HI Jeff,
Have a question for you- how did your Princess cruise compare to your DCL? We were on the 25th Cruise although I was sick and spent most of my time in my room!! I still really enjoyed cruising ( this was our first cruise). I was thinking of Princess because they have their own island. I loved Castaway Cay!! so, how do they compare- would you do Princess again? Are there other cruise lines that have their own island?
Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon,
Louise

Found it, yes Princess has Princess Cay

kim... if I send you my favorite cruise picture to your email... can you post it for me? would that be a problem? I have had a TON of problems even getting it to the point where I can email them to someone and I have to use a different computer please let me know if this would be an inconvenience. thanks

yes... we ARE all over the DVD and I feel bad, but there were 10 of us. if we were 3 separtate families it wouldn't seem so bad.

jennnifer...I will make sure you get a copy.

Jeff... what does the "pax" mean? I know that is going to end up a very easy answer and I will feel like a dork.

Hi everyone and thank you to Jeff if this works! This is one of my favorite pictures from the cruise. Despite what it looks like Joe is only applying lotion to his face!

Kathy

Yup, we got the WHOLE picture

not sure of the exact meaning, but max. amount of passangers the ship will hold

 

[Louise-Montreal]

Thanks for the info, Jeff and Rick!

 

[kshabare]

Karen,

I'll even image size it so it loads quickly.

Kim

p.s. I sure do miss you guys.

 

[vavalynn2]

I know a few post back someone mentioned posting pictures. I have never done that and now have an account with photobucket to help I guess. All of my tests made this HUGE. I hope I corrected it, if not I apologize. and any feedback is appreciated.

This is one of our favorite pics from the cruise. I took this walking back from Majahual towards Tequila Beach. What a beautiful day we had.

I wish that the late night buffets were a little more clear, but we will know for next time.

We have decided to do WDW next year on my spring break. Hopefully that will tie us over until our next cruise in 2008.

 

[dreamakermom]

Thanks Kim... I will send one... maybe two as soon as I can get on Evans computer. You are TOO good to me.
Sure wish I was with you guys on a cruise now instead of having to deal with a last minute move to a state I hate!!!

I think you were on the right track for inserting a picture, just maybe you were copying the url from inside being signed on & not like a public view (for to try to see the url, it asks for a password for you...

as for a lesser vacation next year, we are cruising out of NewYork on a Bermuda cruise... ( 7day like $650 each, no air for it's a 4½ hr drive)
We're saving for the Hawaii cruise in 08, will also do 4-5 days in Honolulu first.

State to Hate ?? where ya going to ???

 

[dreamakermom]

Nebraska and as you can see I am a little upset right now. I guess I will get over it... I guess I don't have a choice. I hate moving and trying to move and have 4 happy kids (and the beautiful grandbaby) along with all the turtles (5) and the dog.... well..... at least DH will be happy. I'm just not, at the moment.... very, very sad....like I said, I'll get over it.

 

[rjh8115]

We're supposed to get snow this afternoon!!! Not fun, no fair, no fair!!!! Where is spring????

Nebraska ??? ok, I am having brain cramps, were you in Florida ??
Thats like Plop right in the middle of the US... a long way from any port
Any move is hard, no matter where ya go... Good luck

We had a quick little white-out flurry that only dusted the ground & blew off most...
just been below freezing for the last week & next....

Not long & we'll be complaining of April Showers,
but can't wait for the May Flowers.​

You got it!!! Right smack dab in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. Far cry from Florida, huh? You can now understand why I am upset I am sure.

Hey Jeff... since you are here... is there any way you can TRY to walk me through putting a picture on a post/thread? I am WAY flubber when it comes to computer stuff but would like to learn how. I have some pics right now on the computer (my sons) under My computer and then shared documents and then Kodak documents (I think). How can I get one on here.... the EASIEST way?

Oh you poor thing.... I am sure there is plenty to do.. like shoveling

Easiest way to get a pic on a post ????
1st the pic must reside on a web location (not on your computer)
If you have a yahoo address, you can use yahoo photo albumn, or there is a bunch of free ones out there... Once your pics are on a web location.
you would need to copy the picture url
example http://collectibleshop.tripod.com/disney-donald-duck-german-print.jpg
a pic usually ends in jpg, or gif, or bmp, or jpeg, to name a few
so Highlight that url, then click the little box below [Size] when replying [looks like this

]
a pop up will come up & you past the url in & click OK
now if you do preview or send, you should see a photo, like this

as easy as you think it would be to just attach you file to a message, boards do it this way, for they do not have to allot for the amount of files members may upload on their server (which can take up a lot of file space)
Picture trail is another good photo storage http://www.picturetrail.com
I use it to store some pics... need some wallpaper ?
