    Long flight! I bet she'll appreciate a couple days to recover before you start taking pictures.

    Do you have a convertible car by any chance?..... GFs always love convertibles....

    I think the word you are searching for is "bazaar." No doubt a bazaar could be bizarre.

    Special thanks to Canoez for providing not only the original GFHs (Great Flat Hughs), but also this smaller, more portable GFH (PGFH?)!!!....
    I do think that it would be lots of fun for GFH to make the complete rounds....
    A weekend on the beach with Bernadette...(Weekend with Bernie) Dinner and dancing with someone in London..... A sail off the coast of Brazil with another.... Canal cruising Germany... Etc.....

    Cool idea, but perhaps to state the obvious, GFH needs to photographed in front of place specific and iconic backdrops from various locations.

    Generic greenery and open water could theoretically be done in one locale without ever leaving one's own backyard.

    Oh, and you should personalize the back of GFH with a signature if (when) he visits!
