The number one question I get is what camera am I using. For this cruise I used a Panasonic FZ35 |
I use Photoshop Elements to batch process the photos, resizing them to something more reasonable and also auto-fixing colors, etc. |
ALMOST LIVE !!! First a quick stop in Paris! Paris, KY, that is! Fly out of Cincinnati on Tuesday. I cannot believe how much crap I packed. Oh well.
The first of two consecutive Carnival Dream cruises, this is a 12 day cruise and the following cruise is a 16 day Transatlantic crossing making a total of 28 days on Carnival Dream. The ship, Carnival's largest to date, will still be new - the Oct 15th cruise is only the third sailing. Most of the inevitable problems with new ships should be identified and hopefully resolved by now.
I will, no doubt, take way too many pictures of everything! Stay tuned...
We will have one of the Cove Balcony staterooms on this cruise!
