Traveler Photos

Here’s a pic from the middle of the Gulf of Mexico (24-June-22 at 5:09AM CST) as the planets spread from the east-northeast horizon, arcing toward the south this morning. Lined up in their order from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This particular planetary configuration hasn't occurred since 1864. Enjoy!!!

Ha that bingo is addictive. I learned that the hard way on my cruise on the dream in 2019 and straight up avoided it like the rona plague on my cruise on the Vista in March this year.
