Lovely picture, as always Carin! From my flights to the U.S., I must say that by day 4 you are going to be so tired lol.. Mind you, I have two flights and a long wait at New York so.. Hope you have a COMPLETE blast.. Say hi to Bill and Tara for me! Well say hi to everyone! lol Rob

Wow! What a trip to look forward to! I am planning a trip in April to my sister in the UK, nowhere near as hectic as yours! Beautiful Hibiscus, glad that it survived! Clive
Don't forget the camera :)
Wow!!!Very beautiful flower and fabulous colors
what an exciting trip I have been to them all except for Toronto.. worn out just reading the itinerary.. but wait where is Tennessee??? have a wonderful and safe trip.
absolutely magnificent!!!
This is a fabulous capture of this beautiful Hibiscus and I hope you have a wonderful trip and catch up with lots of people from RR.
An excellent macro of the most beautiful hibiscus I've ever seen, Carin, and I've seen a lot of different varieties. But, what's this? No Los Angeles, San Diego, or even Southern California in general on your trip? It appears your itinerary is oriented mostly toward the northern section of the United States. In any event, have a safe and sane trip.
Gorgeous summer shot! You do know you're going to need a lot of much warmer clothing than you're probably wearing now, right? Have a wonderful trip and I'm very much looking forward to meeting you!
oh how great, you have summer!!! beautiful picture of Hibiscus, wonderful done, so great in color and so clear!
This is a fantastic shot and I'm synchronizing my watch. What a shot this is and what an schedule. That's a lot of traveling to do...and it's gonna be FUN! I'll do my best to make sure Chicago behaves itself when you get here. Chicago doesn't listen to me, but still... Oh, and by the way, I love this shot! Ah, and January in Chicago...? Bring longjohns!
beautiful image!
Fantastic hibiscus, Carin! I hope you make a good trip, to see as many friends as possible and to spend with them happy and carefree days! :)
Enjoy your roundtrip - I wish you well, lovely and rich flower presentation, Carin ! BB
