In San Juan, we took a bioluminescent kayaking trip, which allowed us to see the bioluminescence that's only in a few parts of the world. I had only been privy to it once before, in the Keys in May 1996.
almost to our first port!
sailing into port there are a lot of ruins
you can see some of the city's buildings
heading out on the trip. the current was fairly strong, beginners had a rough time
the beautiful ship at midnightIn St. Maarten, we took the morning and walked around the city. We stumbled upon a small shop where the creator of Yoda paints. We had him do a custom map of our cruise, and it's signed and dated. Then we took a photo!
welcome!
we got to take a water taxi
yep, the Yoda creator. Live and in person
lots of cacti on the mountains
this is a common cactus variety, but everytime we looked at one it made me laugh
near the end of the hike the group took turns climbing on the boulder
it's an Indian head. hair, eyes, nose, chin, can you see it??
there were a lot of goats in the mountains
walking back toward the ship!
there were a bunch of signs (Honolulu, Atlanta, Miami, etc.) but the fact they had one up for PSL was pretty neat!
we stopped for the best conch fritters ever
The Island

we got a great underwater photo of a turtle!After that, we took the Skyride up to the high point of the island, where we could see all sorts of things. I also took the opportunity to buy a kate spade purse, which I adore.
