Day 2 San Juan

Sunday morning was Mother's Day and we were in San Juan. We ate breakfast at the hotel and then gathered up our stuff and headed down to the pier. Everything we'd read said it took 45 minutes to get to the pier. So we planned on going fairly early. Well it took about 15 minutes. So we were at the pier really early.

We were debating about what to do since we had all our bags and didn't know if we wanted to drag them around. We got lucky that we didn't have to wait long and then we were able to go check in. It worked out amazing because they took our bags, we got our room keys, and then we were able to go back out and wander.

I don't know if it was because it was Mother's day or because it was Sunday but a lot of the stores were closed. So we mostly just walked around. We got to see the fort, but we didn't go in because we didn't want to pay for it. We also found a Starbucks!!

We ate at a local restaurant called the Manolin. It was pretty good. One thing I learned is that they really like plantains in San Juan! We went back to the ship about 4 and found our rooms and wandered around the boat. 

Day one and a Test

I've put it off long enough. I need to write the post about our trip. I decided to wait until I'd made our photo book because that is more important! So here it is. I'm going to probably only get one day done tonight because I've been messing around with collage programs.

So we took a cruise in May. We went with Stephanie and Bart. We left Saturday morning and flew to Miami and then to San Juan. We got to San Juan about 8:30 pm which isn't too bad and allowed us to get settled for the night. We stayed at Embassy Suites and it was so convenient; right by the airport. We didn't have any issues with cabs or anything.

It's important to note that we decided to do this whole trip with just carry on luggage. We didn't have any issues except on the first plane where our bags didn't really fit, but they fit on all the other planes, so it must have been an older plane or something.

We just went to the hotel and we ate at one of their restaurants and wandered around.

PS - thank you to Jena for helping me with a collage program (not what I used here, couldn't commit to the price tag right now)
