Cruise RT San Diego to Peru
In March and April, 2014 Leslie and I took a 29 day cruise on the Holland American Line Statendam from San Diego to Peru and back to San Diego. Our ports of call were Cabo San Lucas, Huatulco, Puerto Chiapas, Panama City, Salavary, Callalo (Lima), Manta, Puerto Caldera, Corinto, Puerto Quetcal, Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta and ending in San Diego.
This is the first cruise we plan to repeat. No flights required for us. The shore advisor group was poor. We just avoided, by a day or so, an earthquake, a volcano eruption and a tsunami threat. The cruise was long enough to enjoy days at sea, as well as, lots of ports. These pictures represent both on shore and ship experiences.
We know these photos are long over-due but Leslie is getting back on track. To view the pictures (488), click on the link below. Important: Wait 15-20 seconds for the pictures to load. Various options are available to view the pictures, with or without joining Snapfish. Refer to "A" and "B" below and "C" below. We recommend using option C.
A. To view the pictures without joining Snapfish, just start scrolling them (there will be no access to the captions in this mode!). This is the way to view the pictures the fastest, but is not our recommended way.
B. To view the pictures with captions you will need to be a member of Snapfish, or to join same. Again click on the link below, then click on log in/join. There is no charge to join. This option will allow you to self pace the viewing. Click on the magnifing glass with a plus on the first picture. Then click on "captions" button above the picture. There will be arrows on either side of the picture to click to go forward or back at your own pace. Note the captions are much smaller in this mode than the next, recommended, mode.
C. Again, once a member of Snapfish and signing in, you can choose to click on the "slideshow" option located just above the pictures, in the middle of the screen. Once you have selected "slideshow" (ignore "select all" ) it will begin. The timing for viewing each slide is fixed (about 6 seconds), if this is too fast, just click the "Pause" button (button with 2 vertical lines), on the top middle of the screen. When you wish to return to slideshow mode, reclick the "Pause" button (now an arrow). During the viewing it will be necessary to move the mouse occasionally to keep the screen from going into sleep mode. You will notice that once the slide show starts that the icons disappear, just move your mouse cursor and they will reappear. The complete show lasts about 45 minutes, a tiny fraction of the time to put it together or to actually do the trip!
Once you have finished viewing the photos you will notice two buttons on the upper right hand side of the screen - a "heart" and a "circle". The "Heart" button shows a bar with "Likes" and "Comments". Should you wish to state you like the photos, click the "Like" and your name will appear. If you wish to comment, select "Comment" and a box will appear for your comment. Once done click the x on the top right hand side of the box.
At this point you can view other albums, if you wish, by clicking the "Back to Albums" button at the top left corner of the site. Note that the Peru Album is not yet posted publicly.
To Exit, click "Exit", or sign out by clicking the "face" following your name in the top right, depending on your previous options selected.
