Panama Canal

The canal locks were great!

The Panama locks were Dad's favorite part of the trip

Mud Volcano in Colombia

In Cartagena, Colombia
we took a ride to the old Spanish castle

then past the grove of coconut trees

to our mud volcano


where we each had a mud massage.

Ooo-la-la, it was fun!

Two Days at Sea

There is nothing like a day at sea to relax you from head to toe--and we had 2 days at sea!

There is time to relax



and read

Time to explore

and be entertained

Time to swim

and play games

And always time to eat

Aruba

Aruba is an island in the Caribbean, famous for its beautiful beaches.

And clear water.

Peggy and Harry went sailing and snorkeling

and Eva.

The water was amazing.

The swimming was wonderful too!

Then it was time to meet the others back at the ship.

Panama Canal Cruise in review

We left from sunny Ft. Lauderdale for a 10-day cruise through the Caribbean Sea on Island Princess.

















Our traveling group was Millie & Harry (Peggy's brother & his wife), Sarah & Eva, Maurine & Robert, Arthur (Millie's brother), and Peggy (photographer for this shot).

















It was a wonderful chance to enjoy time together and see the beauties of this earth and sea. We had a marvelous time!

















Here's the gang at sailaway. If you haven't cruised, you really should. You see a different seaport and city each day. And you don't have to repack your suitcase. The food is included--fine dining with a five-course dinner every night, which is part of the fun and adventure.

















For years Dad and Mom have dreamed of going to the Panama Canal. It was a dream come true for them and for us! Dad's favorite part was going through the locks (which we will review in a few days).

Bon voyage!
