adventure, action, thrilling movies with good stories filmed in the amazon jungle and amazon river.
Eg. Air craft crash, camping stories, getting lost in the jungle and the dangerous moments you have to face in the amazon jungle with dangerous animals etc.
The Emerald Forest (1985)
I’m going on a cruise and I’m going snorkeling.
I wanna buy a disposable underwater camera.
I looked them up on Amazon and I don’t know
whether to go with Kodak or Fujifilm.
The price doesn’t matter, I’m looking for best quality.
So which one do you prefer?
Have you had any problems with either?
I would highly recommend one of the newer digital waterproof cameras
I have the Fuji z33, and it’s a wonderful camera and only about $150. (and it takes video also)
You’ll save almost that much money on film processing…(Depending on how many pictures you take)
Just a thought.
Enjoy your trip
I’m traveling to Ecuador for a month with a Spanish class. We’ll be out in the the open (Amazon river basin, mountains, flat-lands, beech, etc.) for up to eight hours at a time. I need a backpack that can hold a Canon Rebel, extra lens, a notebook, and some other random small things… I would prefer it to be waterproof… does anyone know where I can find something like that?
Any suggestions?

Take a minute or two to read my story below. This isn’t the final draft, but I’m turning this draft in tomorrow and I want someone else’s opinion on my story. Is it good? Horrible? Over dramatic? Boring? Interesting? ANY ANSWER is appreciated, don’t be shy!
I believe that we were born to be here in this time, this moment, this place. This was easy to believe as I stood gazing up at the most spectacular display known to man, something we have all stopped to see at some point in our lives, something that has roused a resounding and brilliant sense of awe in all of us. Perhaps the fact that we were finally there, in the sweltering, muggy Amazon rainforest, teeming with life and a stunning sense of adventure, had already inspired us all. Maybe this was true, but I think the reason we students and teachers alike stopped in our tracks was the fact that, for most of us, we were truly seeing the night sky for the very first time.
I had rushed through many places and events in my past, but there are times in all of our lives that widen our eyes to the fact that yes, this moment is real, and it is our purpose to enjoy it. For me, it was seeing the stars — an unexplainable number of tiny lights, the stretch of varying shades of brilliant turquoise and faded white we call the Milky Way — that kept me entranced. I’d never seen anything like it; maybe in pictures taken by NASA, or in a Space documentary I saw on Discovery Channel. But of course, no picture can match the feeling of standing where I stood then, on the banks of the Tambopata River in the Amazon jungle, no lights to dim the sky but the ones so far above me. It truly was as if the earth had stood still, just for a moment, a moment that I could drag on forever as long as I simply stood there and kept looking up. No words were exchanged between any of us, the thirty some people standing there for ten, maybe fifteen minutes — it didn’t matter — all of us feeling the exact same way: insignificant under such a vast, endless display of lights, and amazed into silence. Well, that’s how we tried to describe the feeling afterwards, when we finally picked up our bags and headed off to the lodge to sleep. But very soon we gave up trying to find words to exchange; we fell silent as we stumbled through the dark lodge, without electricity, trying to find our rooms, knowing that conversation was pointless when we were all, for the moment, thinking the same thing.
I tried to remember what exactly had caused the prolonged pause, the group of us slowing to a stop and losing ourselves in the silence, spellbound by our own thoughts as we looked up at the sky. All I could remember was thinking that I didn’t really care about the mosquitos eating me alive as I stood in the sand, temporarily forgetting about how tired and sweaty and hungry I was. I could have laid down in the sand, leaned against my backpack, and fallen asleep; that’s how long we stood on the banks of that river. Because rarely before then had I considered that maybe I don’t stop enough, just to be there, in the moment, at that time, in that place. Maybe I worry too much about the past, regretting, or maybe I worry too much about the future. When did regret get me anywhere? When did worrying about the trivial things help me out in the end? At some point, everyone realizes how foolish it is to constantly look ahead. Because occasionally, if you just stop for a moment, however briefly, and look, you’ll be able to see the stars.

