Caribbean Cruise
Dec 10, 2013 09:03:03 #
We stayed at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan a day before our family cruise. Each day could be a whole vacation there, and cost just as much if you dont get a deal. One cruise excursion brought us to Prickly Pear Island. You can see about 75% of the only beach on this off shore locale. Having been to St. Maartin, we opted for Maho Bay Beach where tourists learn airline schedules ahead of their vacation. Interesting to watch them jockey for position on the beach to have planes land just above their tan lines, and then get sandblasted by the engine backwash when they take off from just across the street (watch it on YouTube). Thankfully we were never in a rush since it always seemed like it was 5 oclock somewhere.

Nice pictures...was your hotel close to the airport?
Appreciate your friendly comments. Hotel was approximately a 12 minute cab ride from the airport; allowing us a short jaunt back to the docks.

Thanks for looking in and your kind comments. Now I feel the weight of being outed as a 'Mass' refugee. :lol:
