| #56 - Unseen picture Date: 2003-09-25 12:17:08 Posted By: ken |
| I have just loaded a whole bunch of never before seen pictures of the cruise on Lindas site. Make sure to check it out. I also fixed the upload feature so it accepts much large pictures so give that a try just in case your picture sizes were greater than 1 meg |
|
| #55 - our new family site Date: 2003-08-09 06:48:16 Posted By: Ken |
| How is everyone doing out there? I am going to start another website and make it a place where all our families can come together for everything. Can you feed me some ideas of the kinds of things you would like to see or things you would like to be able to do on the site. |
|
| #54 - Date: 2003-07-29 12:50:50 Posted By: ken |
| I am starting to understand why our cruise went so fast.. do you realize this next group is almost 1/2 through their cruise already??!! |
|
| #53 - More Photos! Date: 2003-07-27 09:07:55 Posted By: ken |
| Hi all... I have included all new photos to the 2nd and third photo album of the cruise site. Linda has also been really busy adding tons of photos to her site also. I hope everyone else has more photos to share with us also.. this is so much fun!! |
|
| #52 - Date: 2003-07-25 02:07:02 Posted By: Linda |
| I didn't even notice the date. I've been waiting to see a wedding. Oh well.... |
|
| #51 - We've been had! Date: 2003-07-25 01:32:07 Posted By: ken |
| Have I been the only guy out there keeping an eye on the wedding cam??? We've been had... check out the date on the wedding cam picture!! No wonder we havent seen anything |
|
| #50 - new sites are available Date: 2003-07-23 10:45:15 Posted By: ken |
| Hi there All,
I have several sites set up for everyone who wants to upload pictures. If I have not emailed you with information about your site then please let me know and I will make you a site also for your pictures. Alissa, Jamie Wiley, Jamie Arnold, and Patty, please let me know if you have pics you would like to share with all of us and I will gladly set you guys up... My web interface makes it really easy to upload pictures now!! |
|
| #49 - new picture area about complete Date: 2003-07-22 03:04:52 Posted By: ken |
| Hi there everyone.. I am about to finish up all the programming modifications I needed to make to my system in order to get everyone set up with their own area to upload pictures to. I will be including space for Christy, Kathy, Linda, Hank Sumikawa... anyone else?? Please email me if I missed anyone. I will be emailing each of you individually either tonight or tomorrow. |
|
| #48 - off again!! Date: 2003-07-20 01:24:41 Posted By: ken |
| Isn't this kind of strange to see that they have just dumped out the last set of passangers, loaded up, and are off sailing again!! I sure hope that some of the crew get a break every now and then to see their families. |
|
| #47 - wedding web cam now! Date: 2003-07-19 01:56:58 Posted By: ken |
| Hey there all, I added a wedding cam pic to the cruise details area. I wonder if we will see anyone get married this next trip.... Keep an eye out and let us know if you see anything |
|
| #46 - You should be getting different pictures. Date: 2003-07-19 11:28:36 Posted By: Ken |
| The cruise picture should update every 20 seconds in your browser. If it doesnt then make sure to hit refresh in the browser and you should be seeing something new each day. Right now (11:00 PST) they have the camera pointed at the seattle space needle. Man that last cruise went by fast also didnt it? |
|
| #45 - Sending photos Date: 2003-07-18 07:05:10 Posted By: Kathy |
| Hi Everyone,
Hey Ken, I am attempting to email you my photos to post on your web site. I have enjoyed your photos and can't wait to see everyone elses! The family photo came out so nice!
I could not get the camera from the front of the ship to show me anything except in port in Seattle.
Thanks,
Kathy |
|
| #44 - Reminising Date: 2003-07-17 09:55:37 Posted By: mary |
| Hi Everyone!
Hank, Sets and I are constantly reminising about the most awewsome time we had on the cruise. It was so wonderful for all 21 of us just to be together, see each other, eat together, laugh together, play together, etc. WHAT A WONDER-
FUL IDEA IT WAS TO CRUISE TOGETHER. Thank you all for making it possible. I will remember this cruise for a long time and will enjoy the memories forever. I agree with Jamie, let's not wait another 10 years to get together.
One thing that I didn't like about the cruise, is that it ended too soon. Sure wish we could have stayed on the ship another week or two. Sure enjoyed the sunny and cool weather in Alaska. It's just TOO HOT in Denver.
