... wonderful spices, Dominica, for its mysterious wild forests and St. Thomas, for its exotic tropical beaches. The Southern Caribbean islands are places that I will cherish forever. They are "Moments in Time" that will always remain in my memory for always.

Today, is the start of our second week on board the Caribbean Princess. The ship made its way to San Juan in the early morning arriving at 6:00am. This morning, I did ...

... themselves bean burritos. Yumm! It was very relaxing. We walked around a little after we ate, and went into a shop or two. I had wanted to find a bathing suit cover-up. DD and I had success in that endeavor. By then it was time to head back to the fort for a festival they were having (free with your entrance ticket). We got there a little early and got front row seats. They had a band/singers and dancers. They started with the ...

... as usual about how domesticated I seemed to be. HAHA! We pretty much hung out at the house until the cousins came and we went to the rehearsal on the beach. That was interesting, it consisted of running and jumping into the ocean and a 10 minute "Heres how were gonna do it" speech from the groom. Just enough to keep my attention.

After a busy and lazy week we slept well on a 1/2 full flight to JFK with plenty of empty seats to put up the legs and just kick back. - This travelogue is dedicated to my father in gratitude for his RCI time share certificate - thanks Dad! ------

After Global Studies I headed up to the 7th deck and slept on a chair in the sun for two hours (with sunscreen on, of course!) because I was exhausted. Then I ate lunch with the gang and now here I am updating you fine people on my life! Now I'm going to load my pictures onto my computer, all 200+ of them and then post this! Adios!

I've been pretty sick since the St. Thomas trip. Massive ear infection. Between seeing doctors, getting prescriptions, and eating soup, I do nothing but sleep. I'm flying out of San Juan, so we decided to see the Castillo de San Felipe del Morro before I go. It was an interesting tour and had great views of the ...

... probably glad he understood where we were going and didn't want us to confuse him.

I had always heard of the beautiful oceans, but the blues and greens were very similar to what i left back home even though the sand here was much whiter.
Boarded the cruise ship and left the beautiful port, passing Fort San Cristobal on our way out - a Fort that I promised I'd visit on my return a few days later.
