Our March 2011 Cruise from San Juan PR

 WELL.....

Lana and I have been shipping for

Ardent Ent.

They told us wed. that they

would not having any shipments

for around 10 days. 

SOOOOOOO

I said: "We should go on vacation

since we have this time off!"

Lana agreed, so we went online

and found a cruise and airfare.

Left 3 days later.

It was a wonderful vacation!

We had such a great time.

Kenny, Lana, Kendall and I.

The only airfare that we could find

last minute was from HELL!

From LV-NY-Atlanta-SanJuan PR

So we hoped on and off we went.

 Ready to Roll!

Kendall OVERPACKING!  (As usual)!

How long are we staying????

 On the leg from NY-Atlanta,

Kendall got a migrain.  UGH!

He was pretty sick when we hit GA!

Then after he threwup and took some meds

he was great.

EXCEPT....He had some chapstick

in his backpack called Cat Crap.

Yes really Cat Crap!

So he applied away!

Just so happened that he was

Allergic to it!!!!

His lips were obscene!

It was good for several

great laughs though!!!!!

Poor Guy!

 We sailed on Princess,

which is my fav.

Carribean Princess was our ship.

 Docked at Grenada along side

another ship.

 Our first stop was St. Thomas.

This was overlooking Megans Bay.

We have been here before so we

opted to go to Coki Beach instead.

It was also beautiful!

 A few little fish.

 Kenny really enjoyed snorkeling

every beach stop.

The water was beautiful!

 Overlooking St. Thomas

 This was in Dominica.

We took a openair (FUMES)

bus to the falls.

 Look at the iron!

Coming out of a hillside.

Kenny just slurped himself

a nice drink!  YIKES!

I was sure he would be sick,

he has proven he does in fact have

a iron gut!

 We hiked to the falls.

It was a little climb over rocks

but it was really gorgeous!

 The roads are always

a little precarious!

 This is steam coming from 

a volcano.

 Kendall paid this dude

to pet his boa.

 I found a baby to tend!

She was Isabelles age.

I was holding her in the

monkey seat.

Everytime I gave her back to

her Mom she started crying.

I was trying to hold her away 

from my wet suit.

 The beach was infront of

these peoples house/store.

The chickens were walking

around our feet in the

BLACK sand.

 The open air bus drove up thru

town.  It was interesting!

 A big percentage of the homes

actually run a biz out of them.

 Candy store on the porch!

Kids waiting for the bus.

Overlooking Megans Bay

This is in Bonaire.

Part of the A B C islands.

Which are my FAVORITE!

The great thing about them

is they do  not see Hurricanes.

They are down by Venezuala

and the storms start in the middle

of the ocean and head North.

They do see Tropical Storms though.

Lana and I (above) were relaxing on the beach

when Kendall came back stating that

he had found someone to take us

out diving.......

I was not really thrilled about

leaving my nice spot, but we

went and it was great.

The coral reef was in much

better shape than the palnacar

reef that we dove to last summer.

Having weathered a few Hurricanes.

But the fish and water was not as pretty.

The brain coral and purple straw coral was

amazing.  Oranges, limes, and purples.

I was glad I pulled myself away from my

spot in the sun!!!!

YEAH, I know my mask was too tight,
but I like it that way!
I hate clearing my mask underwater!
Kendall makes fun of my face after.

Coming out from our dive.In Bonaire Netherlands Antilles.

San Juan PR

We forgot our Camera at the

next couple of stops!  BUG!

We visited Grendada, Aruba,

and had 1 sea day heading

back to San Juan.

We have cruised out of Puerto Rico

before, but this time we stayed

an extra day and saw the sites.

It is a really large island.  

This was in Old San Juan.

I think this picture is of

Aruba.

 Barracks for soldiers.

We stayed at the Sheraton in

San Juan.  This was out our 

window.

 In Old Town San Juan.

We were hungry and looking

for something to eat.

We ended up at the

Parrot Club.

It was great!

Heading Home.  Cool wall in the background at the Sheraton.

 We flew 1st class home.

YEAH!

It was great!

They even Fed us!

Had real dishes, drinks

we did not have to buy.

Nice!

 This was really one of the

funnest times of the trip for me!

Kendall has been wanting a

Tag Carrera for several months.

We have looked at them 

everywhere we have gone.

Which that IS the fun part!

But he just wouldn't pull the

trigger, so I bought it for him

at the Airport Jewelry Store

in PR (no tax).  

He was excited.

I think he loves it.

 Such a fun trip with fun friends!

Some other highlights:

Lana singing Karaoke!

(Remember Me and Killing me Softly).

Great food.

Beautiful Ports!

Too long of flight!

(We actually did that same flight

but different ports 3 yrs ago with our

entire family including 2 - 1 yr olds!

WHAT WERE WE THINKING!)

Laughing my guts out when

Lana called Kenny Numb Nuts in 

the elevator with LOTS of other people

in tow!

Making fun of Kendalls faces

in all the pictures on the ship.

Making fun of all of the other

passengers pictures on the ship.

Watching all the 

Les and Gays on the 

ship/dance floor, etc.

Relaxing!

Enjoying Life!

The world is a beautiful

AND interesting place!
