I was invited in by MG and thought i would say a quick hello. Just dipping my big toe in to start, you all have a great forum going here and its a subject that i look forward to learning more about. Seems to be a beautiful place and one that I would enjoy seeing in person very much.
About me, I am an (almost) 47 year old American with the mind of at different times either a 15 year old or an 80 year old according to my wife. As soon as we get my daughter finished with schooling and University we would like to travel to your part of the world. I have some good friends in the UK that are already clearing a spot in the spare room even though we are a few years away.
Thats enough out of me for now. ;D

Thanks for the welcome, Gents! Nice to meet you, Mal.
I have already been warned about George but decided to join anyway ;D
BTW George, I have already seen some of your camera work and look forward to seeing more.
You can all call me Jeff although JED has one less letter to type
