Hello gang-

I've been out of commission for a while. I was admitted to the ER not long ago for catching various stomach viruses and for appendicitis (apparently it started on my trip back from Fiji). I've been in the hospital for a while and recently had surgery. I'm now at home and almost back to normal.

I'll try to post some photos this weekend (assuming that I'm not swamped with trying to catch up on work).

Everyone's photos look great!

I had a wonderful time and look forward to more SD trips with the gang.

Thanks for your email Kamala...it made me feel tons better and even made me smile...while I was drugged up on pain medicine :-)

We should plan a trip to Australia for 2006.

Mandi,
Got the new DVD also and it's 100% a-ok. I've copied, perused, edited and sorted through the first round of pics. Hpefully by Xmas I'll have sets online for viewing and a set printed out that is small enough for the family to put up with. hehe

Vanessa, glad you are healthy and back with us.

Hey Folks,

I know some of you have been waiting for me to finish my video. I have good news and well not so good news. Good news first. The video is complete. The bad news is, I am not happy with the quality of the compression on the DVD and its delivering a video quality that I just don't think is nice. Since I know some of you would like to have the video, I would like to offer it on VHS, the quality on the tape is excellent because it is not compressed at all. In the mean time I will be working on getting it on to a DVD, possibly a double layer dvd which allows for more space.

If you are interested in a tape please let let me know. If you prefer to wait to see if I can get it on DVD at a better quality there is no need to email me and I'll post here when I can figure it out. I have a call into a couple of people asking for some help. I just don't have the tools of a major motion picture studio and the video is 1.5 hrs right now...

Anyhow I know some of you were looking forward to it, so here is a way that I can get it to you quickly.
Roatan!!!! Roatan!!!! Roatan!!!! I'm going to ROATAN!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Ok, it's taken quite a while with Xmas and some other things going on. I've taken the disk Mandi sent out and slowly edited it down to about 300 pictures. I now have it posted on my picture site in three galleries and wanted to share it with any and everyone.

Thank you, Dan. I still wish I was back in FIJI FIJI FIJI but looking at the pictures made me feel like I was back there.

Sorry to hear that, hope you are OK! Hope the PB did no cause any undue stress, if you need some help let me know?
