Welcome to 50. I hope you enjoyed the trip so far. Lots of folks don't make it to 50.

I really enjoyed your video. Having done a couple, I know how much time you put into editing and putting music and titles together. Where was it filmed?

You might want to do a spell check and a little editing. Spelling errors for me detract from the professionalism of this very nice product.

prefer
breathe
cruise
enjoy


Thanks for sharing and post lots.

I'd take them off tomorrow- or when the hangover clears and full vision comes back- Today is for celebrating.
