Well we’re off! Mish and I are on a 15 day Caribbean cruise on the Crown Princess with Princess Cruise Lines, and a much needed vacation. Of course, we are still addicted to taking photographs, so we brought a few cameras. Most of the below images are taken using a Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital ELPH compact Camera. It has a little 3X zoom and 7.1 megapixels for those of you who are techno-geeks. If you know what you are doing, you can actually get some really great photographs using point-and-shoot cameras. I have even gotten images with little cameras like these that people think are from a professional camera. Our other camera that we brought is my Canon 1Ds mark II 16.7mp camera with a 24-70mm f2.8 lens. I have used it a little, but as I said, this is vacation, and we’ve been by the pool most of the time. So far, we’ve been in Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Kitts and Grenada. We’re off to Bonaire right now and will be there in the morning. In St. Thomas, Mish and I went to Magen’s Bay Beach, rated one of the top 10 beaches in the world by National geographic. At St. Kitts, we took a catamaran to Nevis, another beautiful small island situated right next to it.
Here's the ship at the dock the first time we saw it. Unbelievable!
Mish walking up the gangway...exciting stuff! We've never been on a cruise together!

The captain has a speech on his welcome night. Everyone dresses in formal wear.
Mish snapped this shot of us on a crazy taxi to Magen's Beach in St' Kitts. Super windy road up a mountain in a taxi with no doors

The ship is larger then most of the port towns!

God's canvas. Straight from the camera...no photoshop!

The surface of the water as we sail by. I love texture
Almost like its an erupting volcano
