Chuck,
My friend commented me a crazy man ^^
For me, I dunno that, maybe the first time, or the last time be at London, I
could not take shots without slide film, I will regret.
The major trouble was over weight for my camera bag when check-in. I have to
remove something to my wife's & my daughter's hand carry baggages.
