The next day we arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico which was a quick jump from St. Thomas. We arrived at 8:00am and where on the “Island of Enchantment” until 3:00pm. Puerto Rico being my home land brings back memories of me growing up and lots of pride. My partner never visiting Puerto Rico was …

We flew back the next day to San Juan, Puerto Rico to get ready with our Eastern Caribbean Cruise. It was  then time to return our rented car. The traffic sign was so bad that i got lost for half an hour,, and i  ended up going against the traffic on a one way road; good thing that i…

So the weather had been kind of iffy for the whole week and we knew what was coming. Tropical storm "Jeanne". The news reports and internet were all monitoring the storm closely and so did we. We prepared as good as we could or better said we figured it wouldn't be so bad. Well,  the storm hit…

I enjoyed a jam-packed 3-day Puerto Rico Meetup. Highlights included: strolling Old San Juan, clubbing & salsa dancing, discovering Rio Camuy Cave Park & underground river, enjoying tasty, traditional cuisine & mofongo, trying several one-of-a-kind ice creams, touring Bacardi Rum grounds, singing karoke, horseback riding, seeing El Yunque National Rainforest, having perfect weather all 3 days & hanging with wonderful old & new pals.

Took a nice long weekend in Puerto Rico before the stress of finals set in.  We stayed at the Normandie Hotel right next to the Caribe Hilton, and used the Hilton's beach area. They have a great hammock area and they had this cool inflatable iceberg looking thing in the water. I tried abo…

Not much exciting here.  Stopped a little on the drive back to San Juan to perhaps buy something, which didn't happen.  We also saw some large iguanas and struggled to find a gas station.  Good times.

  And so it ends the way that it began...con lluvia. Although the journey greeted us with clouds and now sends us off from esta isla with more drops hitting the window, there were so many bright moments in between. I have to come back to this place, my home. The history of this place has dr…

On to San Juan to round out our amazing visit to Puerto Rico - and to celebrate our 16th anniversary! Again, big thanks to Katrina at La Finca for recommending the Hotel La Playa in Isla Verde for the end of our trip. She also provided us with some recommendations for accommodations in Old San Ju…

Puerto Rico is a must for any travelers wanting to experience a unique culture filled with great food, natural wonders and of course shopping and nightlife! Although our visit to the island was short, it definitely left us wanting more. Downtown San Juan was a great place to go shopping, try local …

Today was relaxing with lots of activities occuring on the ship.  My friends layed out in the sun, soaking up the sun.  It was too hot for me so I opted for a lounge chair in the shade where I napped and read for hours.  Then we had our last dinner on the cruise where our waiter danc…
