The trip was great. The trip home was SO NOT! I'm not going into details but it was the biggest comedy of errors I've ever experienced with a cruise line in my life. 4.5 hours standing in line at the airport waiting for Ticketing is unacceptable at the best of time but being pregnant made it even worse. Only 16 seats for over 300 people. UGH!
Anyway, the irony is that I thought I'd beaten the cold that was threatening before I left. Well, it hit me with a vengeance by the time I hit LAX on Saturday and now it's in full swing. I've got a terrible chesty cough. Luckily it's not in my lungs as yet. Fluids constantly.
I just hope I have my voice back in time for the Christmas concerts coming up soon.

Last Full Day Aboard Ship - Back Sunday
We're docked here in Huatulco MX and Rich is onshore doing Walk-about. I'm not feeling the greatest so I chose to stay aboard. Seen a lot of MX already myself. Huatulco is being groomed as the next Cancun.
Since I last blogged we've been through the canal which was amazing, been to a mangrove forest and macaw sanctuary in Costa Rica (highky recommend it to anyone), two relatively so-so tours (bus) in Nicaragua and Guatemala.
We got our second thanksgiving dinner last night. Couldn't avoid pumpkin if you tried. It was in every course. I mean absolutely every dish.
Tomorrow we disembark in Acapulco and do a tour around the city and to see the cliff divers then it's time to fly to LAX. Spend the night there and fly home Sunday afternoon. Just in time to get laundry done, play with the cat, sleep and the go to work the following day.
What a trip! Not soon forgotten. :)

Ola Panama!
We've just cleared the Pedro Miguel lock on the Pacific side of the canal. It is a 1 lock, 31 foot drop. In conjunction with the Miraflores locks (2 of them) we're dropping 26 metres back to sea level. We started the journey at about 6.30 this morning. It's now 3pm. It takes between 8-10 hours to traverse.
The humidity here is amazing. We have had condensation issues on camera lenses. Luckily though, it's been partially overcast most of the day. It's kept the temperature down.
Lots of pictures today. Rich actually said "I think this is more interesting and fun than tunnels!" And trust me, for Rich, that's saying something.
