Day One, February 18 San Juan
We arrived the night before and stayed at a charming bed & breakfast.
Just down the street was a sidewalk pub/restaurant where we ate baby octopus (cooked, of course) and marveled at the bumper-to-bumper traffic on the narrow streets. As Caribbean music blasted from the open windows, the drivers were so courteous to each other and nobody lost their cool! We could definitely take some lessons from them.

We spent most of the day exploring the neighborhood on foot and soaking up the sun on the beach (on the Atlantic) just around the corner from our hotel. Ron insisted that he was going to tan with his oil and ignored my pleas to use a sunscrean. Needless to say, he would come to regret this!

That evening, we boarded our ship. That evening, I won over $400 at the casino and we explored all the night clubs on board.
