Across The Panama Canal

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

An ArcticTropic traveler, Morgan Hartman, is currently aboard a Silver Sea cruiseship enroute from Cartagena, Colombia to Acapulco,Mexico. Yesterday the ship traversed the Panama Canal, making the 52 mile trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific in about ten hours.

The canal saves thousands of miles in travel around South America. There is a one year waiting list to get though.

Morgan is aboard to promote some excellent wines from Vine Connections.

Panama

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Panama is the crossroads of the world – only 52 miles from Atlantic to Pacific. Only 2 and a half hours from Miami ! From the air one can see both oceans at once. The Pan American Highway – running from Alaska to Tierra delFuego is interrupted for 100 miles into Colombia in the almost impenetrable Darien Gap.
