Search for “The Other Princess”
Fred was on a roll - poker winnings set him up for an Acapulco vacation, on a Princess cruise ship (the Dawn Princess) - it was to be a “Dawn” of a new travel adventure for him. After disembarking from Acapulco, the ship was to travel through the Panama Canal, traversing from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, through a series of six locks – starting at the west-side Gatun Lock and ending in the east at the Miraflores Lock.
The trip of a lifetime started in the library, absorbed in David
McCullough’s “The Path Between The Seas”. Fred imagined himself as one of the migrant workers tasked with building the Canal during the years 1870-1914, catching malaria in one of the many swamps being
dredged along the 77km path. Fred was taken to the local Panama City hospital where a Doctor prescribed quinine treatment. Unknown to Fred, the first hospitals in Panama contributed to the problem themselves by unwittingly providing breeding places for mosquitoes inside unscreened wards.
Shaken back to reality by a “virtual itch”, Fred put aside his book and wandered down to the ship’s infirmary - he wanted to see how much better today’s medical facilities were than those back in the early 1900s. There he met the ship’s
Cruise Nurse, Josephine. Although Fred thought that Josephine would most certainly cure any worker’s inclination to visit a hospital (considering her forced enema treatments), he found out that Josephine also sidelined as an instructor of the ship’s popular Photoshop computer class, “What You Sea Is What You Get”.
After attending Josephine’s class later that afternoon, Fred was anxious to find a subject to “touchup” with his new-found skills. He grabbed his camera and went to the ship’s foredeck. There, piering over the Miraflores Lock, Fred met the girl of his dreams - certainly not Josephine, but
the “other” Princess. His day complete as the Dawn Princess exited the Panama Canal on its way to the Caribbean Sea, Fred found a lounge chair on deck, put away his book and soaked in the sunshine... just as Josephine rounded the corner and found her new Photoshop subject – a true FantaSea!
