>> Mornin' all,

> 

> Whew!... We're home. Arrived in Nashville from Los Angeles at almost 

> midnight Wednesday night. Had a 8AM appointment with my doc Thursday 

> morning (will explain that in a minute), drove home and spent yesterday 

> unpacking, doing laundry and just plain collapsing/relaxing. Now I've 

> got over 2,000 photos (as you know, Sandie and I love to take photos ;o) 

> ) to sift through and post something either on my web site or 

> PictureTrail. Not sure when I'll get to it because it seems a lot of 

> things have backed up while we were traveling and, of course, more 

> medical followups on the schedule. We're back to the status quo.

> 

> We had beautiful (though often, hot) weather for the whole cruise-- From 

> Ft. Lauderdale to VeraCruz, Mexico, April 25th. On to Dos Bocas 

> (Paraiso), Mexico on the 26th; Progreso (Merida), Yucatan the 27th then 

> had a couple "days at sea" on the 28th and 29th. The 30th we were in 

> Cartagena, Columbia.

> 

> May 1st we entered the Panama Canal and headed for the Pacific ocean. 

> May 2nd we cruised Golfo Dulce and May 3rd, spent the day at Puerto 

> Caldera, Costa Rica. May 4th we were in Corinto, Nicaragua followed by a 

> day in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala on the 5th. May 6th was another "day at 

> sea" as we made our way to Acapulco, Mexico for the 7th. May 8th was 

> another day at sea. On May 9th we were in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. May 

> 10th we cruised all day and arrived in Los Angeles on the morning of the 

> 11th, caught the flight home (via Atlanta) and landed in Nashville at 

> almost midnight as I mentioned above.

> 

> It was an enjoyable and informative 3 weeks and I'll mention details 

> from our various stops when I post the pictures. The only downside for 

> the trip was that Sandie came down with bronchitis about a week ago and 

> my appointment with my doc was made because the situation with my 

> nerves/hips/legs got a lot worse during all the walking tours At home I 

> can sit for a while when that problem surfaces (which is any time I 

> stand or walk for an extended period) but on the cruise tours that 

> usually wasn't an option. Of course dealing with the respiratory 

> situation was an ongoing concern as well but life goes on. On the plus 

> side we pre-registered for a 30 day cruise to Hawaii, Tahiti and other 

> South Sea Islands as our next future destination with Holland America. 

> The good times roll on ;o) !
