Creator's Key Takeaways

I really enjoyed or I'm thankful we did it on a very small ship because I think it was really cool to get to go through the old locks.

Yeah, I recommend the Gamboa aerial tram for all ages. I think that excursion was a lot of fun.

I'm so glad we took a cruise through the Panama Canal and we could check that off of our bucket list.

It was really cool that uh the rainforest jungle on both sides, man.
