Panama Canal Cruise Join Your Name Here & Princess Cruises for a spectacular Panama Canal Cruise March 11-22, 2021 (other dates available) DAY 1 & 2 ARRIVE FT. LAUDERDALE PRE-STAY - BOARD SHIP Welcome to your Panama Canal adventure! We travel to the Minneapolis airport for our flight to Ft. Lauderdale where we will overnight before boarding Princess Cruise Line's Caribbean Princess . From this majestic ship see the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal and experience the new locks, pristine islands and unforgettable ports. Settle in and prepare for a cruise like no other! DAY 3 AT SEA While cruising the Caribbean today, take advantage of the ship's many activities. Enjoy a game of bridge, visit the health center for an exercise class or sauna, swim in the pool or enjoy the DAY 4 GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS When Columbus made his landfall in the Caymans in 1503, he found tortoises and sea turtles in such profusion that he promptly named the islands Las Tortugas. But the name that stuck for the islands was the Carib word "Caimanas." Fitting, since the caiman is a New World crocodilian and the islands were long the lair of pirates, buccaneers, and assorted freebooters. Despite their past, the Caymans are a Caribbean demi-paradise of white-sand beaches, coral gardens, and offshore waters harboring spectacular shipwrecks. Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman also boast the highest standard of living in the entire Caribbean. This union of natural beauty and cosmopolitan style makes Grand Cayman a spectacular port of call for today's adventurers. Note: Grand Cayman is Passengers transfer to shore via ship's tender. In certain sea conditions, an alternate pier is used to transfer passengers ashore. This may cause tour durations to vary . DAY 5 AT SEA Caribbean Princess is the perfect escort for exploring the world while enjoying a relaxed, unhurried ambience onboard. Unwind poolside and watch a hit film with Movies Under the Stars®, indulge in a soothing massage from an outdoor cabana at The Sanctuary, or savor a premium steak cooked to order in the Crown Grill . DAY 6 CARTEGENA, COLUMBIA One of the most interesting cities on your itinerary steeped in history. This was the transit port for all the wealth Spain derived from South America. The famous "Old City" is comprised of 12 square blocks filled with attractions, boutiques and restaurants. Throughout Colombia, the Spanish Empire's influence in the New World is self-evident. Its fortress walls, quaint narrow streets, and balconied houses are all vivid reminders of Spain's hold on Cartagena and throughout the Caribbean and South America. DAY 7 PANAMA CANAL (SCENIC CRUISING) PANAMA - CRISTOBAL The narrow isthmus separating the Atlantic from the Pacific Ocean had a colorful and turbulent history long before Ferdinand de Lesseps first dreamed of building a transcontinental canal. Spanish conquistadors hauled Incan gold through the dense rainforest to ports on the Atlantic. And 49ers braved mosquitoes and yellow fever to get to the California gold fields. The Panama Canal remains one of the great American engineering feats of the 20th century! We stop at the port of Cristobal visitors to Panama will discover a whole range of scenic wonders. DAY 8 LIMON, COSTA RICA Costa Rica's Limon Province boasts pristine beaches, sprawling banana plantations and dense rainforest. These Caribbean lowlands are still sparsely populated--nearly a third of the province's population lives around Puerto Limon--and conservation efforts have led to growing eco-tourism. Limon Province offers other charms as well. Afro-Caribbean influences abound, from the lilting speech and reggae rhythms brought by Jamaican settlers to the colorful bungalows lining small fishing villages. Limon is a zesty little slice of heaven . DAY 9 AT SEA Each day, a world of exciting activities awaits, from cooking demonstrations to dance classes, trivia contests and a range of enrichment programs, including our Encounters with Discovery at SEA™ speaker series from experts who offer insights into the places you’ll visit . DAY 10 OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA Ocho Rios (Spanish for "Eight Rivers") is located on the northern coast of Jamaica--67 miles east of Montego Bay. Blue-green mountains, white-sand beaches, lilting breezes wafting across flower- adorned hillsides - Jamaica is a sensual feast. Stunning natural beauty and a unique society molded by British, African, Spanish and Asian influences make Jamaica an unforgettable port of call in the Caribbean. Ocho Rios is a superb slice of Jamaica. The area is named for its spectacular rivers and waterfalls, including famed Dunn's River Falls. DAY 11 AT SEA There’s always something happening on board — from heading to the Princess Theater for a lavish original musical production to enjoying a blockbuster movie poolside under the stars or simply relaxing in a lounge sipping a cocktail where a live band is playing your song. DAY 12 FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA - - DEPART FOR HOME This morning marks the end of your unforgettable cruise. Wave good-bye to friends made and transfer to the airport for the flight home.

