Okay folks. I've done my part for the morning. The following link will take you to my first foray into iMovie making. I'm pretty proud of myself. Enjoy!

Hey Minichelle... Sounds like you have the rest covered. is it safe for me to leave my computer for the afternoon?

 

HAHAH HEY! looks terrific!

 

Nice job on the video.

Yep, the script is capturing away.

 

I think she will be the next ship under the bridge, comparing shots to Club(Wo)man's video.

 

Great job club(wo)man! From the distance, the Isolde and the Madame Butterfly look identical. I experienced what you are going through on December 30th and I have been driving my MINI for two weeks as of today. It won't be long now.

 

I think that's a different ship. The one in front of us says HANJIN on the side.

Anyway, enough playing for now. I want to stay home and watch... but I have to go

My dumb friends decided today was a good day to do our first ever book club meeting. I didn't even finish reading because of this. I made a movie instead. this is much more interesting. Oh well, at least there will be wine!

 

Hi,
We liked Safford when we drove through last year. Rich fell the first morning so we had to go home before we could see the southern towns we were interested in.
We need a lower altitude and warmer for him and for my mom so Flagstaff is out and way too expensive these last few years (as is Prescott). I want warmer because of my asthma. I have diabetes and walk 3 miles a day. Hard to do sometimes up here. I know Las Cruces is really larger than we want, but it has the services he needs and I would look for a place outside the city so we have room. Can't stand to live on top of each other.

Thanks so much for the input. My heart is in Kanab, Utah, but it is too small and too cold for everyone else.

 

SHE's here!!!!

 

Certainly looks like it doesn't it?

 

Does indeed.

 

Look how the clouds broke to let the sun shine on her. Wonder if the crew feels like they are being watched?

 

Traffic between SF and Sac was great, even in the rain, but the 1 hr stop at a friends house meant I didn't make it in time to see the bridge crossing. But that video was awesome club(wo)man. I'm going to send the link to my in-laws. They'll get a kick out of it.

I'm so glad to be sharing this day with others as excited as I.

 

Here's a quick video of it passing through Centennial Bridge:

Hey! the two ships which were before ISOLDE are now in the Miraflores Lock!

 

You all RULE!!!

 

I sure hope that ship moves out of the way so we get another good view!

 

Here it comes.

 

I can't believe I missed that last one. I had to catch up on packages to drop off on the way home. Arrghhh. I sat here through the entire thing, until that last lock. HOpe you guys got it on tape. I did print out a photo of the above thumbnail. I suppose it doesn't matter and that means our cars are just that much closer to coming home.

 

You still can see it! it is still there!

 

Its in the Miraflores lock right now - 18:04 Panama time - check it quick!

 

Thank you thank you thank you. My vigil is now fully satisfied.

 

Here's one from the hi-res cam. Too bad it didn't get into the closer lock.

 

And there she goes. Been quite a day!

 

I took a bunch of screenshots, but I'm hoping Minichelle will have another video for us shortly. Otherwise I am happy to post a few.

 

Thank you all for spending the day with me for this momentous occasion. I hope you all get to read my article that should be coming out shortly after Otto arrives. And I hope you will like it.
Now to go home and get a walk in to get my blood sugars down after such a sedentary day.
I have loved going through all of this with you guys! MINIs and MINI owners rule!
