pictures!...I hope

Hello hello friends and family-
I had posted recently saying I would not be able to post pictures until I get to an internet cafe with better internet but oh how I was wrong! A friend (yes, I have made friends) shared with me a way to compress a photo in order to send it through email. So, as my first of many gifts to my loyal followers (I'm sure there are oh so many out there) I have decided to test this trick out. I deeply hope this works and to ensure it does I will burn precious internet minutes by actually logging on the blog site and taking a look. If it does not work I will delete this post (so I apologize if you read this before I do so).
Without further ado, attached is a photo of my big beautiful floating home, the one and only "Explorer". Isn't she lovveeelyyyyyy.....song? Anyone? No, okay moving on. There she is docked in Hilo, Hawaii. It is 590 feet long, 7 decks tall, roughly 25,000 lbs, screaming with the power of 45,000 horses, and can clip along at a top speed of 25-30 knots (although we never average more than 14 knots on our longer trips). I will post more photos from our Hawaiin trip soon. Oh and I'm sorry if the quality is not so hot. Enjoy!
