Mario's Hotel & Restaurant San Juan

... worth it!<br><br>We had to be in the lobby of our hotel and ready to go by 8:30a for our shuttle. Pedro, our driver, was right on time and he ended up being a blast! He had a lot of fun with us on our 1.5 drive to the Marina where we would board the Barefoot IV. At first we didn't think our crew was going to be all that fantastic - but as soon as we got thru all the nasty paperwork, handing out stuff ...

... At dinner they hosted a flamenco dance &amp; Puerto Rican Music show which was fun to watch while you ate! <br><br>We did hit up Jimmy's BBQ at our hotel after dinner real fast to see what the bar had to offer quickly - but we didn't stay long we because we had to head to bed as we had an early start the next morning! Snorkle Cruise here we come!<br><br><br><br><br>

... Jardin Botanica in Rio Piedras is a little more off the beaten track and has a lovely collection of flora. Or head up to Lago Dos Bocas to take in the the tranquil scenery. You can try to take the free ferry, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't run on any type of schedule. So instead, you can always take the Rancho Marina boat that will take you to their restaurant about a 15 ...

... br><br>By 9:15am we were in the lounge and were fortunate to see again some of our friends we made during this cruise. Conversations took place and once our colour was called, we all made our way outside a door, off the ship and then in the Convention Center which was walking distance to the ship. All of our luggages, having been picked up last night by the staff ...

... paper that we are told we are to attach to our door handle. Depending on the hyroglyphics it alerts the elves that we wish to have our sheets cleaned. IMAGIN! This is something we are still coming to terms with and we apologise if this confuses our normal readers. But hey, we're all here to explore cultural diversity and we all learn by studying our fellow travelers experinces. We don't wish to ...

(PUERTO RICO) April 8, 2008 11:00 pm Hello! This morning, we had breakfast at Leonardo's. It was nicer than The Windjammer. (The "Eggs Benedict" was great!) After breakfast, we went to the pool. I tanned (and got a little burned) while Jon played a pool game. His team won and he got a luggage tag! Around noon, it became quite breezy and we soon left for lunch. We ate lunch at Leonardo's with Aunt Aundree and Uncle Tom ...

... incredibly helpful, I can't get over it. After we'd collected our fabric we went back to the poet's store so they could direct us to the store that had azabache and that's when we met the poet herself. We must have stayed in the store for forty-five minutes talking to her and picking out things to get. She didn't have a copy of her most recent book at that store, but she had a copy at her other store so she got one of her employees (but not Eileen that took ...

... up, up about a mile and a half to another parking lot. This isn't where we parked either. It's hot and muggy. The road is steep. I've got pebbles in both my shoes. The Globetrotter candidate is handling things pretty well with that heavy backpack. Looks like she passes Globetrotter test #6 - carry your load without complaining. <br><br><br><br>Michael runs up ahead, certain that the car can't be too far. We wait. He soon drives up and tells us that ...

... sector, stacked fieldstones and vertical rock abutments were utilized for the construction of crescent-shaped structures that are connected in a linear pattern according to the spatial limitations of the terraces. The Nasca 1 sectors possess fewer stone walls and are thought to have contained architecture of mostly perishable material, such as quincha. While the stone walls of La Tiza appear more similar to the elite Paracas structures of La Puntilla, the ceramic ...

... homework before I went to bed at like 10. Almost everyone else on the ship was out at the clubs until 3 or 4am but I opted to catch up on some sleep instead. The next day I got up rather early and headed into Old San Juan with Katina and Kaylee. They really weren't all that interested in partaking in the actual Puerto Rican atmosphere so we ended up going to several American stores and then to subway for lunch. I was all for authentic food but they didn't want to ...
