Another Cruise

Hello Again, we are off on another cruise.  We leave Fort Lauderdale on April 28 for a 19 day cruise through the Panama Canal.  We are going East to West which will make a different trip than the last time.  Also, we are taking Princess this time rather than Holland American.  We are traveling with friends, Janet and Mark, and we will be flying down the day before, leaving SeaTac on April 27. 

Jim and I are going to West Seattle on April 25 to meet up with our daughter Libby to celebrate my birthday and get an early start on the cruise.  For my birthday we are going to Lola's, a Tom Douglas restaurant in Seattle, and then to the 5th Avenue Theater for A Room With a View, a Broadway musical.  That's a pretty fancy birthday party. We can have rustic Mediterranean cuisine at Lola, another in the Tom Douglas family of exceptional downtown restaurants. We are told not to miss the ouzo sizzling kebabs, steaming savory tagines or the grilled to order pita bread, brought  fresh from their own Dahlia bread bakery right across the street. 

We are very excited about the dinner, and the theater after.  I hope Jim enjoys the play; I know I will.  This multifaceted love story is set in Florence, Italy, in 1908 and tells the tale of the romance between Lucy Honeychurch and George Emerson in Edwardian English society. I love Downton Abby, and this will be a great beginning to our cruise.  

We have a balcony this time, on the port side, so we are looking out to see as we sail up the west coast, but we should see amazing sunsets from our cabin.  We have stops in Cartagena, Columbia, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Los Angeles, Victoria and Vancouver, BC.  Of course, we have lots of sea days, too.  (10 days at sea)  We like those quiet sea days because we aren't tempted to go ashore and really relax on board.  

I hope to post almost every day, depending on the availability for internet.  We should be great on port days and the Panama Canal area.  Sea days may not be so easy.  Looking forward to another blog.  Good Day!
