It has become a necessity to move my larger videos from current hosting site to another one, Smugmug, where I am limited to a maximum of 20 mins. per video. Therefore I am slowly converting World Cruise 2008 videos to meet new requirements.

The entire 2008 WC was posted on L.C.T. several years ago so some of you may have no interest in seeing a re-run but if any of you do have an interest, I'll post the shorter versions here on a continuing basis as movies are converted. (There will be plenty of movies as practically the whole cruise will be covered) Here's the first one:

Seg. 1 - 1 of 3 movies

Part 1:

San Francisco
Lahainia, HI
Hilo, HI
Honolulu, HI
Crossing the Equator
Papeete, French Polynesia
Bora Bora, F.P.

http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/World-Cruise-2008/World-Cruise-videos/15796685_L9LGGZ#!i=1697845574&k=Bp8XpQz&lb=1&s=L

If movie should stop/go on you, stop the movie on lower left and let it buffer out. You will see a black buffering line moving from left to right signaling how much buffering has been completed. My space bar also stops a movie should I want to read a scrolling message. You can also backup or fast forward video to your heart's content.

You'll note a fair amount of video of the singers and dancers. After being with them for 4 mos. you really get attached to some of them as you see them frequently and ask them to join you for dinner.

The 67th anniversary of the historic Battle of Iwo Jima is Sunday, February 19, 2012.
The 36-day fight that took place in February and March 1945 resulted in the U.S. capturing the South Pacific island and its three strategic airfields.
The battle was notable for the fierce and bloody fighting that killed more than 6,800 American troops and left more than 18,000 wounded.
It was immortalized on Feb. 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal's photo of five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, the highest point on the island.

On February 23, 2008, Penny and I were on a world cruise and we anchored at Iwo Jima for a special memorial program. The atmosphere of the day was quite moving and I
made up the following video as a remembrance:

Ok, need a break from the 2008 WC excursions, how about watching the crew entertain us on the Voyager.

A few of the crew knew that I took videos so they asked me to videotape them as they were quite excited about the show they had been rehearsing hard for during our cruise. I was more than happy to do the taping and made a number of dvds for them so they could send it home to their families.

Vicente is someone that I saw daily on the Pool Deck as he ran the "juice bar" and brought me back to good health each morning ; > ) And the cute little gal was our cabin attendant.

You can imagine how attached we became with various crew members while sailing with them for 115 days straight.

What fun!

Cheers! Ray

Yangon is a destination where we parked our ship for two and 1/2 days. What???? Yeah, Bangkok was about 8 hours. Go figure. Anyway, we weren't expecting much in regard to Yangon and some of us were somewhat concerned about our safety. But alas, none of that turned out to be a problem. . We walked, shopped and took photos to our heart's content. Natives were friendly and we had no problems.

Aaah, little Petra. Regent had an outdoor dinner for us and the setting was quite nice but the weather turned brutally cold and a number of people were removing chair coverings so they could cover themselves with them. There was also a shortage of restrooms. Regardless it was an interesting experience and one we still smile about.

Aaah, little Petra. Regent had an outdoor dinner for us and the setting was quite nice but the weather turned brutally cold and a number of people were removing chair coverings so they could cover themselves with them. There was also a shortage of restrooms. Regardless it was an interesting experience and one we still smile about.

The 36-day fight that took place in February and March 1945 resulted in the U.S. capturing the South Pacific island and its three strategic airfields.
The battle was notable for the fierce and bloody fighting that killed more than 6,800 American troops and left more than 18,000 wounded.
It was immortalized on Feb. 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal's photo of five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, the highest point on the island.

On February 23, 2008, Penny and I were on a world cruise and we anchored at Iwo Jima for a special memorial program. The atmosphere of the day was quite moving and I
made up the following video as a remembrance:

Hi Marcie & Tom:

So glad you liked the video and as you will remember, there are only a couple of ports left before this wonderful journey comes to a fairy tale end. We sometimes still ask ourselves "Did we really do the world?" Well, we did, and have the videos to replenish our memories of this once in a lifetime extravaganza.

The float around the globe was well worth it, whatever it cost. Penny never has told me the actual amount...Oh well ; > )
Cheers! Ray

This is it you good people. After viewing Bermuda you have cruised 33,000 miles, 26 countries and something like 51 ports. Congratulations!

You can once again revisit any port whenever you want as my Smugmug account should be around for a long time.

After today, I will be starting a new link and it will cover numerous entertainment we had during our cruise. But first, I'll give you time to recover from this journey ; > )

Cheers! Ray

Osaka, Japan is where I had a new camcorder sent to me by my daughter. I was certainly relieved that I could once again do some videotaping.

The 36-day fight that took place in February and March 1945 resulted in the U.S. capturing the South Pacific island and its three strategic airfields.
The battle was notable for the fierce and bloody fighting that killed more than 6,800 American troops and left more than 18,000 wounded.
It was immortalized on Feb. 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal's photo of five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, the highest point on the island.

On February 23, 2008, Penny and I were on a world cruise and we anchored at Iwo Jima for a special memorial program. The atmosphere of the day was quite moving and I
made up the following video as a remembrance:

You'll note a fair amount of video of the singers and dancers. After being with them for 4 mos. you really get attached to some of them as you see them frequently and ask them to join you for dinner.
