Our circumnavigation of
South America begins…

Today is our second day at sea on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner making our way to transit the Panama Canal, visit Machu Picchu and Iguacu Falls, the Antarctic, and the Amazon River. We’ll return to our starting place: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, in 71 days on March 23^rd. Tomorrow is our first port of call, Willemstad, Curacao.

Avoiding the snow and storms back home, we spent four days in sunny and warm Florida ending up in Ft. Lauderdale. It was a perfect beginning.

But…enough of that. We are underway under mostly sunny skies plying our way through restful Caribbean Sea. Last night, we had our first Cruise Specialists’ Cocktail Party.

Amazingly, it was attended by all but 2 of our group of 36. We had a great time reacquainting ourselves with old friends and making new ones. This promises to be an outstanding 71 days. More to follow.