  • Quaternary Bat Diversity in the Dominican Republic
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3779, 20 pp. June 21, 2013 Quaternary Bat Diversity in the Dominican Republic PAÚL M. VELAZCO,1 HANNAH O’NEILL,2 GREGG F. GUNNELL,3 SIOBHÁN B. COOKE,4 RENATO RIMOLI,5 ALFRED L. ROSENBErgER,1, 6 AND NANCY B. SIMMONS1 ABSTRACT The fossil record of bats is extensive in the Caribbean, but few fossils have previously been reported from the Dominican Republic. In this paper, we describe new collections of fossil bats from two flooded caves in the Dominican Republic, and summarize previous finds from the Island of Hispaniola. The new collections were evaluated in the context of extant and fossil faunas of the Greater Antilles to provide information on the evolution of the bat community of Hispaniola. Eleven species were identified within the new collections, including five mormoopids (Mormoops blainvillei, †Mormoops magna, Pteronotus macleayii, P. parnellii, and P. quadridens), five phyllostomids (Brachy- phylla nana, Monophyllus redmani, Phyllonycteris poeyi, Erophylla bombifrons, and Phyllops falcatus), and one natalid (Chilonatalus micropus). All of these species today inhabitant Hispaniola with the exception of †Mormoops magna, an extinct species previously known only from the Quaternary of Cuba, and Pteronotus macleayii, which is currently known only from extant populations in Cuba and Jamaica, although Quaternary fossils have also been recovered in the Bahamas. Differences between the fossil faunas and those known from the island today suggest that dispersal and extirpa- tion events, perhaps linked to climate change or stochastic events such as hurricanes, may have played roles in structuring the modern fauna of Hispaniola. 1 Division of Vertebrate Zoology (Mammalogy), American Museum of Natural History.

  • NT Brac District Committee Objection Report, 17 Dec 2020
    National Trust of the Cayman Islands Report of the Brac District Committee on the Proposed Daggaro Project The Brac District Committee of the National Trust of the Cayman Islands is strongly opposed to the Daggaro project to develop a private Black Hawk helicopter facility in Cayman Brac. The plans to date include a hangar, pad, administrative building, 8-foot security fence, and vehicle and plane access to the existing runway. The proposed location in the island’s West End, directly west of and adjacent to the West End Community Park, is especially sensitive, but more generally the project is not in keeping with the heritage values and natural, social, and cultural environment of Cayman Brac nor will it economically benefit the Brac or the Cayman Islands. The Brac District Committee has a number of objections to the project, which are summarized below. 1. Negative impacts on the natural environment 1.1 In general The proposed site of the Daggaro project would raze the only remaining remnant of tropical dry forest in the Brac’s far West End. In spite of its small area, this long, narrow triangle of intact woods contains a wealth of biodiversity and offers one of Cayman Brac’s main habitats for several significant species, especially the critically endangered Lesser Caymans Rock Iguana. This environmentally fragile remnant of native forest contains a broad, representative sample of plants and trees native to the Cayman Islands. The site also encompasses a small, significant tidal wetland (see West End Turtle Kraal and Nurse Smith Pond and Cave in section 2) that is part of the larger system of wetlands of international significance found in Cayman Brac’s West End.
