Holiday Pics
19 August 2007
Our Holiday Photos from May 11th through May 27th 2007 are all online to share with our families and friends. We had the most wonderful holiday together, turning out just as we knew it would, with no doubts that we are meant to be together always! :)
You can see them all here in Alison’s Picasa Web Albums. Please feel free to leave any comments!
and it makes one crazy too! This is going to be the longest week I have ever had in my life I think! I want to be there NOW! :)
Gosh, I’M getting nervous about it all.
You like to fly? I love it; they could fly across the Atlantic upside-down and suit me just fine. It’d be better if they’d let me fly it a while.
Just curious: Is it “Si-priss” or “Sigh-press” or some other variation?
My knees are weak and my mind is shot now. Well maybe it’s the other way ’round… lol
Hell I’m going to have to take that xanax before the weekend at this rate! I’m so excited now and the closer it gets the more I cant concentrate on the least little thing. Well its a very happy excited! :)
You know the truth is I have never set foot on a plane before, but if it gets me to Alison I know I am going to love flying! :)
I have just always pronounced it “Sigh-press” as thats the way I ahve mostly heard it growing up. Since I’ve met Alison though I think I have heard 10 different pronounciations of it. well all just variations on the couple you mentioned. Alison has that Geordie accent to begin with and having lived there now for 20+ years she has some of the local dialect too so hers is maybe a bit more to “Sih-prus” And then you have the Greeks calling it “Kip-ros” or somthing similar to that with the K sound as the name is Kypros in Greek Oh I’ve come across it called a few differnt names ove the last 18 months of searching online for info… Kypros, Cyprus,
Zypern, Chypre, Cypern, and Cipro! Same with the village and city names, theres the Greek/Cypriot name and then the English name of places both widely used now. For example Alison lives in what was originally called Lemesos and then the English version Limassol came into use and now I think there is a push to go back to the original names. Well I’m glad she’s coming to pick me up from the airport as I dont know if I could tell a taxi driver where to take me that he would understand! lol
Well I have today off to get things all sorted, then my last day of work is Saturday and I’ll use Sunday to finish my packing and triple check to see if I have everything I need to take.. which really isnt much, long as I have the passport and tickets and my visa check card I’m set! LOL I cant believe its almost here now. I miss her like crazy. :)
Spot on Mike…well the Sigh part is right , but the end of the name is prus rather than press ! so it is Sigh-prus ….lol,
I think we have half of our home towns as excited as us, its wonderful so many are counting down with us and wishing us a great time together, well I miss Chester like crazy dont think Im letting him go back to The States after 10 days !!
Must be nearly time for your trip too , well I wish you a great time , and I know you are a great photographer so im sure we will see some good pics when you get back posted on your site , I would love to see some from Normandy. well dont forget your umberella and Long Jons its freezing over the other side of that pond you know ; ) that why I stay in Sigh-prus !
Have a great weekend
