#45 - Cruising to South America through the Panama Canal

12/22/2018

We excitedly boarded the Norwegian Sun and checked into our 2 cabins that would be our home for 2 weeks. Fortunately, they were outside cabins with unobstructed views, but unfortunately, they were on different floors. Our first week was spent happily exploring the ship and smoothly sailing south past Cuba and the Dominican Republic, porting in Columbia, passing through the Panama Canal, and finally entering the vast Pacific Ocean. Our second week took us south of the equator to Ecuador, Peru and Chile with a final disembarkation in San Antonio, just an hour's drive from Santiago, where our next stay will be.
 Highlights:
  1. Kids Club on board
  2. Musical Entertainment
  3. All the general things that we like about taking a cruise
  4. Panama Canal transit
  5. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile
  6. Tera's Cruise Musings:Time, Structure, and Community while exploring the world with family.

    Plan? What plan?

    Our first Gap Year was a fabulous "2017-2018 School Year" of travel: from the Netherlands to Jordan to Texas to Hawaii to Mexico to Central America to London and back to the Netherlands. Our "2018 Summer Vacation" took us all around Western Europe, back to the USA on a transatlantic cruise, a road trip through New York and into Canada, and ending up in Utah. We have now kicked off the "2018-2019 School year" with a trip to Asia. Follow along with us on our visits to new places, as well as revisiting some of our favorite places from our time living there.  It's going to be great!!
