Panama Canal Cruise

Disney Wonder, anchored in Cabo San Lucas Harbor

On Sept. 14, 2013 we boarded the Disney Wonder in Los Angeles, California for a 14 night cruise through the Panama Canal to Galveston, Texas.  On the west coast of Mexico, we had shore excursions in Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. Then we went through the Panama Canal, and the following day made landfall at Cartegena, Columbia.  Our final Port-of-call was Cozumel, Mexico, then two days later we were back in the U.S. when we disembarked in Galveston, TX.

Several people we met on the ship expressed surprise when we told them this was our first cruise.  "You mean that you picked a 14 day cruise for your first cruise?  Most people make a 3-4 day cruise their first cruise to see if they like it first".  We usually told them, "Whats not to like?" 

As a matter of fact, They have another cruise next summer that I would love to take, but I've already got an idea of what to do next summer already.  Maybe the following summer.

Our October 2007 Vacation

In Early October, 2007, Lynne and Ron took a week off from work and went on a road trip through New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado.  We visited the UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico, the Painted Desert and Petrefied Forest National Park, the Meteor Crater in Winslow Arizona, a couple of sections of Historic Route 66,  The Grand Canyon National Park, The Four Corners National Monument and Mesa Verde National Park just outside Cortez, Colorado.

Ron and Steph in D.C.

During October of 1999, Ron and Steph used our flight privileges to take a day-trip to Washington D.C.  They spent the whole day at the Smithsonian Air-Space Museum on the Mall.  They saw many interesting sites, like the Washington Monument surrounded by scaffolding (it was closed for renovation), and Gemini and Apollo re-entry capsules, and the Wright Brother's prototype flying craft.
