I was asked to write a piece for Cruise International Magazine about the Alaska trip.

I wrote a piece. The editor hated it. I rewrote it from scratch. He was happy.

What appeared was a mishmash of the two submissions, along with quite a lot of text that wasn’t mine, several photos that weren’t mine and the most monumental editing error imaginable. If you don’t know the difference between Central America and South America, that’s fine, but don’t change my text, because I DO know the difference. To clarify, this trip went to CENTRAL America. I have never to my knowledge set foot in South America – it’s still on my List.

Here is the version as printed. Enjoy.
