I’m traveling alone on a cruise in the Caribbean for the next week and a half. I’m looking forward to seeing some parts of Central and South America that I’ve not been to before.
After Costa Rica, it was time to head home. We sailed for two nights back to Fort Lauderdale. Since my flight back to Seattle departed late in the day, I had the opportunity to go out on a sight-seeing tour in the Everglades “on the way” to the airport.
We sailed overnight from Panama to Limón, Costa Rica. Today’s shore excursion from Limón included a tour of a rain forest and a visit to the Tortguero Canals near the Atlantic coast.
We left Cartagena last night and arrived early this morning at the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal. We sailed into Lake Gatún, the first major inland lake on the canal, and then I took a shore excursion to see the new version of the canal and some local culture.
We sailed overnight to Curaçao, making this my second new island nation in as many days.
After leaving the Bahamas, we sailed for most of two days to get to Aruba, an island nation just off the South American coast.
In the first few days or this trip, I’ve flown from Seattle to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, boarded the cruise ship, and sailed to a private island in the Bahamas.
You can see more of my travel stories without having to check back randomly to see if I’ve posted something new.
Thank you for following along!
