One of my most memorable journeys this past year was to board the MV Explorer for an Enrichment Voyage from San Diego, USA to Central America, through the Panama Canal and ending in the port of Miami 20 days later. It was an extraordinary experience; I met wonderful females along the way, chatted with them (sometimes in sign language), and had the opportunity to photograph their lovely faces to share with our Journeywoman Network. Like all other women around the world they primped before their photo was taken and it was for me, a joy to be part of the interaction.

We stopped in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico. Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras and Belize and most of my shots were taken there. However, I did photograph some of my fellow passengers and crew members on board the ship, too.

P.S. Nobel Prize Winner Desmond Tutu and his whole family were aboard and they mingled freely with the passengers. The first photo on the page is of his young granddaughter who was 'a little firecracker' and wise beyond her years. Happy International Women's Day, everybody.