Looking forward to the next trip. Hope you are all fine. |
|
| #43 - We had really good weather!! Date: 2003-07-16 05:50:58 Posted By: Ken |
| Hey.. if you guys are checking out the web cam you quickly realize that we had some awesome weather while we were there!! I have seen a lot of fog during this cruise. Too bad they turned off the cameras for tracey arms. Lets check it out next week and see if they leave it on. (I really doubt it since that is 2600 more people that would be able to look at it also). I am busy working on the photo section of my site to allow individuals to enter their own photos to the site. I expect to have something this weekend... |
|
| #42 - I miss Alaska! Date: 2003-07-16 04:43:58 Posted By: Jamie |
| Ken, Thanks for such a great web site. I'm really enjoying the pictures and live cam shots. I miss Alaska! I stepped off the plane in Atlanta and was hit with the heat and humidity. Well, it's back to daily living - grocery shopping, paying bills, cleaning the house. I've been spoiled! I want to ring up the porter for some fresh towels and go down to the dining room for dinner. Wait! Now I have to do all that! Wahh... I'm so lucky to have married into such a fun family! You guys are all great and we had a wonderful time! I hope we don't have to wait another 10 years to see everyone again. Love, Jamie |
|
| #41 - sampling interval may be every 1 hour now Date: 2003-07-16 07:22:25 Posted By: ken |
| well, it appears as though they may reduce their sampling interval to once an hour as they head into tracy arms.. If so then it really wouldnt amaze me at all. I am getting the pics directly from the princess site so I can only display what they are updating. As you look at the web cam pics pay attention to the date/time displayed at the top of the page... this was changing at an interval of once every 60 seconds prior to skagway. I hope it starts running soon as they are entering tracy arms this morning in a couple hours.. Ken |
|
| #40 - Back in action Date: 2003-07-15 11:03:26 Posted By: ken |
| Well it looks like we are back in action again so make sure to use the "cruise details" menu selection to get to the live video cam tomorrow... This should be fun!! |
|
| #39 - Date: 2003-07-15 10:28:10 Posted By: ken |
| Well everyone... It looks like the star princess turned off the live video feed as of 5:43 today. I hope that it is running again for tracy arm but if not then I will bet you money it will be running again when the are done viewing the glacier tomorrow. I hope that the camera is working again soon but if not then I just wanted you all to know that it is not my code... Ken |
|
| #38 - Date: 2003-07-15 08:16:12 Posted By: Ken |
| Hi there Everyone.. I have just entered a bunch of pictures onto the site for everyone to look at. Please use the Cruise Details selection in the side menu bar to track the cruise boat during its voyage. Please let me know if you have any problems, especially since tomorrow the boat will be at the tracy arms.. |
|
| #37 - Date: 2003-07-15 06:58:14 Posted By: Kathy |
| Work was pretty tough for me today too! I swear I am still rocking! I had a wonderful time and it was great to see everyone and celebrate Hank & Sets 50th anniversary all together. Kato really was born to be a sled dog, just born in the wrong state. Tonight she pulled me half a block trying to chase a squirrel on the power line! Thank goodness that squirrel finally stopped! I'll try to email some pictures when I have time to figure out how to do it!
Love you all! It is so nice to belong to such a fun family!
Kathy |
|
| I enjoyed meeting all of you on our cruise. I had such a good time. It still feels like I'm rocking on the boat, but I guess that will pass soon. It is neat watching from the ship's bow. I'm looking forward to seeing the glacier and ice bergs. |
|
| #35 - Date: 2003-07-14 02:17:24 Posted By: Linda |
| I don't remember those tanks at all! It was pretty tough getting myself to work this morning, and its hot here too. And ARGHH!!! I've got to buy groceries and cook dinner??? Where's my menu with all the choices? |
|
| #34 - Web Cam Date: 2003-07-14 12:08:57 Posted By: Ken |
| Hi there everyone... Hope everyone made it home alright. Check out the website and you should see some familiar sites. I remember these holding tanks dont you? I wish they had a camera of the dock since I would be more familiar with that. Make sure to stay tuned in on Wednesday to see the glaciers, but remember there was a one hour difference from PST. You can now access the cruise site from my normal site at: http://kenskorner.org, then select Our_Cruise from the menu bar. Also select Cruise_Details from the menu bar to get day/time docking times as well as a map of where we were.. Have fun.. P.S. is it just me or does the ground feel like it is still rocking? |
|
| #33 - Date: 2003-07-10 04:40:10 Posted By: ken |
| on the cruise and having a blast. Only 2 more days left (boo). I am writing from the internet cafe and looking out the window at the ocean going by. It sure is fun and I couldnt ask for better company |
|
| #32 - Date: 2003-07-04 08:34:47 Posted By: ken |
| Well, I know that noone is reading this right now since we are all here and I think that I am the only guy with the internet connection, but I have started putting up photos so check them out. |
|
| #31 - Date: 2003-07-03 09:27:10 Posted By: Linda |
| I had to sit on mine to close it!
They better have irons available!!! |
|
| #30 - new suitcases Date: 2003-07-02 07:36:55 Posted By: ken |
| we had to buy some new suitcases... You gotta carry alot of stuff... humm maybe I can take 1/2 the underwear and just turn them inside out every other day.... |
|
| #29 - Date: 2003-07-02 06:46:48 Posted By: Linda |
| Almost done packing but don't think I'll be done till just before I head out the door! This is SO exciting! Its gonna be a blast! |
|
| #28 - e-mail address Date: 2003-07-01 09:15:35 Posted By: Mary |
| Hi Everyone!
No Ken, we are still in the process of packing. Guess we'd better get with it.....only 2 more days left to get it done.
