Panama Canal Cruise Fall 2009

We had a wonderful 15-day cruise from LA through the Panama Canal to Fort Lauderdale. Stops were Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, and Huatulco in Mexico; Puntarenas Costa Rica; Puerto Amador, Panama City in Panama; Cartagena, Colombia; and Aruba where we saw the whole island. Met wonderful dinner partners Tom and Rosalie Wiggins and Tom and RuthAnn Pierick, from Menafee and Canyon Lake CA. It was a great time!
