We have been lucky to have done 5 full transits and 3 partial trips through the "Big Ditch". It is always an enjoyable, but hot time!!! John & Priscilla

I spent a little time there (December 20th, 1989 - July 10th, 1990). Initially on the Pacific side; then, was down around Yaviza for my last couple months. Fun place. Will be nice to see it from a tourists point of view ...

Nope, never been, but have wanted to for many, many years. I can't wait to see all of the workings of the Canal.

For you'ns who have been through, I will take any tips and advise that you have to give.

I haven't been there yet, but there is always a first time. I will reading up about the canal before I go.
I plan on taking lots of pictures. I will have to buy a couple of extra memory cards.:thumb

For some excellent reading, track down, "The Path Between the Seas" by David McCollough if you really want to know about the canal.

you can pick it up on Amazon for as low as about $4 used or it is only $12-13 new
