Vacation to Puerto Rico, St. John, and Sint. Maarten.
Beautiful Cinnamon Bay in St. John! I'm ready to go back!
Our veranda was facing off the back of the boat and allowed for incredible views along the trip. This one isn't that impressive, but was the first picture I took on the boat.
There were two comfortable seats off the back of our veranda.
Day one on the ship after leaving Miami.
During my morning run there were some pretty impressive moments when the sun would open up through the clouds.
The pool in the early morning. I guess I get up earlier than most retirees!
Chef lessons for guests on the ship. He did a great job and had a little fan club following him the rest of the trip!
Sunset from one of the decks.
Scallops and shrimp!
A unique take on pudding and a cookie.
Creme Brulee in raspberry, chocolate and vanilla.
One really fun activity in San Jan was visiting the Castillo San Felipe Del Morro.
Very old graffiti in the halls of San Felipe Del Morro.

Beautiful historic door that was well preserved.
More views from the top.
This part of the Castillo was added during WWII.
Giant cannon balls are still on display.
Castillo San Felipe Del Morro was made into a historic site in 1961.

Just under the surface there is a tunnel running from the fort to a lighthouse that was used during times of war.

Beautiful home in old San Juan.
Of course I had to take a picture of a local wiener dog. It's a must for any doxie lover.
You must try the local beers wherever you go. This one was one of my favorites for the trip.
Enjoying plantains in a small restaurant in San Juan.

We watched this seaplane take off and land.

Trying some local brews.
We found a really cool bar in Puerto Rico with great atmosphere and service.
This photo was taken at Cinnamon Bay Beach St. John, USVI and it was absolutely beautiful. It's a beach over from one of the most famous beaches in the world but mostly locals go to Cinnamon Bay instead of the touristy beach. This one was free to visit as well!
The sand on the beach was so soft and calming too!
This picture was taken shortly before we left and were on to the next destination!
Post beach photo while waiting for the bus back to the port.
Enjoying some ice cream after lunch.
Here is a view off the back of the boats back pool deck.
More views of sail boats near St. John.
Another view off the back of the boat. It was so peaceful!
Enjoying a beer at the end of the day and before dinner.
Sunset in the Atlantic.
A cobra surprise in the room!
This was a different boat but was absolutely massive at one of the ports.

Last beer in paradise while waiting for our flight.
Good bye paradise!
