Canal Day Part I, Gatun Locks and Lake
2023年12月30日, パナマ ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
For my engineering geeks, every time a ship traverses the Panama canal, 50 million gallons of water are released from lake Gatun into the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. That applies to the old locks.もっと詳しく

I love the blue water with you in a white shirt with the red umbrella. Very striking. I am enjoying your travels greatly by proxy. I feel like you packed me in you suitcase and smuggled me on with you both.
Panama Canal Part II, through the cut
2023年12月30日, パナマ ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
But first, lunch on the veranda as we cruise the lake. For my accounting geeks, the resident Panama Canal experts informed me it likely cost Viking somewhere north of $750,000 for our 6 hour transit.もっと詳しく

旅行者So you got invited to a wedding because of Oregon ties? So like you guys making friends wherever you are ❤️❤️
旅行者I can't believe how random this was and then how many connections we had. It was beautiful and I'm hoping to get a few more pics from the other attendees. We really do meet so many nice folks on our travels! But, there's nothing like friends like you two 💕

Today we really enjoyed a behind the scenes tour of the stores, laundry, food production, and engine control room. Very interesting! Asked not to photograph the engine control room.
Pizza & a Movie
2024年1月4日, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
And this is our night to NOT enjoy fine dining and enjoy a pizza and cokes with a movie. Ann loved John Wick 4 but Terry fell asleep. Terry will enjoy her movie choices some day! 😆😆😆
旅行者Actually all four movies are one long fight scene with a few cute doggies in and out of the picture. I think they could have cut three movies easily into the one. But what fun is that?
Cabo San Lucas

Two of five sea days left on our way to Hawaii. Moderate winds and seas and lots of water out there. Doing well in the bottom of the ship.

We left Honolulu about 2 PM today, headed almost due south. Next stop, Bora Bora, about 2300 nautical miles.
There was a showing of the old Around the World in 80 Days in the theater this afternoon.もっと詳しく
旅行者Beautiful! Don't go too crazy from being at sea for 10 days! I know it will just be unbearable lol. (Joking of course!) Much love guys.
旅行者10 days at sea? That's the type of cruise I'm familiar with. Looks like you're having a wonderful time. Great pictures.
旅行者10 days combined between Santa Barbara and Bora Bora, not ten straight. This should be the last long run assuming we go through the Red Sea.
Sea days are rough...

Amazing bit of paradise. Very rugged and of course tropical. Drove around the entire island and then stopped at the infamous Bloody Marys bar.
Moorea, wow...

As stunning as Bora Bora was, Moorea (moh-oh-ray-uh) was ten times as amazing. Rugged peaks and beautiful lagoons, truly paradise. Went on a six hour private (non Viking) excursion, just us andもっと詳しく

What happened to Monday?
2024年1月30日, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌬 72 °F
Went to bed Sunday night, woke up and it was Tuesday morning. Reminds me of a song from the 80's, "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats.
旅行者Yeah, I remember that!
旅行者Looks like a beautiful old world city. Was that a Toucan?

Looks like a common theme :-)
