Yes, I always rotate (for horizon corrections), re size, and rename before uploading to my server. The maximum size is 800X600.

One of the women who was selling tours suggested that we take the bus. Wow. . .what a bargain! The cost was only $5. R/T.(It only took about 15min to get there)

 

Great to hear that you took the bus and didn't have any problems. We are in Grand Cayman in October and are planning to take the bus to Hell, Cemetery Beach to Snorkel, and then back to port. Thanks again for the great pictures and review!

[OrdieJ]

Radio,

Excellant pictures. How much is this costing to be using the internet on the ship everyday?

[PegEggFL]

Good Evening Radio and Freedom Cruisers,

Looks like you had a wonderful day in Grand Cayman. Again, thank you for the fabulous photos. I really liked the one of you holding the turtle.

What photo editing software do you use?

Have a great day in Cozumel and I will look forward to tomorrows blog. A wonderful surprise, delivered daily by you - Thanks.

Take care and be safe.

The packages are not bad. . . $55.00 for 150min (.37/min)

 

Using the internet every day doesn't have to cost alot. It just depends how often you use it everyday.:)

 

I only use about 2-4 minutes per post.

Have a good time!

My question exactly......that is so cool........have enjoyed all the photos and running commentary........

 

Tnk U Radio.........:)

I can jump in here and help, we did the western trip Last November and saw no signs of the storms. As a foot note though, for all you blood donors, I was sad to find out last month as I tried to give blood that once you visit Haiti, you must wait a FULL YEAR before donating again. Don't bother signing up until a year has past, you will waste your time and only be turned away.

 

We are going on the FOS next month, but this time the Western run.

 

I will also jump on the bandwagon and thank you Radio for your updates,pics, and reports. You have made many friends, and we are all at our desks cruising with you in spirit!

 

Last note, being a hotelier you many years, more than I care to mention, most hotels have had, at one time or another, bed bugs! These pests are brought in by people, it means nothing about a hotel's cleanliness. Now on the other hand, it all depends how the property handles the situation, it is costly and time consuming, having to close off the infected room for a week, throwing out the infected areas, tearing furniture apart, etc.

Thanks, just had to get that out there and stick up for my industry.....

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL, and enjoy the rest of your journey Radio!!

Just wondered if you had heard if there was any damage from the storms of 2008.

 

We are looking at doing Freedom Eastern next July 18th. but, may want to do the Western because of Labadee.

 

Thanks for the great posts.

And pictures too.