Please use magnets844@hotmail.com when sending me e-mails whenever I am out of town. I have a hard time retrieving my mail from cfl.rr.com . Thanks.
See you all soon. Love, Mary |
|
| #27 - Yo! Ready to go? Date: 2003-07-01 12:53:59 Posted By: Ken |
| Is everyone packed but me?? |
|

Hi from the Mile High City!
Yoshie and I arrived in Denver on Wednesday without any problems making the flight connection in Atlanta. The plane was pretty full tho. Yoshie is an excellent traveler, she was able to ride in the cabin with the passengers but had to stay in her carrier under the seat. Since she couldn't ook out the window she was probably bored, so she slept most of the flying time.
Hurray! We are here in "cool" Denver and having a great time visiting with Hank and Sets. Had lunch with Patty last Friday.
We are excited about the cruise and have our suitcases out and have started packing some warm clothes to take. It's going to be tons of fun spending time together and we are
counting the days and looking forward to it. See you soon. |

| #25 - Date: 2003-06-29 06:57:27 Posted By: Linda |
| Being a southern-girl, no down in the closet!
I'm bringing my coat with a fleece liner.
Man, everytime I think I've got an idea of what to pack, something changes the plan. It sounds like its going to be colder than I thought, Brrrr.
Ken - thanks for updating my email address |
|
| #24 - Cold out there Date: 2003-06-27 08:37:52 Posted By: Ken |
| whoa... check out the temperature in ketakan and skagway.. 49 and 57 degrees over there. anyone taking down coats?? I think I read the temperature right.. Man that sound cold!! |
|
| #23 - Date: 2003-06-27 06:52:15 Posted By: Linda |
| Christy, thanks for all the info. Its really helpful. I can't believe its getting so close! |
|
| #22 - right around the corner Date: 2003-06-25 05:58:23 Posted By: Ken |
| Whoa!! it is getting really close to cruise time!!! I can feel the cool breeze from here.... It is over 100 today in Livermore. Yuck! |
|
| #21 - dress Date: 2003-06-22 03:23:34 Posted By: Linda |
| The brochure said 5-nights are smart casual and 2-nights are formal. Along with Jamie's question, I'd like to know how you all are dressing for "smart casual". Thanks! |
|
| #20 - Date: 2003-06-22 08:00:41 Posted By: Jamie |
| How dressy are the formal nights? I understand there are two of them. Do we get really dressed up for both? I bought a formal dress (it was a good sale) and also have a cocktail dress. How do I dress the kids? Does Jimmy need a jacket and tie? Anyone know? |
|
| #19 - Digital Pics Date: 2003-06-18 07:35:44 Posted By: Linda |
| I will be taking digital photos. It doesn't matter to me if I have a separate album or we have one large album. Any need for a bathing suit? Is there a hot tub? |
|
| #18 - Digital Pics Date: 2003-06-17 05:21:14 Posted By: Ken |
| Who all can take digital pictures out there. I am trying to figure out whether I need to set this site up to accept pictures from different people in our group or whether we should group them all together into one huge photo album. Let me know if you can take digital pictures and I whether you would like your own seperate photo album space or not. |
|
| #17 - Shorts Date: 2003-06-15 02:22:11 Posted By: Patty |
| Last time we went on the cruise we generally wore long pants. When we went eon the helicopter ride, we took our coats, gloves and hats, and it was cold. I would also recommend taking a sweater or sweatshirt as well and possibly rain gear.
The kids will probably take along at least 1 pair of shorts.
Only 20 days left and it is going to be great! |
|

| #15 - Packing? Date: 2003-06-13 05:11:18 Posted By: Linda |
| I'm really looking forward to the cruise and VACATION too! I've started my "pile to pack" and got my BIG suitcase from storage. Can't wait!!! |
|
| #14 - Got Mail? Date: 2003-06-10 10:37:25 Posted By: Ken |
| anyone out there start packing yet? Is everyone getting these emails? Please either email back to me when you get a chance, or post a reply on the forum so I know that all email addresses are correct and up to date. Thanks |
|
| #13 - EMAIL Everyone Date: 2003-06-04 01:45:24 Posted By: Ken |
| Hi there everyone... I just got a section on the cruise site that will allow anyone to email to everyone something they would like to share. It is located int the side menu under "Mail Everyone" and should have only us cruise people in the email list. If you get this letter can you make sure to drop me a letter back so I make sure my program is working correctly. Oh yes... if you type a letter to All then it also automatically gets entered into our forum area to make doubley sure everyone gets to see it.... Enjoy |

| This is great having the web site. Thanks Ken.
It was nice to talk to Uncle Hank tonight too.
Linda, Jamie & I will be staying at the Mayflower hotel 7/4 with "little Hank's" family.
I am happy Jamie was able to sign us up for the Whale watching, train and helicopter/dog sledding! Sounds like we will all have a great time! My mom really wanted to do the dog sledding and I think it will be a real interesting experience! Kato drags be around 2 miles everynight, but I don't have a sled!!
