I had some great ones......still messing with photos trying to crop and lighten since it was soooo gloomy.....will em u some of my better ones.

That would be great! I thought my BIL would have gotten some good ones with his $1800 camera, but I didn't see any that were so great!

Well truth be told going on a b2b on Monarch or safari in Kenya? Kenya would win.

Jen I understand maybe you should try for the Radiance to Hawaii next Sept, I know a great group that is sailing on her. lol

Maybe we should all go on Safari with Jul!

Ginny is that the happy coconut reunion?

Yep

Ooh, what are the dates?

I had considered booking cabins for another family cruise tomorrow but I think I'll wait until January when we're on board Jewel. I still need to make sure that the kids don't have a problem flying to San Juan next August. Tricia said she won't be doing her student teaching till Spring 2009 so I don't have to worry about that messing things up.

But for those of you who are booking here's hoping for clear phones lines and lots of empty balcony cabins:

Not sure but I will check the dates brb

Happy Coconuts Reunion cruise on Radiance of the Seas, Sept 26 -- Oct 11, 2008. Come join us!

9/28/06 I think is it a 15 night cruise going out of San Diego rt.

Bob has some great incentives for booking it. ONC etc.

Just what she said

Okay I am talking to myself. that's okay I can be enteraining.

Jen..you've got mail.....again and again and again!!!

It sounds great, but I was kind of looking for something that I could take the kids on, and they'll be in school in Oct. UGH!

I will get so much grief if we ditch them again!

Sorry Ginny.....I'm here listening to ya!!.....Had to email jen some shots of whales.......

the only drawback of Kenya is my bf is a procrastinator in planning a trip and I'm anal on needing to have it all planned waaayyyyy ahead of time!....If I know him, he'll book it in May to leave in June.....if he doesn't wait til later!...me otoh, want something booked NOW!!!

jen..........I had a photog from here that used to work on Princess in AK give me some great tips.......partly, most people stand on the boat trying to shoot pics and he said to ALWAYS have your arm on the railing balancing your camera ....that way when the boat moves, your camera moves the same way instead of moving the opposite way....sounded logical........

The bad shots I got were when i couldn't get near the rail or I was having to just shoot fast hoping to nail the tail!!!

WOW! Really great pics! What kind of camera do you have? A Canon?

I keep thinking bf means boyfriend not best friend, and I'm saying to myself does Jul's husband know she has a boy friend!

I know what you mean about planning, I had our whole Alaska trip planned over a year out, and dh never asked where we were going until a couple of weeks before!

ROFL!!!.......he's my best friend, also a vendor....and YUP, david knows him (he's friends of his too) but bf and I have a great relationship......

I have a Canon Rebel xt.....and love it.....I had a lot of camera issues on this trip but I think the problems I had were due to settings getting set wrong......

I am going to buy a bigger lens yet (I have a 70-300) and I want the next size up........then I can get some awesome tail shots.......

I can't wait to scrapbook my tail pages.......I LOVE the two diff shots of the white fluke.....I got those almost an hour apart....same whale...I've used a magnifier to check out the markings...I want to do one page of just those two...

Jen understand about taking the kids and school schedules. Yep I sure do

Was reading posting on the other site.

I was pretty happy with my camera, but it just couldn't stand up to a dslr on the whale pictures. But for $199, I wouldn't expect it to. I think my BIL needs to take some classes though.

Take a picture of your scrapbook pages when you get them done!

I am not booking anything tomorrow as I have more then enough booked and future booking not yet assigned. I can't remember what they all are. But I need to STOP!

I need a very rich UNCLE, so I can book some more!