Thank you for reading ~ Please take the time to answer! =)
ylime - oh…sorry if I didn’t put this in the description… this is a Personal Narrative writing assignment for school. Not a "story". 
I believe that we were born to be here in this time, this moment, this place…
Your opener got my attention. Very good opener.
Then you veered off the path. Do I have to travel to the Amazon to see stars..is this what the Amazon offers?
Amazon rain forest, teeming with life…..what kind?
turquoise and faded white we call the Milky Way — that kept me entranced. I’d never seen anything like it…..nice construction. I began to see what you saw.
we gave up trying to find words to exchange; we fell silent. ..hmmmm nice,nice.
I tried to remember what exactly had caused the prolonged pause… Hey! you wandered again! Great flow, here! ..but.. What exactly had caused the prolonged pause??
Maybe I worry too much about the past, regretting, or maybe I worry too much about the future. When did regret get me anywhere? When did worrying about the trivial things help me out in the end? At some point, everyone realizes how foolish it is to constantly look ……..
hmmmmm! you are doing it again! You have opened a very intriguing door for me and then shut it….tell me more about yourself, here. Why are you at the Amazon basin
if you just stop for a moment, however briefly, and look, you’ll be able to see the stars…Wow! Where would that put me if I read more?
You have talent as distant as those stars..and as close as their light.
You need to stand on the banks of "self" and take a moment to see the stars in you that I do…sometimes we stumble through a darkness looking for stars..like yours.
My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Spain last year with our college marching band and we got hard rock cafe shirts in Madrid. Sadly, he lost his on a tour bus. I want to surprise him for his birthday by getting him that shirt he lost.
I’ve searched eBay and Amazon and a few other online site to try and find this shirt. He didn’t get the typical white shirt which makes the search very difficult. Help?

if not call one up and ask how you can get one like your looking for
please answer my questions above, and what are some tips for catching largemouth and peacock like what kind of areas should i look for in lakes?
Best hard baits for large mouth bass right now in my opinion would be Rapala X-raps sizes 6, 8, and 10, in olive green, and rainbow trout colors. Or the BBZ 4 inch shad in natural shad color, floating, or slow sinking versions. The bbz shad is kind of pricey at $20-25 bucks a pop, but well worth it, make sure you use heavy line because some big bass are going to smack that thing, and im sure peacock bass will to. Koppers Live Target Bluegill and Pumpkinseed crank baits will work fairly well after the sunfish spawn, and i do believe they come with Daiichi hooks, which are sharp as ssshit! 4-6 inch plastic night crawlers/stick worms rigged wacky or texas style (with no weight) work very well also. When using the X-raps cast em’ out crank a few times then jerk, jerk, pause, repeat all the way back to you, sometimes you’ll have to figure out a different retrieve cadence if they don’t hit on the jerk jerk pause. Look for large mouth to be shallow this time of year, especially around any docks, weeds, rocks, logs, and big blown down trees, or trees/branches hanging over the water just above the surface (big bass love overhangs). Sorry i don’t know very much at all about fishing for peacock bass. On tv Jimmy Houston was fishing for peacock bass back in little protected cove areas with allot of over hangs, and he was using Zara Puppies, and Jr. Spooks and he was rippin em’ left and right. Good luck, hope this helps!

Ok i am eligible for the annual upgrade on verizon because of my customer history and i could buy the phone off them for a certain price or just save $20 and buy from verizon. Also what phone seems like a better deal Droid eris or Samsung omnia 2? I have had the blackberry tour and Motorola droid but really did not like them. I want a fast smart phone with wifi that is realy not that bulky and for basic everyday use.
They might honor it, but if you get your phone through them, it has to be serviced through them (warranty, etc.) Verizon will not honor the other company’s warranty, and they wont service your phone. So i’d check out the warranty policy for wherever youre gonna buy it from
I am from Polk County, FL. I am looking for the closest place I can go to catch peacock bass. Also, any pointers or tips you may have would be appreciated. Thanks
The Tamiami Canal is one of the best places to catch Peacock Bass. The Tamiami has the easiest "public access" ramps than any other.
Here is a link to more info- http://www.peacockbassassociation.com/html/fl_tamiami_peacock_bass.html
Hope this helps ya?
