My wife and I are leaving tomorrow for a sixteen night Panama Canal cruise. For me, this is a sixty year delayed cruise. When I was a kid in the mid-fifties, my Dad, an AF SAC bomber flight engineer, was transferred to Puerto Rico. AF personnel and dependents could hitch free rides on Navy freighters from PR through the canal, then catch a freighter headed the opposite direction. It was free. We were excited. Then the Arabs decided to start a war with Israel over the Suez Canal. The bombers forward deployed to Africa, the Navy's freighters headed out to support the fleet, and mom and I were left back in PR. Sixty years later the Royal Caribbean cruise comes with free champagne and a much nicer cabin. See y'all on the flip side.
