Destination: Paradise

Oh, the torture.

To leave behind a cold Salt Lake City and travel to the Caribbean where we were forced to:

Sail to beautiful sandy beaches

Antigua

Explore strange new places

St. Lucia

Participate in weird rituals called “Wine Pairings”

Wine Pairing

Encounter wild, ferocious animals

Blackbelly sheep lamb

Be menaced by giant plants and butterflies

Cheryl in Smallesteeg

Perform strange acts upon the stage

The Village People

And endure boring sunsets from the balcony of our cabin.

Sunset from our Balcony

Not to mention that we were force-fed 24 hours a day until our clothes no longer fit.

Boy, did we need a vacation when we got back.

Say, does anybody know anything about video editing? I’ve got a couple of very funny videos in AVI format, but they’re huge (around 13 MB). Can anyone tell me if I can cut portions of them or reduce the size/quality using free programs or something that might already be loaded with Windows?

    I’ll be happy to take that kind of abuse! All that blue sky and water would be hard to leave.

    Poor you. ;)

    Good places to look for well-rated free tools are Gizmo’s Freeware and Lifehacker, although it looks like there’s only one recommended free tool there.

    I can advise you on wine pairings to make sure you don’t get tortured again. So that means I’m a good take-along accessory. Just think of me as an app.

    Can you do anything with Picasa 3? I haven’t tried, but it seems to do everything else.
