Deep into the Amazon

Somewhere is posted the write up (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...azon-more.html) , but here are our pictures. Wife had some med issues, but is now full bolt catching up with our pictures. These
are perhaps some of the very best.

In February/March of 2013 we took a 23 day South America, Amazon River and Caribbean Cruise. The cruise started with an overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Once we boarded the ship our first stops before entering the Amazon River were Salvador, Brazil and Fortaleza, Brazil. We visited 5 ports along the Amazon River, they were – Alter Do Chao, Boca De Valeria, Manaus, Parintins and Santaren. Before leaving South America we were to visit Devil’s Island, French Guiana, but due to heavy seas we were unable to get to shore. In the Caribbean we visited, Bridgetown, Barbados, Gustatavia, St. Barts and San Juan, Puerto Rico, before heading to our ending destination of Miami. Florida.

3. Click on the 2013 Amazon River Cruise Album, there are 602 pictures – South America and Amazon (412) pictures and Caribbean (190) pictures. View them “By Picture” Item 4 or in “Slideshow” Items 5 – 9.

4. “By Picture”: View the first picture by selecting it. Now click the second picture in the band of pictures above or the arrow at the end of the bank. You are now viewing picture 2. Continue to view the pictures by clicking the arrow. Note an arrow to the left of the bank will take you back to the previous picture. You may need to scroll the picture up to read the captions Also indicated just above this band are the number of photos and which photo you are on. Once you have finished viewing the photos, click Log Off (at the very top of the page) to exit Snapfish. If you wish to view using the Slideshow please follow the instructions 5 through 9 below.

5. “Slideshow” (recommended): Select the Box titled Slideshow on the right side just above the pictures. This will bring up a small screen mode of the slideshow. The slideshow starts immediately so you may want to pause the slideshow. To do this, go the arrows shown on the bottom left of the screen, select the two vertical lines between the arrows to effect the pause. As you most likely have missed the first of the slides you will then need to select the two arrows and a vertical line on the furthest left on the bottom of the page, this will take you back to the start of the slides.

6. Once you have paused the slideshow and then before once more beginning the Slideshow we suggest you set the following options first – at the bottom of the screen on the right hand side are 4 icons, the first one sets the timing of the slides (the preset timing is fast, so just slide the dial down close to the bottom of the timing range), the second is for “full screen mode” (immediately goes to this upon selection, which we suggest you chose), the third is to set the background color (suggest ignore), and the last is to view the captions, which we strongly suggest you select, so just click on that option. Now all the options are set and you should be in “full screen mode”, while in full screen mode all the arrows and options are at the bottom of the screen (these options disappear while viewing the slides, just move your mouse and they reappear). When you want to leave this just hit your escape key at any time or at the end of all the slides – this takes you back to the smaller screen viewing.

7. You are now ready to view the slides. Click on the large center arrow at the bottom of the page to start the Slideshow (it will revert to “pause” double bars). Warning Note – clicking the double arrows to the right takes you directly to the end of the pictures.

8. While viewing the Slideshow in “full screen mode” the bottom bar will go away and all you need to do is to move your mouse and it will reappear.

9. Once done (or anytime you wish) you can then exit the program as follows – first hit the escape key and that will take you out of “full screen mode” you then will have the initial smaller screen viewing of the slides, select the X in the red box at the right top hand side and that will send you back to the initial snapfish page. You then just need to Log Off the Snapfish Site by selecting that option at the top of the page.
