Your tour sounds just like mine. Thanks for posting the pictures, good memories!

In early December 2010 my sister joined me for a partial Panama Canal on Zuiderdam. Someone from the roll call had found a vendor in Puerto Limon that had two excursions available. One was a leisurely boat ride on the coast showing the local flora and fauna. The second was to Veragua Rainforest, a bit of a distance from the port. The total time for both was a bit more than what was available, but by combining them and not returning to the port until the finish we made it in plenty of time. We had a relatively small group and went directly to the boats when we arrived in Puerto Limon. We spent about 90 minutes exploring the coast line, then loaded back into the bus for the trip to Veragua. That place is beautiful. It was, and still is, a research area that has tours as a side line. It was very well laid out and was very educational. Included was a overhead tram, and a zip line for those interested. Sorry, no pictures. I did take a few but that was a couple of moves ago and I’m not sure where they are. If you are in the area, consider either excursion. Veragua has information about excursions at https://veraguarainforest.com/Cruise-tourist/.

It is 7pm here on the east coast and the internet technician was here earlier. For information purposes, this is not the first time someone has been out here due to problems with the internet. He was actually here working outside for maybe ten or fifteen minutes before he came to the door and talked to me about the problem. It seems that my telephone line, and therefore internet, was connected so long ago that it was connected directly to the central office, about two miles away. It just happens that there is now a connection box across the street, about 250 feet away. He ran a new wire to the connection box and I have a better connection than I have ever had, and he is not finished. It will take about a week to get the connection finished and it should be better still.

Thanks for this. I was able to add mine a couple of minutes after, my initial post, and I removed the message about my internet problems. In my area we only have one choice for internet provider, and it isn't great. After my initial post I remembered that the desktop I use to post each morning has wireless capability and I turned on my phone hotspot to post the map. Hopefully they will be able to find the problem this afternoon and i will be better off, but my hopes are not real high.

I understand that, but the law wouldn't have been passed unless either a substantial number of people, or the right people, complained about the pricing structure.

It is interesting how attitudes change. Long ago cruises were all inclusive and were advertised as one price. The cruise lines did reserve the right to charge more if the port charges and taxes went up. People wanted to see those charges separately, so the cruise lines started selling them that way and started refunding when port charges went down. Now people are complaining about not seeing the full price, and advertising will change again until people complain again.

From Wikipedia BSD began life as a variant of Unix that programmers at the University of California at Berkeley, initially led by Bill Joy, began developing in the late 1970s. It included extra features, which were intertwined with code owned by AT&T. Several operating systems are based on BSD, including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, MidnightBSD, MirOS BSD, GhostBSD, Darwin and DragonFly BSD. Both NetBSD and FreeBSD were created in 1993. They were initially derived from 386BSD (also known as "Jolix"), and merged the 4.4BSD-Lite source code in 1994. OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD in 1995, and DragonFly BSD was forked from FreeBSD in 2003. BSD was also used as the basis for several proprietary versions of Unix, such as Sun's SunOS, Sequent's DYNIX, NeXT's NeXTSTEP, DEC's Ultrix and OSF/1 AXP (now Tru64 UNIX). NeXTSTEP later became the foundation for Apple Inc.'s macOS. Linux is a close cousin.

On a fairly regular basis people post "Can I make a noon (or whatever) flight?" on this forum. Today Queen Mary 2 didn't get to NYC until 10:30. Some friends of mine were not able to disembark until a few minutes ago and are trying to make a flight out of LGA at 2pm which should have been ample time. Anything can happen.
