Both too far west. This photo eliminates some of the options...

I think I might know but don't have any good photos so I'll wait and see how this goes.

A few more just because I think it is a really beautiful place. My tee shirt in the final photo identifies the location...

The answer is Raratonga, I think. Beautiful place, we went there on our Tahitian Princess cruise. Most anything in that area is stunningly beautiful. I don't have any pictures to post at the moment though.

Great place and surprisingly accessible. There used to be a direct flight from LAX.

This should take care of it. Town, harbor or island name will do.

Carol, I did use the vegetable stand picture. Without going into a lengthy explanation, I "cancelled" it. I have not used the other 2 pictures before.

Ok... It's Union Island, SVG, with Happy Island in the foreground. Never actually visited Happy Island but I've seen enough drunks trying to get back into their dinghies to know it is probably a pretty good place

Mike, yes Union Island, Clifton Harbor and Happy Island. Yes Happy Island was a fun place with strong punch most likely made with Sunset Rum - a perfect name for this potion.

Mike, even though you spend a lot of time in Spain and Bolivar is on the plaque, I'm guessing some other country. A guess based on vegetation and wondering if the plaque is totally "pro conquistador". I'm guessing not Spain as a start.

Since Simon Bolivar was instrumental in making a number of south American countries independent, I would guess we are somewhere in the northern part of South America, perhaps even Venezuela. For lack of actual knowledge, I'll just guess Caracas.

Fred you are correct. Not Spain. Zanshin... Not Caracas either but the latitude is pretty close.

Thought the flag on the side of the bus might be enough to identify it. Apparently not so...

Well, I was pretty sure before, and now I'm virtually certain, but I don't have any pictures to post..

Didn't notice the flag but the last photo sure gives it away. Sadly, it appears many, if not most, of those participating are running out of photos.

The photo of the Panama canal locks (Miraflores, I believe?) prompted me to look up some info about them. Cool stuff, thanks!

Yes Dan, Miraflores. Quite an experience going through the Panama Canal on a small boat. Here's a couple of shots going through the Gatun Locks. The cat in the pics is another Privilege 435, identical to Jeannius, the boat on the left an Irwin 54 and the one on the right an Amel 54...

Back to the game... Looks sort of tropical or semi tropical. I've seen somewhere like that, perhaps Australia, Melbourne or Sydney?

At first I thought it was an airport terminal, but then I couldn't find airport "stuff". Now I'm going with a concert hall in FL - maybe your town of Panama City?

No. Not Florida or Australia, but if you look closely, there is a flight control tower to the right in the photo. Tropical climate-yes.

Tom, you are correct. PR Convention Center. We were actually staying at the Sheraton next door post BVI trip. You're up!
