Ray, can't tell you how much I appreciated the time and effort it must have taken for you to have done such a special video. It was much appreciated and can't wait to see the next installment. My feet couldn't stay still. Loved it. Elaine

Video - 2

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. To me, it's a lot of fun making up a video and reliving the memories whenever I want to.

Today, we're headed back to Athens to witness the Changing of the Guard at the Parliament Bldg. as well as watch and listen to the demonstrators in front of the Parliament Bldg.

Here it is:

Greetings!

Here's video covering Crete. Sometimes some of you have had difficulty getting a movie to play appropriately and if this happens take a look at variables to the upper left of the Smugmug screen....you can play the movie web style--quite small, I-Pod( bigger), Mid-Def (this is the way I always forward a movie to you) or high definition. Just the other day, mid-def didn't play correctly for me but it did just fine in I-Pod size.

Here's the video:

Good morning!

I have calculated today that our CLEO cruise will have eighteen ten minute videos of which Israel accounts for 9 of the videos. Today's video is # 5.

I am truly enjoying patching it all together but trying to label things accurately is quite a chore

My videos truly cover everything we did and in the order we did it.

Here's today's video--B&K Gatherings

Oh Ray, those are great! Thank you so much! I love seeing the ports again, but my favorite is the video of the B&K group....what a great group we were. I miss each and everyone! And, by the way, doesn't Cindy have the best smile in the world?

Ray, your videos must take so much time! Thanks for all your work.

I love reliving the day-by-day, plus seeing some places we did not see on our tours.

Kathy - I whole-heartily agree!
Betty - Long time, no hear. Still remember how kind you were to post all those photos for me when we were on the WC.
Leslie - Thanks for letting me use some of your photos in my videos. They're super!

Here's the first version of my Haifa videos:

http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...o/11048677_h286u#1387322298_SdLHSPw-L-LB

Hmmmm, just tested above and it stopped in its tracks at a certain point. Interestingly enough, it stops for some and not others. Don't know the answer.

Here's the I-Pod size video. If above doesn't work, try it.

Olivia:

I just ran the Mid-Def sized video on my Apple Desktop and it runs just fine but play it on the Apple MacBookPro and it stops in its tracks. The laptop will play it in I-Pod size though.

This whole problem only occasionally occurs but I have no clue as to why. Very frustrating.

Cheers! Ray

Need some help! Below is link to Haifa Day 2, Part II

http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...o/11048677_h286u#1400460299_MHGSCt7-L-LB

Again, this video stops in its tracks for me using Safari and am wondering if some of you would let me know what is happending at your end, especially if you are using Firefox or Google Chrome.

Pls let me know how video responded for you and what browser name you used.

Thanks. Ray
p.s. Am trying to sort this out with Smugmug

Well I just played above link and it played flawlessly. At this point in time, I believe I could have a root canal and enjoy it.

Jeers! Ray

Here's the last video of our time in Israel and is one of my favorites.

We wrote out our prayer note and stuck in in the crevice of the Wall and then leaned against the wall and repeated the prayer.

After leaving the Wall area and waiting for our guide to pick us up, three young, fun-loving,
excited ladies came up to Al and peppered him with questions. What an appropriate way to end our fabulous adventure in Israel.

Here's the movie:

Hi Betty:

Glad you liked the videos. What a fun remembrance.

Now it's back to family videos that I send to SIL in Afghanistan and starting in Oct., lots of domestic travel, especially our National Parks.

Cheers! Ray
