Yeah, that's all I did so far. I found this site over the weekend, and spent WAY too much time on it monday night. But I have a vacation in mid-April. I can't think of anything better than sitting on the beach and writing more puzzles. Plus, uh, drinking some creativity juice.

I'll do a few more puzzles here and there, but I can't put too much time into it til April.

I'm either going to Nassau or Aruba. Need to decide tonight and book it. I want to plunk my butt down on a sunny beach, and have the most stressful part of my day be choosing between a Margarita or a Long Island.

A fiddle in the backround doesn't quite fit the scene. Maybe a ukelele?
#9: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 26, 2008
Ohhh now I REALLY want to go. Please take me with you..sounds so nice. Though I wouldn't know what to do with myself, don't remember when I had a lot of idle time.
Margarita most definitely!
#10: John Ebert (JohnEbert512) on Feb 27, 2008
I BOOKED MY TRIP!!! I'm going to Nassau in April. I'm excited beyond words. Ohhh naneki, going to the Bahamas with someone that you've never met sounds so romantic! (but... it also sounds like those last three seconds before a train wreck)
#11: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 27, 2008
Hurray John! You're only a few weeks away now!
You have to get Naneki your picture before you go so that we can all imagine you on the beach making up more puzzles. ;-)
#12: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 27, 2008
LOL....Too true John!
Well then just think of us poor souls left behind to work our tails off, slaving away, not being appreciated by our bosses, under paid, overworked & headed for death bed, while your off in Nassau, bathing in the sun, relaxing & drinking your exotic drinks, exploring new avenues of fun & excitement........
are you feeling just the least bit guilty yet?
Just kidding, I hope you have a wonderful time & make sure you fill us in when you get back :)
#13: John Ebert (JohnEbert512) on Feb 27, 2008
Just sent pictures to Naneki. Please remove the standard 10 years and 20 pounds before making the puzzle. (I know, I could just send a picture from 10 years ago, but then you'd have to take off 40 pounds)
#14: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 27, 2008
lol..I'm checking now :)

where are you? I'm on the west coast
#15: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 27, 2008
So that would make the puzzle depict you as 40 pounds lighter than 10 years ago?
Hey Naneki and I just caught up with each other on chat. Are you still on site?

I believe most animals can smile. We just can't see it under their fur. ;)

Hey John, if you want to get to know everyone a bit and share a little about yourself, there are a lot of forum topics under "general discussion topics" where we've all posted ages, where we're from, etc.

James and I went to the Bahamas for our honeymoon--Port Lucaya. It will be 10 years ago this Dec! It was beautiful! But to celebrate our anniversary, we're going to Scotland in Septempber.
#18: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 29, 2008
Oh!..I want to go with you too!
#19: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 29, 2008
I would LOVE to see Scotland Arduinna. Will you please bring back lots of new puzzle ideas so I can? :)

Which anniversary is it? What a romantic way to celebrate.
#20: John Ebert (JohnEbert512) on Feb 29, 2008
So Arduinna, where is your story posted, and why (see puzzle 2340, comment 13) would it be interesting to vacation with you? ;)
#21: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 29, 2008
no story posted on Arduinna, we just got to know each other in the topics & on myspace, she is quite the character, always makes me laugh!
#22: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 29, 2008
Boar Goddess I am a twit! You will be married 10 years this coming December. I really should read more carefully before asking questions. <*()*>

It still is a very romantic way to celebrate. :)

John everything done with Arduinna is at the very least interesting, if not out and out delightful. She really should be on your top 10 list of stowaways. :D
#23: Arduinna (arduinna) on Mar 1, 2008
You guys are making me blush!

This was a great puzzle to do while I waited to start dinner. Just the perfect difficulty and a pleasing picture too!
#26: Gypso (Gypso) on Mar 3, 2008
Did the puzzle influence your dinner menu Ga?

Just dawned on me...I think John went off to the bahama's & left us behind :(
Well Girls, looks like we are going to have to schedule our own vacation..How about Hawaii?
#29: John Ebert (JohnEbert512) on Apr 5, 2008
Not yet...

BUT I LEAVE IN 5 DAYS!!! Just logged on to webpbn for the first time in over a month. I've been busy trying to get everything squared away at work before I go. Naneki, I just emailed another picture. Hope it's usable.
#30: Arduinna (arduinna) on Apr 5, 2008
How do you not log in for a month? I was gone for two days (I forbade myself to puzzle until I was caught up on grading), and I was having withdrawals!

Well have fun! I won't begrudge you. We're still planning on Scotland later this year!!!
#31: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Apr 5, 2008
Oh...there's still time..what time do we leave :)
got your picture, wish me luck!
#32: Gypso (Gypso) on Apr 5, 2008
Have a restful vacation John. I promise not to be a stowaway.

You don't need any luck Naneki. You're a pro at these portrait puzzles. :)
#33: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Apr 12, 2008
I got 2 pictures from John ... I wish I could share them with you.. I'M SOOO JEALOUS!!
