Take a trip with us through the Panama Canal’s Gatun Locks aboard the Island Princess. You’ll see just how a cruise ship gets through the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal and get to see how its a very tight squeeze for other ships.

I like the beard.

Very interesting video (as always). Glad to see that familiar face again, though I am sure you were glad to have it out in the cold weather. Great question this week! As far as the bucket list goes, I am a HUGE history geek – so, I want to travel to Egypt and see the pyramids, go to Greece and Rome to see all the ancient ruins from civilizations past. Maybe even hit Mexico to visit the Mayan ruins. Cannot wait to see the bloopers!

Hey Rick,
You look like a whole new you. I have got used to the beard. The video was great. I like seeing the canal. I liked that the Island Princess an a cargo ship was going through. I also liked the view of Gatuin Lake. See you next week.
P.S. Fact. The Oasis of the Seas is the longest cruise ship in the world. At 1,186 feet it is 304 feet longer than Titanic.

I love watching your videos. Going thought the canal is cool. When I lived I Seattle I use to go to the Ballard Lock to watch the boats. It’s something to see. I don’t have a bucket list I like to play it by ear.

Hey Rick and Leslie,
I enjoyed the video. You both looked happy and relaxed. I think going on cruise would be really good for me. It is already on my bucket list. At the top of my bucket list is to go to Europe. I have wanted to there since I was 15 years old. Today I turned 57 and still haven’t made to Europe. But I am determined to there–someday.
Rick, man to man–I think you look better and younger without the beard.
See you next week.

Hey Rick!
That was amazing. I have seen the locks here in Ohio when I was a little girl but this is huge in comparison. I can’t believe how “Snug” it is. Loved the rainbows. I have been lucky enough to go to Spain and France; I would like to see England, Scotland and Italy someday. I don’t know how it is going to happen!
Thanks for the great video!

I liked your beard, but I like you without it too. My bucket list of places I want to go is long but here are my top 3: Egypt I want to see the Pyramids, Italy I actually want to spend a year or more there to get a real taste of the culture. Ireland I just think it’s a beautiful place and my Grandfather was born there.
I loved the Panama Canal video, it is so cool to see how they move the ships. Those little land tugs look like a roller coaster ride LOL.
