I loved my visit to the States.. and I will return.

I have made over 5000 pictures.. So if you have questions let me know.
It's impossible to place them all (wish I could)

Welcome back from your honeymoon, Foo. Lots of guys around here owe you a lot and don't even know that their custom sub came from you. You sure changed the game for me, giving me a lot more identification with my sub and making the game feel much more real. Salute!:up:

Fincuan 12-28-08 04:10 PM

Great pics :up:

Especially #17 is awesome. Would it be possible to get a high-res version of it?

Don't worry ;)

This was just a small part of the honeymoon.
We've visited Shenandoah national park and the blue ridge highway.
Been shopping in.. well every town and city (loved New York!).
We went for a nice swim in the waters of Virginia beach..

We both really enjoyed our honeymoon..

Yeah, things are chugging along here. Lot's of folks coming and going, quite a few
of the regulars are still here.

I echo what RR said, your skins continue to impact SH4, the game is not the
same without them, especially when combined with the Kill Flags Mod.

How is married life treating you, good I bet :yep:

Hey, Foo. I see you hit the Air and Space Museum in VA. One of my most favorite museums around. I also see you got to the WW2 Memorial in DC. Congratulations on you marriage.

FooFighters 12-29-08 10:24 AM

@ RDP -> Thanks mate.. marriage goes well.. no real difference because we already lived together for 3 years.

@AVG -> I was like a kid in a candy story.. I love this museum.
Jets, warbirds, bombers, commercial planes, spacestuff.. just awesome.

DC was also great. WW2, Korea and Vietnam memorial are really impressive

that destroyer near the end is USS Edson (DD-946) according to Wikipedia
CG-47 is also the USS.Ticonderoga, the lead ship in her class, beside her sister (save the one with the blacked out numbers (hmm odd huh...)) the USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51)
