What can you say about the Panama Canal? huge, spectacular, stunning, historical ... wow how did they ever dig this canal? The truth is that all of these describe the Panama Canal. I had no idea what to expect, of course this is from a woman who thought the term “mules” referred to actual mules, not small trains that help to pull the ship through the locks – Were there ever actual mules? I don’t know – but the canal is a great timesaver for ships to get to the other side. We sailed from the Pacific through the canal to the Atlantic right into Caribbean waters. At one point, in the last lock we were so close to the wall of the canal that we actually reached out and touched it – history was on our fingertips and it was unreal to imagine exactly what we were doing until after we had passed through.

Hi - we met you guys on the Island Princess. We are from the UK and were really envious of your planned trip. You were having such a great time - We are looking forward to keeping up with all your news and will be interested to know what you like - or don't - about the UK.
We are home now and reliving our memories through the photos of our trip. What memories you two will have! Keep posting the updates and photos we will enjoy reading them. Have fun. Best wishes from Linda and Brian Elkin.
Dear Linda & Brian,
Thank you for taking the time to not only look at the blog but to post a comment - sometimes I feel as though I am writing to myself - which is good, but the comments mean so much. Saturday we sail from Florida to Rome, then the Greek Islands, then a month in the UK -I will be writing alot about the UK I am sure. We are looking forward to it. I am so happy you enjoy the photos.
Cheers~ and best wishes!
