HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL A very busy day with classes on the Mayan Culture and Whales and
what to expect in Trinidad. We have a few minuted before going to dinner so I thought I would blog. We have had much excitement. We left Santaren late but did not think too much about it until we had a medical update today. Seems a lady fainted coming on board and broke her hip so she was left in Santaren. There are 11 hospitals there but none for this important procedure so Med-i-vac left the US today and will get her tomorrow, but in the meantime the government would not let her husband stay so he is with us. Then we had to change our route and come to a total stop for over 1 hour as we had a helicopter medical lift for a gentleman with a life threatening condition. So he and his wife were lifted and flown to British Guinea. I guess when you cruise for this long things will happen but the doctor said in all his years of cruising this is the first time for a helicopter rescue. Time for dinner.
See you in 2009
