After much research, four friends (Barb, Linda, Rita and Sharon) from ND decided to cruise to the Panama Canal in February 2009. We worked with our travel agent, Donna, at AAA in Fargo and made our final payment on November 11, 2008.
Little did we know there was so much to learn about cruising! We are booked on the Holland America cruise ship Zuiderdam. Our plans are to fly out of Fargo the morning of February 6, spend the night in Ft. Lauderdale and set sail on February 7for our 10 day cruise to the Southern Caribbean and the Panama Canal. The cruise will stop at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, Aruba, Curacao, the Panama Canal and Costa Rica.
Excited is just one word that would describe how we feel as we purchased our tickets, made sure our passports were up to date, talked about what to pack, visit customs, shop for clothes, get a start on our tan, share what we have learned from other cruisers, and wait for the day we get to leave all this snow behind. After the winter we have had we are anxious to get away to some warm places.
We hope to share this adventure with you through this blog.
