The photos are fantastic!

I agree Mike what a great website...Frubal to CoolGool and WELCOME!!!

Thanks!
Yes, I spent a lot of time on this web site, but it was fun to do. It's nice to be able to provide people with info and photos and to get positive feedback from them!

Another site, of our first cruise with HAL in the Caribbean (mainly Mexico), is under construction.

See for photos my website of this year's cruise with Puntarenas as one of the ports of call. See my signature for the address.
Have a wonderful cruise!

Thanks very much, I appreciate your input. I also enjoyed the pictures on your web site. You have done a great job with telling the story of your cruise.

Hi CoolGool, I just went through your web site again. I am less than a week away from going on my Panama Canal cruise visiting all the same places. You really have done a tremendous job of your web site and it has really helped me to understand what I am about to experience.
Thanks.

Thanks GFL! I'm glad you liked it. Have a wonderful cruise!

Jim.. I strongly recommend the Vulcan Poas trip.. I've been up there several times and it's just awesome. It's semi-active and at times lets out a cloud of steam that can be seen for miles. But then again, Costa Rica is awesome... I wish I were there now...

Me too!!!!!

Just catching up on some threads..........thanks Rog for the recommendation.

Hi!

In Puntarenas, did anyone use a local guide, and if you did, who was it, or did everyone use the ship's excursion? I really prefer not to use the ship, but if that's all I can do, I will. I'll be cruising the Panama Canal the end of next month and am trying to plan things to do. All suggestions are welcome and needed.
