The "salvia" had worked again but only half-way this time. Vibert awoke with pain in his right thigh and left calf. He walked like a wounded duck. Shanna was, for the most part, just fine. We had slept deeply on a singing bed, the Pico Duarte adventure behind us. And there was no mistaking where we were as the incessant roar of motorcycle engines indicated that Jarabacoa was already awake. And as much as we liked Jarabacoa, we instantly missed the absolute quiet and peace of the mountains. Breakfast was disappointing. We had opted for hot tea and cheese-and-vegetable pastelitos (or pasteches, similar construction like johnny cakes or bakes only tougher and sealed with the veges and cheese inside). Ours were way too oily. We ate what we could and then filled the space with jugos ... read more

********THIS IS MY VERY FIRST ENTRY THAT I COULDN´T SAVE BEFORE FOR WHATEVER REASON....SO SOME OF THE STUFF IS REPEATED IN THE NEXT ONE!!******** Wow, I don´t even know where to start. Really. One day, and I have incredible stories. To begin with though-I haven´t figured out this Peruvian keyboard yet, and as usual, I´m in a rush...so excuse all the mistakes por favor. And there will be many. So, thanks to Brookie and Steve, I got from Chicago to LA without a hitch....LA was a little confusing. Huge airport. I started speaking Spanish in LA....South American airline. Left English behind awhile ago, and my head is aching. Getting to El Salvador was cool-flew over lots of jungle and volcanoes. The airport is close to the ocean....looks a lot like Iowa. Flat, agriculture...except more tropical with ... read more

23 mai 2007 Ce matin nous avons décidé de redéfaire le système de batteries et le plancher qui recouvre le mécanisme du pilote automatique. Pour en avoir le coeur net et être certains que le tout est en ordre pour refaire les ajustements. ... read more

Olen nyt perillä Antiguassa! Eilen tuli muutos suunnitelmiin, kun Arturolle tuli työesteita, eikä se pääse lähtemään vasta kun ehkä torstaina.. Jos silloinkaan! En siis jäänyt odottelemaan, vaan menin ostamaan samantien bussilipun tänne Antiguaan. Ostin lipun yöbussiin joka lähti Floresista klo.23.00. Pikainen kamojen pakkaus ja sit olikin lahtö. Bussi oli ykkösluokan bussi täällä, mutta samanlainen siis mitä meillä on suomessa pidemmillä matkoilla. Hullu ilmastointi oli päällä melkein koko matkan, meinas tulla vilu vaikka olikin pitkähihanen paita ja farkut päällä! Matka kesti 7 tuntia Guatemala cityyn, siellä oltiin siis aamulla klo.6.00. Siellä olikin odottamassa jo seuraava pienempi bussi joka toi mut Antiguaan. Täällä on todella hienot maisemat! Tulivuori näkyy taustalla.. Tykkäsin Antiguasta heti kun tulin tänne! Täällä on tosi vihreet... read more

After a long and late night of DJing for the teen dance, hitting up the crew bar, dancing in the disco and staying up late down in crew cabins, Michelle and I managed to drag ourselves out of bed this morning and tendered to shore in Georgetown, Grand Cayman. I was on a mission to buy my personal Grand Cayman souvenir - a carved wooden stingray I'd seen weeks earlier when I wandered around Georgetown with Brooks. We went to the market area, disappointingly didn't succeed and spent some time in a few shops until I get everything sorted. I don't want to spend any time my last cruise shopping, just enjoying the ports, so between last week and today, I should be in pretty good shape. The two of us then headed to Treasure Island, ... read more
