We are in San Juan!

The view of the New York skyline from our gate at the Newark airport.

Our flights here were great and we arrived on time.
Beautiful views of Puerto Rico on our approach to the island and saw a rainbow.
The weather here is warm and a bit muggy and wonderful.


Wayne is not feeling much better and the flight bothered his ears. He took some cold meds and had a nap after we checked into our hotel.
Our hotel is the Sheraton OSJ and it is right across the street from the cruise pier so in the morning we will just have to walk across the street to board the Victory.
Our room is small but lovely with a very comfy bed.

We went out for a walk around old San Juan. We saw a lot of the same sites we saw when we were here with our kids in 2007. There was an outdoor market and lots of people walking around. We stopped and bought some wine since we are allowed 1 bottle each to take onboard but you have to take it when you first go on.




Back to the hotel to freshen up and then we met some of my cruise critic friends down in the lobby. We then walked to Barrachina (birthplace of the pina colada). There were about 35 people all from the cruise critic message board. Wayne and I both had a pina colada and we split 3 appetizers for dinner. There were flamenco dancers dancing while we ate.



After dinner we wandered around – the temperature was wonderful. Wayne did say he was feeling better (I think the rum in the drink helped). The long day of traveling caught up with us and we went back to the the hotel.

Tomorrow we board the Victory!
