My wife shot me down! :(

I'm leaving for Europe on vacation for a few weeks.

I had an idea... I told my wife that I was going to bring one of my little flashlights and take pictures of it in front of some notable destinations/sites (ie. Eiffel Tower, Musee du Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris, the London Bridge, the Vatican, the Colosseum, Patheon, Piazza Navona, Venice waterways, etc.) to sort of document my trip. I thought it would be fun, for me and to share with the guys on the forum.

She laughed and screamed, "OMG, Geek Alert!" Tongue Out

I guess it is kind of a geeky idea but I think I'm still going to do it!

YES do it!!!

DO IT!

It could even become a thread where people post where their flashlights have been! I think it's a great idea!

-Garry

(P.S. My wife thinks/knows I'm a geek, but I keep at it anyhow.)

which lights will accompany your trip?

Go for it!

Should you make it to Scotland - give me a call.

if you somehow end up in slovakia, pm me:)

and don't be fooled by the film eurotrip:P

Great now we need a signature BLF flashlight dance. ;-)

That's a good idea. Even if ppl can take a picture of their favorite flashlight of where they're from, that would be cool.

kreisler - I'll be bringing a sk68 clone along with me. It's small, uses AA in case I have problem charging the li on, and I'll be leaving it in London for my cousin's husband before coming home.

Don & janko.hrasko - I would love to go to your neck of the woods but it's a short trip planned so far. A few days here, and and few days there. Paris > Venice > Florence > Rome > London > home and back to the grind.
Hopefully the weather improves. I heard Europe had a cold snap recently.

When in London - give me a call.

It is less than 700 miles from here. It'll cost less than $500 in gasoline.

I just got back from my vacation a week in the Florida Keys and I was given a 3 flashlight limit by my significant other and all of my lighting needs were met with just three. I wish I would have known about the "Roaming Gnome Flashlight Project" because I could have got some good picture. I put all my Lion batteries in my checked bag and kept my EDC in my pocket and I had no trouble with the TSA Nazi Regime.

LOL - That's awesome~! Classic... Tongue Out

Why not get the good lady to stand in the picture posing with your flashlight? That way she cannot be jelous of the awesome little light.

wow,that‘s interesting...

The idea is really nice. I will do the same, but I haven't planned to go to a famous place this year.

Do it!

Those vids are priceless!!! Reminds me of a Johnny Cash song titled "I"v been everywhere." Was That the same guy in both vids?

Keith

LOL, do it!

Yes, it's the same guy. Matt is a little bit famous, because he did this action. Here is his homepage
