Back from our cruise to the Panama Canal and can I say what fun we had… not just being in places we haven’t traveled to before, but enjoying our time on the boat. Not that in our current retired life we need the rest and relaxation, but it was nice to get away and enjoy sunshine again and warm ocean breezes in the midst of a cold and wintery Michigan winter. Yes, I can see the possibility of a yearly trip away from snow.
We celebrated Bob’s birthday on board with a cake and champagne around the table, and special birthday songs by the wait staff which included an almost cake in the face. His gift from me was his name in lights…. literally.. I had a star named for him.. so somewhere in the cosmos (we have the actual location), there’s a sparkling light named, Bob….. well actually his full name, but I chuckle at the Bob Star.
Among other things we did, we traversed the top of the rainforest in an aerial tram car in Panama, shopped for emeralds in Columbia and coffee in Costa Rica. Did a little (very little) gambling, played daily trivia games, and drank a lot. So now it’s good to be home and get back into sleeping late in the mornings, picking up after the dogs, being on the computer and enjoying the benefits of a large bathroom.
Here is some of what we saw…..
