"I now pronouce you Mr. & Mrs. ASCII Adam"

Adam and Kristi got married today on the cruise boat around 11:00 am Central time. The ceremony was in th middle of the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of the friends and family saw the ceremony "live" via a web cam provided on the ship. I recorded the ceremony via a screen recorder...the video looks weird being that the image changed only once every minute.

A little more editing is need before publishing. Should be up soon...

Adam is off on his Wedding/ Honeymoon

Today Adam and his future wife (Kristi) left for their Wedding/ Honeymoon from Minneapolis to Texas for a cruise. Only some relatives were able to attend during the week, for the others "stuck" home Adam discovered that they could attend the wedding virtually thourgh the ships web cams.

As he traveled and before the ship left the dock, we communcated back and forth on their progress via his smart phone (Treo 650). This will be a selection of the conversations to get an idea of how the first leg of their Wedding/ Honeymoon is going for them.

ADAM @6:48AM:STATUS

We couldn't find Harold and mom for a while. But then we saw Harold sitting by himself trying to fix his camera because the TSA people disassembled it.

Mom was complaining that thier seats (Harold and Her's) were not together, so they were called separately while the plane was boarding.

Kristi got me some travel passport zipping folder her's green, mine blue and we realized that it matched our clothes -which we didn't plan. I found it more annoying than anything because it was another thing to zip and unzip (like i didn't have enough; backpack, camera bag, jacket pockets, pants). And it is too big to put in my pants pocket.





ADAM @12:39AM:ON THE BUS
Coach bus from airport to the cruise boat dock.

It is going to be an hour ride Houston airport to Galveston.



DAN @ 12:41:ON THE BUS
thanks for the pics
is that a salad Harold is eating?
ADAM @ 12:57:ON THE BUS
actually, mom ordered it so that she can eat some of the egg and ham on the salad. Then she handed it on to harold to finish. But, he didn't want all of it so he passed it on to me.

it wasn't all that great. But, being that it came from the only accessible restaurant passed the TSA and within walking distance from the baggage claim. 'The Coffee Beanery'

Kristi and I ordered a bagel /creme cheese & a bag of jalapeno kettle chips . she didn't give me any of the chips.



DAN @1:01: ON THE BUS
How was the flight?
When do you board the ship?
ADAM@1:20 :ON THE BUS
wasn't too bad (the flight) the first plane was larger A320 plane. 3 seats 2 rows.

The second flight was on such a small plane 2 seats 2 rows, that there wasn't even a seat assignment (much like the bus that we are riding on.

Take off was smoother on smaller plane but you could feel more turbulence on the landing (swerved a bit).

Houston ain't much to look at this time of year. -someone on the bus said that it reminded them of Gary, IN.

Correction: the bus driver said that it is going to be an hour and one half drive from George Bush (Houston) International to the port of Galveston.






ADAM @2:18:CELL SERVICE IS GOOD...
the port of galveston has good cellphone service so once i get on the ship i will e-mail you to find out the delay of the webcam. Ok?

Could you verify if the cams are turned on and where i need to stand. It is difficult for me to pull up webcams on the treo.

It is probably going to be another hour or so by the time we get through customs to get on the ship.


DAN@3:18 :CELL SERVICE IS GOOD...
ONLY THE 180 DEGREE CAM IS WORKING FOR THE GRAND PRINCESS

DAN@3:30:WE ARE ON BOARD AND IN OUR STATEROOMS
I can't figure out what deck it is on but, there is a pool on the
front of the boat. the 180 degree view shows that
ADAM @ 3:35:WE ARE ON BOARD AND IN OUR STATEROOMS
there is some paper work to fill out and then we are going to eat so it will be a while before we are going to have time for the webcam. FYI

the URL for the wedding cam worked.

Maybe you can send the URL for the other webcam. I want to make sure that you get a chance to printscreen me on the webcam so you can post that picture on your blog.
