Hey...

.... just passing through... bought a new desktop to edit my HD Video footage - just set it up and tonight I picked up the editing software from Best Buy. Maybe tomorrw I may order new photo editing software (Lightroom v2) along with DVD tutorials. I'm gearing up to bump everything I do with video and still images to a new level. I decided against going with new MAC machines and software on account of the cost and suggestion by many that I could accomplish everything desired at a fraction of the cost on a PC platform. I figure I spent near 1/3rd of what a similar MAC set up with software would have cost. I wonder whether this will prove true or just end up a waste of time and $$? In the end - if nothing less - I now have a powerful desktop which will ALMOST run the most powerful PC games at moderate frame and resolution rates. Or at least so after I upgrade the video card further. Eventually I hope to set up dual monitors ... probably only 22" sized as those are a lot cheaper than twin 24" (or larger). Or who knows... maybe I'll go with twin 24s AFTER I upgrade the V-card. For now I'm using an old 19" LCD screen while I get used to the new applications and so forth.

At any rate, we're about to depart for our Princess Sapphire cruise this weekend - and now I'll get to do the Zip line I skipped on our REPO, and Julianna will get her swim with the Dolphins that we skipped on account of alternate plans made with the families gathered in our group in AP. And maybe we'll do horses or similar somewhere. OR maybe not?

As for everything else... things are good... the kids are scoring goals in Soccer... and ... and ... and... oh yeah... we booked 5 cabins for the July 18th Magic sailing for the Northern port rotation. We do have some potential instability in following through with these plans though. There are a number of shifting issues in our group (not us as we remain flexible in following the consensus)... and as such we might actually switch to another cruise line OR we might even switch to cruising another region then Northern Europe. Given the potential instability of the July Disney plans we temporarily had a backup reservation for the April Repo - which was the 1st choice for Alicia and I... in the end however, we decided it was best to just hold ONE reservation to travel in Europe. It's tough though to plan anything under these shifting circumstances with folks favoring conflicting factors for 2010. I have not taken the time to skim back to see whos doing what sailing... and so forth... but it suffices we decided the September REPO was not going to work for us. And as I recall - that was the most popular. Sigh... guess we'll miss most of ya who are on that sailing. And with any luck we'll sail with everyone HERE in July of 2010!

Alicia and I are likely to sail Disney in 2009 - it's just we are not certain which one it wil be this time. Most likely we'll do something semi-spontaneously again when Alicia and the kids get restless.

Oh well... time to scoot for now... I gotta burn some DVDs for the girl scout troop - and friends before we shift into high gear to cruise this weekend...



Hi Crash - good to see you again.

What software are you using for the HD editing?
 
You do!!!!! Seriously, there are so many people going from the Dis, I'll bet someone will start a third request for the room . . . just keep checking in here and speak up when they ask who would like to be included . . . also, there is a good chance between now and then that someone who has signed up for the private room will cancel the cruise and that would open up spaces as well . . . so perhaps you could PM Mike or someone and ask to be on a 'waiting list" for the private room get-together . . .

I missed it, but I'm on standby now! :goodvibes ITA with you Julie, so I put my two cents worth in with Mike.

I have made myself stay off the 'puter on the weekends so I can attempt to get things done! :rotfl: And at work they actually make me do work! But I can pop in from time to time on the dl.
 
Ok so on our list is

Disneynutinlondon Izzi & Paul
SallieP Sallie & Jimmy
Danfromca Dan & sister (sorry can't remember her name)
alanapapa Andrew & Carolyn
Rjayl Robert & wife
MrsG Maryann & Tom

so PG we all end up on this cruise, that leave room for 2 more if there's anyone else who wishes to join us

Tina, we would love to have you on our Palo group, but I would have to say that this is a fine gathering as well if you want to talk to Izzy about getting on her list -- I only wish I could do both!
 
OOOHHHH :goodvibes :goodvibes got any photo's

Yup 2 cd's worth! Ill have to copy them to my Hard drive then put some on Photo Bucket.

We had the party in a night club it was for the kids about 100 of them less than 40 adults.:laughing:

It was last June the Social event of the year for the school!:dance3: :banana: :cool1: :cheer2: :grouphug:
 
In all our DCL cruises we have not eaten at Palo for brunch or dinner. Can you only make 1 online reservation for each even for the longer cruises?


Since we are doing a 4 day next summer we are going to see if we can get brunch ressies to try it out.
