... ha-ha on you if you believe that!

Wait until you see the rest of the photos!



They don't have camels in Las Vegas... Maybe you'll wake up tonight or tomorrow...

[Schema Thing]

24. The camel show at the Luxor is AMAZING, init?
