Canal Day Part I, Gatun Locks and Lake
30 декабря 2023 г., Панама ⋅ ⛅ 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.Читать далее

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
30 декабря 2023 г., Панама ⋅ ⛅ 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.Читать далее

Costa Rica (for a few hours)

We have been to Costa Rica four times now, and one of the things that always brought us back is still apparent today; the warmth and kindness of the Costa Rican people. Maybe there's something to beЧитать далее

ПутешественникSo you got invited to a wedding because of Oregon ties? So like you guys making friends wherever you are ❤️❤️
ПутешественникI 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 💕
One of my friend’s parent were engaged at Crater Lake she was a maid he was “bellhop” in the 40s they were together til their passing! Good omens there [Cathy Schroth]

Pizza & a Movie
4 января 2024 г., 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! 😆😆😆
ПутешественникAnn did not enjoy JW4 as it's one long fight scene which is lame. ❤️
ПутешественникActually 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?
Looks like a good pizza.you two are having a wonderful adventure [George]

Went to this wonderful little coffee shop in West Hollywood (WeHo), with this amazing garden and this handsome bird.

Santa Barbara

Our second tender port, and a seal decided it would jump into the ship where the tender docks, they had to lure it out with fresh salmon. Wish I had a photo.

Our grandson went to us Santa Barbara now is in Boston u med school [George Wilson]
18,000 ft under keel, halfway to Hawaii
13 января 2024 г., North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌬 68 °F
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.
ПутешественникI'll easily take that over the snow/ice storm we are enjoying in NW Oregon.🥶
Our ship is so small...
15 января 2024 г., North Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

Sail away day

We left Honolulu about 2 PM today, headed almost due south. Next stop, Bora Bora, about 2300 nautical miles.

ПутешественникBeautiful! 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.
Путешественник10 days at sea? That's the type of cruise I'm familiar with. Looks like you're having a wonderful time. Great pictures.
Путешественник10 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...
18 января 2024 г., North Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Someone asked about the pool situation. Photos are of the aft infinity pool and hot tub on the Aquavit terrace, and the main pool with the retractable roof that was closed in the photos (roof from onЧитать далее

Bora Bora!

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...
24 января 2024 г., Французская Полинезия ⋅ 🌧 81 °F
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 andЧитать далее

What happened to Monday?
30 января 2024 г., 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.

Apparently that is where you are when you cross the international date line from east to west.
ПутешественникYeah, I remember that!
ПутешественникLooks like a beautiful old world city. Was that a Toucan?

Looks like a common theme :-)
