PA trip

Megan and I will be in Pennsylvania until 10 June. We are having a good time visiting family and friends from all over.

The day before we left Pohnpei I dropped our camera 3 feet onto a hard tile floor. Now it is unable to focus so we didn't get any pics of Hawaii or Oregon. I have since taken a few pictures using my new phone. We signed up with Sprint which seems to work well every place we've visited except a small pocket of Syracuse. Our plan is awesome. $30 per month gets us 500 anytime minutes, unlimited Internet access, unlimited text messaging, unlimited picture messaging, unlimited nights and weeknends (starting at 7pm) and unlimited sprint tv. For our "family" thats $60/month which is $10 less than verizons cheapest family plan and our plan has all that other great stuff. Because our phones have internet we rarely use the computer to check email. The picture quailty however leaves quite a bit to be desired...



That is Molly, my parents dog, and Oliver playing. I was trying to take a picture of Oliver grabbing Molly's leash and taking her for a walk.

Here is a picture of Yellow Fin Tuna. You can't read it but it says $9.99 per pound. In Pohnpei it was $2.30 a pound...



Here is a picture of our dinner in one night in PA...



As you can see the picture quality is not that great. I wasn't expecting too much but since I was without camera my hopes were high.

On 30 May a swarm of bees engulfed Megan's parents backyard. After three or four hours they settled on a branch. This was quite a spectacle to hear and see...



I took ten pictures and even got a chair and stuck my hand three feet away from the 'hive' and the above one was the best I got. So I got on the information superhighway and found this camera for $110 at Circuit City. They even had it in the store. The pictures are much better than the camera phone and much better than I expected out of a 110 dollar camera. Below are some samples.

Here are the phones we got...

We sure were glad to welcome you home to PA. Sad about your camera, but it did a good job this past year and the phone camera was pretty good. If I'd have known about those bees, I'm not sure I would have visited outside with you. Megan knitting...I remember needlepointing a diaper bag when Sandy was pregnant with her. (Lasted through all her babies!)

That post made me laugh because it was like an advertisement for Sprint.

The bees would've totally freaked me out. I don't like any kind of flying bugs with stingers.
