| So some thoughts for you but if you maybe say what sort of things you like doing we can maybe 'tune' these iniital sugesitons for you Antigua - make sure you visit SHirley Heights and Nelsons DOck yard and don;t forget about Yoda man St Lucia - there is a great Sea & See tour (full day) that covers the volcano, Pitons etc. Barbados - Concorde experience, beaches, Orchid World, Sunbury plantation Aruba - beaches, semi sub, island tour Colon - Emberar indian village or Panama railroad would be good (I would avoid some of the others because you will experience these on the ship itself) Limon - Tortuguero Canal (there is an option including a ride on rickety train) Cozumel - Tulum (done it once and we are doing it again) Catalina - this is a day at the beach Tortola - Cane Bay beach, Pussers landing, Virgin Gorda. Next time there we are doing the 'Beautiful BVI; which I have heard good reports about. We have never been to any of your other stops ... looks like a great itinerary.

| Hi Parrot contd .... Ponta Delgada Has a Portuguese flavour, is ok for a look around but it has limited appeal. We spent a week on this Island and it is a very beautiful place indeed, zillions of wild flowers at certain times of the year. With this thought in mind I suggest you take an Island Tour. If P&Os listed excursions include a visit to the Tea Plantation then I wouldn't bother, it is ok as part of a fuller program but not mega interesting (imo). Madeira Another beautiful Island, also Portuguese flavour. A full day Island Tour is a great choice. Half a day doing the Nuns Valley Tour coupled with a walk about in Funchal is just fine too, especially if you can fit in the Old Town Do a 'search ' on this site for Madeira and you will have enough reading for a week. :-)

| Panama - If the train trip crossing from the Atlantic to Pacific is available, do it, it's great. Pay the extra for the dome car if available. Limon - I suggest that you do a trip, Limon itself is a bit depresssing. We did the canals & train which you will enjoy if you like nature chasing. Shep
