San Juan, Puerto Rico


Today, we arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The last time we were here, we were only on the island from 5 PM to midnight, and we walked through the shops in Old San Juan, so it was nice to see the island in the daylight. Before we got off the boat, we watched Rango on TV. We were in port with the Celebrity Millennium, the Norwegian Gem, and the Holland American Niew Amsterdam.


This time, we took an independent tour for 10 dollars a person, around the city. It was with an American man named William who promised us we wouldn't wake up without any kidneys. LOL. We saw the memorial for police officers and the walk of U.S. President Statues, the beach across from the Hilton, and the fort. Our tour bus driver, dropped us off in the town square and we went to the flea markets and the shops in Old San Juan.


We got back on the ship and ate lunch on the lido deck, which was Italian. After our nap, we watched the sail away. We went to the Past Guest Party in the Venetian and had free appetizers and punch. We went and looked in the shops before we had dinner. For dinner I had, peach soup, caesar salad, farfalle with turkey and peas, and bitter and blanc. In the dining room, the servers formed a giant conga line and did the limbo under two napkins to the song, "Hot, Hot, Hot."


After dinner, we went to the Venetian and played Name that 80's tune trivia, saw the MJ dance moves competition, and the Big Hair competition. We went back to the room and found a towel animal waiting for us.
