I wish I had taken more pictures of people at the Reunion - especially you Connected Collectors!

I wish I had taken more pictures at each lighthouse I visited - with some of the details (I didn't have enough memory cards.)

I wish I had taken photos of people registering at the reunion.

I wish I had taken photos of the "Keeper's Exchange."

I wish I had had my photo taken with Bill & Nancy after registration.

I wish I had spent more time with my connected collector friends.

I wish I had taken photos of Seven Foot Knoll - I was around it - just kept thinking the pictures will be better tomorrow.

I wish I had visited the Lightship Chesapeake.

I wish I had visited the USCGC Eagle.

I wish I had visited the National Aquarium.

I wish I had visited more lighthouses -- like Turkey Point and Jones Point.

I wish I had tried my hand at sculpting a lighthouse.

I wish I had bought more lighthouse pins and post cards.

I wish I had bought a Lighthouse Passport years ago and gotten it stamped at all the onces I visited in the past.

I wish I had had more time to spend with my long-time friends on the coach tours. (Sorry, friends.)


But I'm sure glad I did all that I did do!

Don't misunderstand. I'm not unhappy - just wishing I had done more of some of the things I could have.

I have to agree with you John on a lot of the same areas. When I came home and had my film developed I thought "why didn't I take more pictures while I was on the bus tours"? I guess I stood in too many lines to buy pins, postcards, t-shirts, etc. I wish I had taken more photos at each lighthouse and especially with the connected collector friends we were able to meet for the first time. I guess we will have to wait for the next get together.

I wish I had a better camera with a more powerful zoom so I wouldn't have to ask my HL friends for copies of their great shot.
Thank you John for the copies I asked for. I've added them to my Baltimore Photo Album.

More pics? Sure
More Lighthouses? Sure
More time in the day to see em? Sure
More freebies from Harbour Light? Sure

but I'm gratefull for:
* my health
* the chance to go to Baltimore where I've never been before...
* my limited but nice Harbour Light collection that I love
* my HL friends
* new friends I made at Baltimore
* the memories I will have for a lifetime... the bus trips, toll boths, pushing the bus, the cruise, the meals, the auction, Bill & Kim.

Plane tickets for 2 = $ 280.00
Reunion package for 2 = $ 1650.00
Memories of all the fun..... PRICELESS

I wish that I had been retired by the time of the reunion so we could have driven and spent more time lighthousing and no time on bumpy airplane rides..

Our budget wishes that Rich hadn't gone to Paul's seminar on photography where he learned more techniques for photographing
lighthouses (just kidding Paul, the pictures will be great once we get all 15 rolls out of hock).

Both of us wish we could have spent more time meeting all of the great people that we missed.

I wish the reunion was longer, and there were more LH tours!
I wish they didn't close down the water taxis Sunday night.
I wish I could have been at Ripkin's last game and the Reunion at the same time! I did have a view from my room of Camden Yard and saw Cal's last ab on TV and while watching flashes from cameras at CY from my room.

I Wish:

1. The bus tours weren't quite as long (16 hours is a bit much).
2. The boat cruise was able to get closer to the lighthouses for better photo opps.
3. All of the people who wished to attend were able to.
4. Harbour Lights introduced more of the upcoming product line.
5. We had more time to meet all of the collectors who we correspond with over the Forums.
6. All of you "Good Health, Peace & Happiness" until we meet again.
