GMTIIc - Set & Ready for Vacation

Hello all,

I am leaving today (from Atlanta, GA US) to head to Spain for a cruise through Malta, Italy, and France. Before you say you wish you were me... my wife and I are taking our 1yr old son and 2yr old daughter (and grandma too).

I just went to time.gov and set my watch - also advanced the hour time 6 hours to Spain - while leaving my 4th hand on Eastern US time.

When I get back, I'll post some pix and also give an accuracy check.

Jim

Have a nice trip.

Dont come too close to any walls if you tour catacombs or villages with narrow walk ways.

It doesnt take much to shatter the GMT crystal.

Well - I am back. The trip was great and having the kids along proved to be quite a challenge, but we wouldn't trade it for anything. I tried posting some pix but I took them on a 12meg setting and they are too large. I did check time.gov and for the 12 total days I was gone - lost 30 seconds - (-2.5 seconds/day).

Now... back to the real world.

Wow, that was a quick trip! Hope you had time to enjoy yourself...I'm sure traveling with the young'uns added some challenges!

Hope you you can scale down the pics and post them...I'm sure there is some beautiful scenery (Sea, Sky, Duty Free Rolexes?!)....

Bet it's nice to be home!
