Trip of a Lifetime: Part 1

I have spent the last few days dealing with my Dad's diagnosis. I had to call siblings and family and explain what it meant. Was not fun. But now I want to show you some fun.

In 2006, my husband and I asked my Dad where he would like to visit if he could go anywhere in the world. He replied: "The Panama Canal." So we went about booking a 2 week cruise through the Panama Canal. We had a fantastic, huge room at the back of the ship Infinity with an awesome view. After the cruise was over my Dad wrote me a letter stating that it was the trip of a lifetime. He'd never taken a 2 week vacation and had never been on a cruise ship or out of the U.S.A. really---ok, I don't count taking him to Tijuana when I lived in San Diego. Anyway, the 3 of us had a blast. Enjoy the photos.

Acapulco, Mexico cliff divers.





Huataulco, Mexico. We spent the whole day on the beach with drinks, food and beach chairs for only $31.00!





Passed out in the sun on our way to Costa Rica.





In the hills of Costa Rica. These 2 little girls were lovely and spoke English and Spanish to my Dad. They followed him around and he met their father. He thought they were beautiful.
