It's overcast as we dock in Cartagena Columbia. The dock is right next to the cargo container shipping area in what seems like an industrial zone. It's warm and humid here. Wonder if it's always this warm here? We get ourselves together and head up for a quick breakfast for 9:30am meeting time to get checked in for our tour. I'd forgotten some m&m's in my backpack and had to take them back to the cabin, as we had been warned that food of any kind was not all...

Stacey is up this morning at 5:20am and wakes me 5:30am. She gets dressed and slowly so do I. The ship picks up it's pilot before 6am and starts to move not long after that. It seems like we've moved during the night because I don't see the city lights like I did before I went to bed. Stacey goes out to the verandah to take pictures and I want to go topside. Stacey refuses cause she doesn't want to go out without a shower in pj/scrub clothes. So, I go up to deck...

It's LAND!!! First we've seen of it since we left San Diego on September 12th. We're close to the coast, hugging the coast before rounding the final point leading to Panama City.

Word is, this will be the record for Disney Cruise Line, longest trip, days in a row between port days. We don't really do much today. Took an easy da...

So the plan yesterday was to go to the comedy show before dinner last night. I had some time before that, so I started working on the blog. Finished that, and still had some time, so I thought that I would try to check my email. I hadn't planned on doing that at all, but it looked like it would only be about 8 Mb worth of data so I decided to try. Data is at a premium on a cruise ship. Expensive. And slow. After it finished downloading, took about 10 minutes or ...

The sea days are blurring together now. Forgetting what day of the week it is. Where was I? Oh yes, going to the main theatre for the show. With Tropical Storm Polo safely behind us and with distance between us growing the waters have started to calm. That seems to have brought more people from bunkering down in their cabins and the main theatre seems more full than usual. Could be the entertainer as well. It's an Elton John Tribute featuring Jeffrey Allen. He's...
