Our "HOUSEBOAT" for the past two weeks. We cruised from San Diego, along the pacific coast, then through the Panama Canal and finally to Fort Lauderdale, our final destination. We made three stops in Mexico (Puerto Vallarta, Huatulco & Puerto Chiapas); one stop in Guatemala (Puerto Quetzal); one in Panama (Fuerto Amador) and finally one in Columbia ((Cartagena). I managed only two, three hour long, "Birding" excursions, both in Mexico, but I was able to get some good shots, including a number of lifers. I will be posting shots taken during this trip over the next few weeks.

B.T.W., I only gained one pound.
