After a very long flight from Seattle, we arrived in San Juan early afternoon to beautiful, sunny and VERY HOT weather. Our cruise on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas begins tomorrow, and we arrived a day early as a precaution. We've had a chill day involving lots of great food, some beach time, walking around El Morro and checking out the casinos in our hotel and next door. Taking advantage of the free wifi at the hotel right now, I've uploaded pictures taken from today -- check it out! Tomorrow will be light as we just grab a bite to eat and hopefully have more beach time before heading to the pier to begin the herding-of-the-cows boarding of the cruise ship....but we are really looking forward to it.
Today has been a walk through memory lane -- for those of you that know, my family has a timeshare here and I spent much of my childhood coming here every March. When I grew up, I took advantage of the place and brought a bunch of girlfriends here...and later visited again. It's probably been a good 8 years or so since I was last here and it's been fascinating to see how much the city has grown. Isla Verde, the neighborhood where the timeshare is located as well as our 1-night hotel, is so much bigger than before--there are now many more hotels and eating establishments. That said, it's great to see many of my favorites still standing.
