Gloomy day at sea

We are battling some headwinds and the sea is not being very Pacific, or calm. We’ve been rocking and rollin’ all day. It’s been cloudy and windy all day. We considered a walk around the deck this morning-very briefly. Once we saw the people outside getting windblown and trying to stay erect,...

Cabo San Lucas

The photo below is of the sunrise as we came into the town. I was last here in the early 2000’s. Boy has this place changed! It’s no longer a sleepy fishing village. We had breakfast in the room before meeting in the theater to group up for the tender ride to the docks....

Day 4 at sea

Another successful day at sea. We went to the restaurant to be served our breakfast. Then back to room to await the 11:00 AM lecture by a man who rowed across the Atlantic Ocean. We’ve been wanting to hear him because everyone says he’s so good. Well, we didn’t make it today either....

Day 3 of 4 at sea

it was pretty much like the 2 before it. We were supposed to go on a behind the scenes tour of the ship but Bunny wasn’t up to it. So we will reserve it another day. We went to Team Trivia. We recruited a couple more members on our team. Doesn’t mean we did...

No Photos Tonight

Today was another day at sea. We had breakfast delivered to the room. I could get very used to this service! We went to a lecture on Central America by Mr Iain James, a lovely British chap. He’s a very entertaining speaker. Then it was Team Trivia at 12:15. At noon every...

At Sea Again

This is our first of 4 days at sea on the way to Cabo San Lucas. Bunny had a bad night, fighting the cold I gave her. She had a board meeting on Zoom, so she decided to spend the day recuperating in the room. I feel very guilty giving her my cold. ...

Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We arrived bright and Early this morning in Puntarenas. We had breakfast in the room before setting off on our Panoramic tour. We went to a small town nearby. We parked along a street by the town plaza. We were treated to a folkloric dance by children. They were dressed in the native...

Sea Day

I was feeling pretty lousy today. We skipped Baggo and Team Trivia. I spent most of the day sleeping while Bunny edited photos. We went to the photography lecture. I felt much better after my nap. We ran into 2 nurse friends we met and they gave me 2 packets of Airborne. I will...

Panama Canal

Today we spent most of the day in the forward lounger at Ching the crossing. We arose early so we could get a place in the lounge. We found a good seat, then later we realized the deck outside would be full of people and we’d miss it all. We kept our seats and took...

Sea to Ocean in One Hour

Today we are in Colon , Panama. Colon is an old city and sure looks it. It hasn’t been well cared for. Buildings are run down, the traffic is awful. We took a short bus ride from the ship to the train station. We boarded the Panama Canal Railway for our ride to...
