Still in the nursing home while writing these cruise reports. I'm not sure when I'll be able to post them. Whew, out of the nursing home so here goes.

Whew, it's been a hectic couple of days for me with back to back excursions to Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Fortunately we had a day of rest before the canal proper. We spent most of the day on the promenade deck lounging and reading to relax. It was very nice.

Costa Rica, the nation with no military and friendly people. By far Puntarenas, Costa Rica was most interesting and enjoyable port we visited. We got up early and went to the designated excursion assembly area with our manual wheelchair. The port at Puntarenas has a very long pier which accommodated a gangplank from the ship so we could take my manual wheelchair with us on our excursion. As it turned out we didn't need the wheelchair because all the walks were short enough for me but had I needed it, my manual wheelchair (and my walker) easily fit under the bus once it was folded up (however there isn't room for power wheelchairs).

Had to temporarily stop writing because of an infection that sent me to the hospital. I'm finishing these cruise reports while recovering in a nursing home. Note: Keep clicking on a picture to see more information or to see a larger version of the picture.

On to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua but first we get to relax at sea for a couple of days. The next morning after Cabo grandma got a deal on a massage so she got up early and had her massage while I slept in bed. In fact I couldn't get out of bed without help so I waited until she returned. We went to breakfast late. Afterwords we found an elevator to the Sun deck where the grill was located and explored it.

I've just published my latest book, IncestAscide. It's full of DANGER, MYSTERY, SUSPENSE, INTRIGUE, MURDER, PASSION, LUST, BETRAYAL, and INCEST; in short all those things that make life interesting. Well, perhaps not personally but they do make for a darn good story (I hope)!
