Today we got an eMail from Princess Cruises, telling us that they've had to change the itinerary on the Panama Canal cruise that's the last leg of next year's big holiday.
Although we're still going to Panama, of course, including shore excursions around the Canal, we're now not stopping for the planned day at Fuerte Amador in Panama. This is a bit disappointing, because we'd have been able to go into Panama City from there, and from the small amount of research I had done so far, it looked like an interesting city to visit.
However, instead, we're going to go to two extra places - San Juan Del Sur in Nicaragua, and Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.
In my youth, Nicaragua was a place that you would never dream of visiting, but now the travel websites say things like "Once viewed as a 'no go' holiday destination, Nicaragua has overcome civil unrest, dictatorship and natural disasters." - and even from a quick look it does seem that we should enjoy our short time there.
And of course, I've heard of Cabo San Lucas - it looks like a lovely 'last stop' on our very long holiday.
So, the count for this holiday is now 13 completely separate countries, some of which we visit more than once! Just have to hope that the dollar stops its downward slide, or I'll be working until I'm 97 to pay for it :-)
