I'm flying tomorrow to Seattle, boarding The Queen Elizabeth for this 22 day journey. I probably won't do posts along the way as the WiFi sucks and is iffy most of the time, but will do a photo dump on my return.

Have a great trip, looking forward seeing pics. Plus one of the coolest palindromes “A man a plan a canal panama”
-
safe travels

This is way up the list on best things I have ever done. The trip was great, 22 days at sea, and the stops along the way. I'll share some stops in the order they occurred. Then transiting the canal. We went through the original section which was great. Started of in Seattle, unfortunately did not spend time there.
Next stop San Francisco
Had lunch here with relatives
Sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Los Angeles next, being the crazy person I am we went to the Queen Mary, which I have been to before and loved.

Now there will be a big photo dump of going through the canal. It starts with entering Panama City, then The Miraflores Locks, The Pedro Miguel Locks, then exiting The Gatun Locks. We arrived Panama City around 5:45 AM, started the 1st Lock around 7 AM, and the hit the Atlantic Ocean around 5 PM.
Looking down, there is only a 2 to 3 foot space between the ship and canal
-
During the begining there a bunch of Locals that come out to watch the ships pass through.
