To capture the images or not?

One last blog entry before departure. Have been thinking about how often I want to be tryi g to capture everything on photo or video. As with a new camera I'm still learning things along the way, but the last thing I want is to be tied down to trying to capture every amazing image I will see and hear. A good friend (thanks, Chris!) who knows his way very well around the camera repeated that "take it all in, just dont feel that you have to share everything. It will take away from the experience." I will try to share this experience as much as I can, but I want to feel as much as I can with my eyes, my ears, my mind and especially my heart. Just my soapbox for the day, as I'm sure I'll try to convey this all either by image or written word. Ship boarding is in 2 hours!! Anxiety and excitement are the emotions for the day.
