Keep in mind: Traffic and what happens. It *may* take longer than needed by a few minutes. Also, gas... I reckon depending on some people's mileage we may need to stop for gas.

I plan on being there as early as close to 10 as possible. I don't see us leaving much earlier than 10:45, but I do believe that we shouldn't leave too much later than that, and by 11 at the latest.

There are some people coming from fairly far away, and you never know what the traffic situation might be like, which is why we have an hour long window. That way people don't shoot for say 10:30 specifically and end up being late half an hour late because there was an accident or something. Sunday morning traffic shouldn't be that bad, but there is that odd chance that there could be road work someone didn't know about or a bad accident slowing things down.

As for stopping for gas, I understand this might be an issue for some people, especially those coming from a fair ways away. However, it doesn't take that long to get gas. I can understand people who don't need gas chatting for a few minutes while anyone who needs gas gets some, but we don't need to spend like half an hour filling up when it should take no more than 10 minutes.

The same can be said for pictures. Nobody is saying we can only stop for like 15 minutes two times to take pictures, but we did spend a bit too much time stopped on the cruise last time imo.


Basically, yeah I know traffic can be an issue, but I'm just trying to say that I don't really see any reason to spend 45 minutes talking after taking the pictures for 10 after driving for only 45 minutes or so.


And on a side note, I should have a nice camera of my own to bring along on the cruise. My friend has a Canon Rebel XS that he will should be letting me borrow to take some pictures for the cruise :) It's not the nicest DSLR ever, but hey, better than my lame ol' P&S.

A Rebel is awesome. Please tell me you know how to use the manual settings than to use the auto settings :)

I still wanna do the CMZC logo.... if anyone is up for it, since we just did the "M" on our last cruise.

Not from, but lived there from '05-'10. My actual # is a FL 850 #... I do miss Boise. Everything was so close, and you can go into the mountain passes so easily. lol.

Lol. I kind of know how to use the manual mode. I've only used the camera once and that's my experience with a dslr. I did get a decent picture of my old cellphone that I'll find and post later.

For anyone that wants it, call or text if needed if you're gonna be late or have a question or something. 3oh3-4eight9-11five1.
I don't answer calls until after 3 during the week (school), but I will respond to texts. And I won't use my phone while diving so if I don't answer at first give me a few to get where I need to be to respond.
