OnTravel – ahh the Tailor of Panama now that’s a movie I haven’t heard about for a long time. Haven’t come across any tailors yet. Plenty of sailors yes.

Rainfield -It is an engineering marvel and to see the canal extension going on is part of the package I think. Wouldn’t mind going through the canal in a yacht.

Heather – I can only imagine what that must have been like, those locks are immense. It was like that, just another lane of traffic, something locals take for granted I guess. But I did notice how all the local heads turned to watch the canal when I took a bus recently.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

I have vivid memories of the Soo Locks in Michigan. My dad was very into having his children experience the details, so we rode a boat and waited as the water filled the lock and raised our ride. It would be quite fascinating to visit an international landmark such as the Panama Canal. I like your imagery from the highway -enormous ships passing as just another lane of traffic on the waterway…
(Any word on your visa situation??)

It is in fact a fascinating and creative engineering work. You are lucky to be there, witness and be part of the history.
