Al and Sunny Lockwood have traveled by foot, car, rail, air and cruise ship. They've camped in national parks, hiked mountain trails, photographed springtime flowers in Death Valley and explored the rugged beaches of Northern California. And everywhere they go, they capture unforgettable moments -- Al with his camera and Sunny with her reporter's notebook. Their work has been published in magazines and newspapers. Cruising Panama's Canal is their first travel memoir.
"The friendly...voice of the book is fun, inviting, and endearing.
While readers will learn and be entertained throughout the book, the biggest lasting impression will be the feeling of having spent time with some great people: the authors. The anticipation of seeing the canal and the description of the locks and other details sets this apart from a typical cruise. The interviews with cruise employees are a unique touch."
