Oh man, sorry folks, I mugged the url (I’ll blame iPhone and the lack of cut and past right now).

Vacation pictures are up at flicker

I will have some very cool shots of the Louou and the Dolphin park including kaily shaking hands with a dolphin (to scared to the the kiss) in a day or so.

Going to be a crazy week, work is nuts, and Charise is gone down to a conference all week so I’m doing the solo dad thing.

I’ll see if I can get a few shots up from the chopper ride tonight.

Man… The most over priced two tank dive I have ever done, and tomorrow will be worse if I can talk Charise into going…. Why would I do that?

It was spectacular. 80f in the water, I dispensed with the wet suite entirely!

We did two dive to around 50 feet. Vis was 150 feet if it was 10. I saw white tipped reef sharks. We got around 7 or 8 feet away from them. I think they get cut from
tourist board because they where good sports and put on a nice show.
we swam through a couple lava tubes and some cool arches.
the highlight was probable molesting a poor octupuss who clearly did not want to play. The dive master dragged him out anyway. He felt like satin and wrapped a tentical around my arm for few moments. It was very cool but I felt bad for it. I think it was maybe two feet in circumference, the DM said that was a pretty decent size. I also saw a giant sea turtle, which was very cool but a good ways off.0

Kaily and Charise did the glass bottom boat, but Kaily got board quick and was not great.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Charise will scuba tomorrow, since they do all the gear for you

we are going to go see the water falls in a chopper today!

Well we went to the off broadway show they had on board tonight, tina and tony’s wedding (or whatever). Can’t say I was impressed, it was at best mildly amusing. I got the impression Charise thought the same.hopefully not a preview of the rest of the things we purchased tickets to.
That being said the comedy show I saw was decent, and the magician they had tonight was great and funny. I will grab his name later and maybe his DVD.

Damit, we are going to get off the boat tomorrow if it kills me.

Charise got a cool black dragon tatoo, spray on. I’ll get snap of it tomorrow if she will let me (or it survives).

ok, I’m generaly liking my iPhone. Sure there are lots of little things that could be better, and edge is a bit dodgy but seems ok in a pinch.. However this having to Wait for each picture to send, and over edge no less, is just lame design. WTF dose it not just not queue up in your dam out box? It’s not even logical since it is a true email and not weird
mmsms thing. Week design and anoying, wastfull.

I’ll be syncing over some of the cannon shots and sending them to the flickr feed tonight.

Course we have not made it off the boat yet, how sad is that, but we have some cool stuff coming up, not sure how much will be shootable though since water is involved . Charise lost my Sony men stick so I didn’t bring the under water housing. I’m alleeady regreting that last minute call though because we are going to swim with the dolphins the last day.

well I tried and I tried but I can not get posti to run right to get pictures onto the blog.

So on to the be plan, actual make that c, be was to use zoopmr but I can not mail shots there actialy their whole new mkIII ui is bit to busy for me. I still like zooomr best but I am starting to loose faith a bit (all the upload tools are busted accept their brows and post).

Anyway, plan C flickr upload by mail

(bah sorry wrong url)

I’ll catch up getting the photo stream going tonight.

at&t is odd or the iphone is. It alleays reports full signal, until you try to do somthing then gets busy recalculating and showing you all the bars you don’t have.

That being said, I am in the between hawaiin islands and able to post. Pretty cool.

Now my kindom for a easy to setup picture for wordpress and the phone (forgot how to use the post by mail thing i setup years back)

so we have been sitting here at the gate for about 20 minutes as highly trained air plane mechanic pushes a big stick at the door.

We finaly got off the dam plane and then on to a bus for more hurry up and wait. Kaily is acting like ants in her pants girl, but over all has done pretty good.

Thank god for the ipod vidoe, they should be mandatory for all traveling parents.

One gripe, Ncl could do more to help with luggage ;(

Weather is great. Can’t wait to get to the boat and get dinner. Right we are rideing through a industrial area so nothing to cool to report yet.

We had a great time at BBQ up empiregrade and then headed for scotts valley for the fire works. A friend of the Mckays has a store called close pin and we are all camped behind it waiting for the show. Well allmost, kaily is camped out with the owners kid inside playing with all the toys they have so moms can shop sewing stuff.;). I can’t seem add photos from my phone so I’ll get some up later.
