We arrived in Miami early this morning... absolutely no problem getting off the ship and on to the hotel. We are sitting in the lobby waiting for the room now.
Transiting the Panama Canal was an awesome experience... so glad we were able to do it. Incredible to see how enormous ships are moved so easily and quickly up through the locks and then down again. We could hardly tear ourselves away from the deck - just like everyone else on the ship!
Grand Cayman was hot hot hot and incredibly humid. We walked down to Seven Mile Beach and sat on a small dock watching the fishes swim in impossibly transparent water. Then we walked back and went on our Atlantis Submarine trip. Forty people sitting back to back down the center of a small submarine, facing the portholes. Crowded but light and bright enough to prevent claustrophobia. We dived down and saw thousands of reef fish of all kinds, blue and yellow and black, striped and spotted, big and tiny. The biggest creature we saw was a turtle (not sure what kind), munching on something. We dove to 108 feet. I'm sure this is the deepest I will ever go in the ocean and it was exhilarating.
Will write more later. And I'll start posting photos too (of which there are many!).
