too funny!
Haha. Nice ode. That always scares me too, but it's not just the clicking that scares me, because I've made some idiot travel choices with face-to-face arrangements as well. Like paying 4 x's more to take a train from italy over to spain, than to get a cheap flight--I learned my lesson.
Thanks for the comment, I didn't realize that I was on Traverse until you said something. And about that 'breathtaking surf photo', I love it too but it's not mine, just a favorite of mine. I found it in a Patagonia magazine, and felt that it fit the message I was conveying. Just wanted to clarify--
I'm definitely more afraid of the online purchases...ever since I lost $1700 by accidentally buying tickets for the wrong date and not being able to get a refund. Ahh!!
Thanks for clarifying about the photo. Still an amazing shot. And also, I really liked yours of the banana market. I've tried to capture mass quantities of identical foods like that before, but have never been that successful.
Thanks for your comments!
