What I'm more leaning toward is something like this:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=317305&is=REG

I can download right from the camera's memory card into it during the trip and view the photos as well. More as a way to be able to take the photos around and show others.

I looked at this one and it is really nice, but did not do what I wanted.

You been to our house and saw all those picture frames. I'm trying any way I can to avoid adding more. Hopefully this will work. One picture frame for a whole bunch of pictures.

Diana and Kevin,
Great pictures. Of course, I was looking at them and Mike said "they've got them on a website ALREADY????"

Got do it soon or the mood will pass.

I will get set up a link site in awhile, but until then....
"Warning" there are underwater pictures included!!

General Cruise Photos

More Generals, last day and Manatee dive

Antigua Photos, mostly diving

St. Lucia - Mostly diving

St. Thomas - few diving (didn't change the batteries)

Let me know what you think...

I'll have to put my two cents in here. For those of you who are separated from parents/grandparents - we bought my parents a Ceiva receiver. The Ceiva receiver is an picture frame that allows you to send digital pictures via the internet. The receiver then dials up the internet each night (it has it's own modem) and downloads any new pictures. You can also have it set to download the weather and lottery numbers (I have this set for my parents this way). The only problem I have is remembering to update the pictures so that I don't get yelled at...LOL...

www.ceiva.com

If you're interested - you can save $50 by having me refer you..... Just let me know..... The frame is $149... and then you pay for the internet dialup access......

I looked at those and they are really cool. I would get one if I needed to update someone elses pictures.

Saw a neat thing on Castaway Cay day....maybe it's always been there and I haven't noticed it before.....

I'll try to quote, but I know I'll do it wrong...something like:

"To preserve the beauty of CC, take only pictures and leave only footprints."



Anyway, thought that was neat. Kids didn't like it as it meant I wouldn't let them bring back the shells they collected. Oh well.

Has that always been there and I missed it?

 

[scuba diver]

Just got back from our "wrap up dinner". The kids go back to school tomorrow so it is our tradition to have a final dinner our. Tonight was pizza.

The thing they missed the most about the cruise was the banana boat on CC.

I just realized that I never did get to Scoops. I'll have to correct that the next time.

But the big news is that our neighbors want to do a cruise in March so we are starting our search for a 3 day cruise. Living in FL does have it advantage, along with plywood.

Jay and I saw it. I don't remember if we had seen it before, but that is always the "law of the land" so to speak. I found some pretty shells at Serenity Bay that I wanted the kids to see, so there I was, bent way over, taking a picture of them. Not smart enough to have Jay hold them for me!!!

That's exactly what I need to do! Already, I don't know what to do with this newest batch. Well, yes...I do know now....thanks to you! I think Jay will thank you, too. LOL

Us, too....I wasn't nearly as bummed about the Banana Boats as the others, because I did that Wave Runner in Antigua, but still miss the BB's.

And I was thinking about how I missed Scoops, too. One night I tried to get Jared to go up and get me a dish of ice cream, but he wouldn't. ANother night, I was going to go up, but concierge brought us chocolates. I'll get to Scoops on the Mexican Riviera cruise, no concierge for us on that trip!

I believe I saw that sign on our last cruise, 9/02. It seems that way too many shells were being taken and I did notice that there were a lot less than when we first went to CC 10/99.

You should have stomped on the floor. I was up and down the steps all the time getting soda, coffee or tea.

LOL...are you going to be "under" me in '06???

Great Photos Kevin....

Great trip report Mary......

Makes me wish I was still on vacation.

Quick depressing having to shovel snow and having to go back to work.

I want to move and go on a permanent vacation in the sunny south.

I wish everyone the very best in 2005.

Hope to see you all sometime soon.

Kevin, amazing pictures!
Thanks for putting up the ones of the girls, too.
I wish it hadn't been cloudy by the time I figured out how to work my white balance. I love your "moon" pictures!!!

Thanks, those turned out really nice. Almost looks like a poster.

Well, heading for bed.....back to the old grind tomorrow.


GOOD MONDAY MORNING TO ALL OF THE EAST COAST CRUISERS!

 

[Juletime]

Jeri, is that the May 27, 2006 Magic you have booked? We need to figure out how many cabins we have.

Yes, it is. We just returned from holiday exchanged with my folks, I feel like I need another trip so glad I booked so many . I leave in the am for a new job starting in Chicago, lots of travel to the cold states

I really enjoyed meeting you and wished I had bought a ring too! Kevin's photo's are incredible. How does he get the colors so bright?

It will take awhile to catch up on the thread so in the interim so sad news....

The Moose lady has no more moose (what is the plurel of moose?). So Ohiominnie has a one of a kind gym

Rest well all and I hope to catch up periodically. Cheers, Jeri

Oh, so sad....but I don't have a moose. KT has made it clear in NO UNCERTAIN terms, that the moose is HERS. We will be allowed to enjoy it until she grows up and moves out.

Bummer about the moose, mooseses. I really wanted one, that is a great idea!
oh well...... sigh.

The photos are fun, a little luck, good digital film , the right combination of light, shutter speed and if all else fails a tweak or two in Photo Shop! But don't tell anybody.
