We will have to return though because there is just too much to see and we never got any hikes in at all.

It will allow you to convert the resolution (and if necessary the file type) of the videos to lower resolutions and thus smaller files. But depending on the amount of time of the video and the resolution you choose (720p, 640x480) the files can still end up being quite large for uploading via a cell connection... Videos will use a lot of you allowed data plan.<br /><br />It's great you got to visit with George.

Only we took an enjoyable harbor cruise on the Adventure Hornblower, and a week or so later, it crashed into the dock as it was coming in! (not good) Like San Diego!<br /><br />This afternoon, we downloaded all our GoPro videos from our March trip, and that's all we've done so far. Jimmy took a whole lot of video! Altho we have plenty of internet, it takes a lot of time to edit, etc., so ... no hurries!
