Made it into the 80's today. But in the mid-west this time of year this equals unstable weather conditions. Looks like the storms tracked north though. Hopefully nothing severe for .tif, et.al. Now the wind is kicking up here, no doubt a cell moving through.

I think .tif is hiding from tornadoes in the bathroom.

someone has croup, if she's in the bathroom I hope she's got a hot shower running...

I'm out...fresh air seems to have smacked me in the face with a case of sleepies.

Ran over to FB to see. Ungood.

Night Sarge

From the bedroom tonight "Mom, what biological family do bears belong to?" Which of course caused me to google and did you know that their closest relatives are pinnipeds?

WHAT?!?!

That's what I said!

(tho you are prolly WHAT-ing on the .tif stuff)

We bought the boy a real guitar today, a 3/4 size Yamaha. He had been using a toy-ish 'First Act' guitar we bought him a few years ago. The sound difference is amazing and he is so excited that his guitar will sound more like his teachers!

MIKE, that kid of yours sure has grown, nice shots.......

DIDIER, some great shots there. Love the through the trees one.

BECKY, nice shots. Those croci look much different than ours.

CAT, great shots of the dogs. Those pups are getting big.

Hola again.

I also took the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. I think I used that and the 70-200 f/4 IS the most. As for the tripod, no. Baggage was heavy enough. Think about THIS or THIS. Neither of which is as good as a tripod, but better than handheld if you're doing long exposures.

I took waaaay more than I should've. I could've done just fine with one camera, two lenses and half of the accessories that were in my bag.

Thanks for the info Dan. I think I am going to buy the Green Pod. I want to travel as light as possible. I wanted to take both cameras just so that I don't have to change lenses...but even that idea may change and may just stick with the 7D and switch between two lenses. In addition to the cards, flash and batteries....I am going to take a dedicated video camera because I don't want to eat up CF cards with videos on the 7D.

I'm even debating taking a laptop to empty the cards on...then again, I can just take my card reader and burn some disc's using my dad's computer. How did you all handle that?

You going to be able to get over to the big island? The volcanos are really cool. I'm seriously thinking about THIS for our next vacation. The only problem is that the train doesn't go to Hawaii. I'd have to fly...

If you stay on Oahu, make sure you get to Hanauma Bay. It's one of the neatest snorkeling places on the entire island. Also worth visiting while there is the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor.

Unfortunately not going to be able to make it over to the big island this trip John. Evan wants to though because he wants to see volcanoes, but it will have to wait for the next trip to do so. For the Easter holiday weekend, my parents rented a couple rooms at the Hale Koa Hotel (another military/DOD resort) which is where we will see a luau, go to the beach and snorkel (if possible). All the other days we are doing the tourist thing....and luckily, my parents live across the street from someone who works at the USS Arizona Memorial and will be getting us tickets to go! That is actually #1 thing to do on my list...I've always wanted to visit there.

we took our epson p4000 and loaded the cards right to that. It's overpriced though...we never use it for anything except vacations.

and really, you won't want 2 cameras. Unless you are worried about malfunction. There's so much to do and fun to have, you probably won't want to carry both around.
