度假加勒比 (一)
旅行計劃
作者: 華西車城
年底緊急赴蓉, 因為岳母病危, 為盡孝道在醫院權當護工, 累壞了本來就不強壯的身體。返回車城, 稍事安頓, 決定到加勒比度個假, 也好徹底恢復體力。郵輪、機票和酒店剛剛訂妥不久, 從國內傳來父親病逝的噩耗, 父親的突然去世讓我再一次踏上緊急返蓉的坎途。在眾多舊友和一些親戚的幫助下, 料理父親的後事, 接送遠道而來悼念的親戚, 道別、火化、安葬、辦理遺產繼承手續等等, 成都的大街上再次留下我這個“老成都”疲憊的腳印。
事情雖多, 連自己也沒想到, 在成都的舊關係更多。短短三週, 辦妥了常人幾乎要花上一年才能辦好的事情, 不大可能的事情, 也讓我辦得差不多了, 居然能夠在趕回美國的時候沒有耽誤旅行出發日。
一回到美國, 便急沖衝去辦公室上了兩天班, 做做樣子。接下來, 馬上就著手出發旅行的準備。身心疲憊的我和妻子, 急需這樣一趟旅行, 需要調整一段時間, 方可以飽滿的精力投入日後的工作。
加勒比海與大西洋之間有著一連串的美麗熱帶島嶼, 以前我們曾經到訪過巴哈馬和拿騷, 這次的六島之行,往南方走得更遠些, 算是能夠真正領略加勒比海的味道。
小時候學歷史, 課本上老牌西方列強就包括, 丹麥、荷蘭、葡萄牙、西班牙、法國、英國和後起之秀美國。我很喜愛地理知識, 除了自然地理, 也包括經濟和政治地理。腦袋裡雖有列強的記憶, 其實理解並不深刻。這次的旅行, 可以體會到海上強國昔日的輝煌, 牛皮不是吹的, 航海技術是真正的科學。
加勒比海島國的歷史, 充分反映了歐洲殖民者的歷史。從航海探險, 到開疆拓土, 從資源佔有, 到販運黑奴。有通過戰爭手段強取, 也有和平條約解決紛爭, 還有美國人發明的商業運作, 通過購買,來實現殖民。有關加勒比海島國的過去, 最為有名的人物, 當數西班牙大航海家克里斯托弗•哥倫布。發現美洲新大陸的功績世人傳頌, 然而他發現其它重要島嶼的歷史, 卻被我們的教科書忽略了, 事實上加勒比海這裡, 幾乎每個海島都有他的影子。
中國自認有個齊名的大航海家鄭和, 一出海就浩浩蕩盪, 動哉戰船上百艘, 隨行上萬人, 除了去看西洋鏡, 便是掠奪, 好東西裝船帶回, 以孝敬朝廷。然而西方人也差不多會幹同樣的事情, 但最能孝敬皇上的, 則是建立海外殖民地, 展拓聖上的疆土, 看看兩人航海後的結果就知區別在哪裡。
我們的旅程始於波多黎各三王港, 乘嘉年華郵輪“勇氣”號, 沿東加勒比總共航行七天七夜。向南直抵格林納達、特立尼達和多巴哥東北的島國巴貝德斯。離南美大陸的委內瑞拉、圭亞那和蘇里南已經不遠。郵船環繞加勒比海東部島鏈遨遊一圈, 夜伏晝出, 白天停靠沿途的美麗島國, 夜晚續航, 最後再兜回到波多黎各三王。
勇氣號是在巴拿馬註冊, 嘉年華旗下南美遠航船隊征服級郵輪之一。排水量十一萬噸, 航速約二十三節, 船長九百五十三英尺, 載客約三千人, 船員和服務人員約一千二百名, 母港邁阿密嘉年華。船上的餐廳、賭場、泳池、健身、酒吧、免稅店、桑拿、影院、成人劇場、各種娛樂設施一應俱全, 是名副其實的海上城堡。

My husband has wore this brand for awhile now. We normally got them from JC Penney's but found them on for a lower price. Happy with the purchase.

This is about the 4th time that I have purchased these shoes. The other purchases were done from Penneys. They no longer appear to carry my size (square feet) in stock.

I have bought this same shoe for years so I already know they fit me well. They are comfortable and last a long time. So it's all about price and delivery which are both superior on .Com. I love em! (The shoes that is.)
