First hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
I had mine all last week being on a cruise ship.
Have tons of pictures to show just trying to figure out where I can put them so all my friends can view.
While we enjoyed the ship for my mylot friends, my main reason to do this cruise was to see Belize. Since my granddaughter is half Belizian I wanted to get as many pics for her as possible.
I will wait til after the holidays to find a place to show my pics, but if anyone knows of a free site that will allow my friends here to view them please let me know
I also have pics of last years cruise too.
I am going to take my son in Jan 2014 on this same cruise but going to pick a different cruise line. Guess its time to spread my wings LOL
My hubby and I are going to plan for Alaska in Sept of 2014.
But please if anyone knows of a free site for placing pictures any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is so great. I'm glad that you had a wonderful time. I have never been a cruise before but I would love to go on one someday. How did your trip go? What places did you stop at? Which cruiseline did you use? I'm hoping everyone's suggestions will help me to be able to pick which cruize I would like to go on. My husband would love to go to Alaska. Have you ever been on the Alaska cruise before? Which cruise experience would you say is was your best? Thanks so much for sharing and I hope to see your pictures once you find a place to put them.

Sorry Dominique Imust have hit a button and caused my page to refresh.
on the Elation we went to Cozamel and Calica, We got to see the Tulum Mayan ruins. I love history so I was thoroughly excited!
I have many pictures from that cruise also.
Now we are deciding on which cruise line to go on for the Alaska cruise. It will be a toss up I think of Princess and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
My experience on the Princess was top of the line. Carnival is more family and much cheaper but cheaper is better because then you can do more cruises LOL
My husband leaves all the cruise information to me because he knows I will choose the cruise with the best view and information. Our Alaska cruise will be our most expensive. I plan on getting a suite to have more room and just actually enjoy more on the ship. I want a good room because I want to have a very good view of all the beauty of Alaska.
Norwegian has already put out their 2013 price list for Alaska so it won't be long before the others do as well.
Then I watch prices and as the discounts come in I will make a decision. I went through a travel agent on my first cruise. I will never make that mistake again
I use vacationstogo.com for the last two and I adore my cruise specialist. He will be my personal cruise person unless he leaves the company and he is just awesome.
He makes sure we get all the discounts he can give us. Such as over 55, ex military, and there are all other kinds of discounts for people also. Oh because I am a past cruiser I get discounted too. So I am staying with him as long as he is there or they give me a new specialist.
K hope I answered all of your questions
If you have anymore just message me!
Happy Mylotting and I just wrote a book I think LOL

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I think that a cruise is the best way to travel and see so many places for such a great price. I appreciate your telling me about your experience with vacationstogo. I have looked through there and they seem to have such awesome deals. I also had thought about going through a travel agency but I hear a lot of the time that going that route ends up costing a lot more. I hope that I'm able to find someone really nice through vacationstogo as well. I think that having a suite on a cruise line would allow you more space and be awesome to be in. It is also great that you were able to make payments for the one cruise that you took. How did you do it? Did you have to pay monthly up until the cruise date or did you have to make like three larger payments?

You can always put them on facebook. I think kodak has a free site. Off hand I can not think of the ones I use to go to to look at pictures, but will keep you in mind if I run across them.

Yes I have a kodak site but will have to look and see if my friends can see them as well. I want to have the pics of our cruises into those softbound book types Kodak has.
My daughter had her first baby girl while she was with me. I snuck Trinitys best baby pics and did a 4 month picture book for Amy. It was so awesome to give her on Christmas.,

Congrats on the grand daughter. Pictures are always a fun way of looking back and sharing memories.
I have those types of books from kodak too. I actually like to put the pictures on my scanner/printer and then copy them to CD. That way I can just take the CD to the photo section of Walmart and run off what ever pictures I will need.
Sounds like a wonderful Christmas present you gave to your daughter.
Have a nice evening and a great week.

I'm glad you had a great time and I so wish I could take off somewhere as well but it is not to be. I think you can upload albums at Photobucket and maybe even Snapfish. Can't wait to see the photos. The photo of Belize has definitely piqued my interest.

I am hoping to get my pics up in February. I will deffinately do a discussion when they get up.
We just did Xmas at his daughters house yesterday she lives about 100 miles from us
Now she is coming over next weekend to see my husbands mother so there I go cooking again.
So I am hoping to slow down after that and figure out where I am going to put them.

I am really glad that you had a delightful time on the cruise ship. I am happy to hear that you saw plenty of Belize. The photos will be lovely to show your grand daughter that has one parent from Belize. It is superb that you will take your son on the same cruise but have a different cruise line. It is exciting news that you will visit Alaska in 2014.
I visited Mexico, Belize and Guatemala in 2006. I loved it in Belize. I saw Caye Caulker, Belize City, Bullet Tree Falls and Orange River. I loved visiting the ATM Caves which involved much swimming and climbing. I hope you find a free site to put your pictures.

That is so awesome that you got to do that.
my husband and I went on the city tour and zoo. The zoo is very primative. But yet awesome.
With the holidays over I will start doing the pictures. We had to go yesterday and still do the Xmas thing with my husband's daughter.
then she is coming over next weekend to see her grandmother here at our house. So maybe February I can get the pics done GEEZ!

I'm glad you had a good time! I noticed you weren't posting as much and knew you were going on a cruise, but I thought it was earlier in the month. I went on a cruise once and loved it! One point we had rough seas and everyone on the ship was walking like I do all of the time. For once in a long time, I was "normal". I have no advice for where you can put your pics. I imagine you will be VERY busy now getting ready for the holiday. Even though you have kind of already had it, I hope you have a nice holiday!

Yep I told Hubby if he got me something cheap or something for the kitchen instead of a cruise I would beat him with the item.
I told him we were not going to exchange gifts there is never anything I can get for the man all he wants to do is work, eat, sleep in front of the TV and when he is awake its politics.
So thats why we took a trip this close to Xmas to leave all the Xmas stuff behind.
I had already gave my son his big birthday/Xmas gift since his birthday was Dec 18th. He got a 800.00 camera. He is getting really good at the photography.
Thanks that is sweet that you missed me posting.
