Great job keeping us all engaged and wanting more. Glad your trip home was quick, albeit not uneventful. Rest up to get back to normal life tomorrow. Thanks for everything. ~PB

This was another fun trip. Thanks for all you do to make it an enjoyable read. Can’t wait for your thoughts of your next adventure since our wonderful TA has us on the same itinerary 2 weeks after. Basketball season can’t end soon enough. It’s been a struggle. 😂

Still here. Just finished snowblowing the driveway so the wife could get to a funeral. With the snow that’s currently falling I’ll have to do this at least once more today and again tomorrow. Carry on at the Red Frog. I’ll just be here living vicariously through you. ~PB

This was an epic day in OSJ. Thanks for all the pics and drinks. I enjoy your reviews and insights and always enjoy reading your “lives”. Have a great day in St Thomas.

Birra and Empanada is on my list to do when we sail out of San Juan next month. We’re spending 3 days in OSJ prior to our embarkation. Definitely want local food.

In Bonaire, we booked a drift snorkel with Woodwind. It’s a short walk from the pier. It’s family owned and limited space so it’s not a cattle call. Drinks and food were included. It was the best meal we had during our entire cruise. I can’t recommend them enough.

The Browns would have won playoff games with Baker this year. Happy for him that he gets to keep playing.

I didn’t see this until now. You have to see if they will make you a “Roadie”. Used to be their signature marg. Some old school bartenders still know how to make it. It’s a go to when we go, if they will still make it.

Back for the action. Have a great trip! Looking forward to another epic trip! ~PB

How is this on page 8 already? I feel like I’ve missed a bunch already. Have a blast! ~PB

Glad you landed safely. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of another great ride along. ~PB

We’re staying in OSJ for three days prior to our Feb cruise. We will hit some of these same options. They looked yummy.

Embarkation day! Let’s get the party started!

Here for your adventures! Have a great trip!

The last time we were there we hopped in the tender just for the ride and check out the port shops. We enjoy the ride in the water. I will say it poured on the way back. We found a center standing spot away from the windows. We were dry. The lightning and thunder on the water added to the ambiance of the ride. So many people were panicking. We sleep on our boat in the summer so storms on the water aren’t new to us.

We pack our own stainless and/or silicone straws. So much easier than using the slimy candy straws.

The ferry from St John dropped us off in downtown and we did the harbor walk back to the ship. We loved walking along the water and through the marina on the way back to the ship. Again, one of our favorite islands. Looks like a beautiful day.

St Thomas is one of our favorite islands. One of the things we’ve never done is take the tram up for the view at Paradise Point. That’s in our agenda next time we go.

Good for you on the rebound. Glad the day ended up being a good one.

Transportation in San Juan and OSJ isn’t hard to find at all. Regular cabs or Uber are available. Standardized zone rates are available from the airport taxis to places in San Juan. Prices have always been reasonable. It won’t be an issue.

All caught up. Our last cruise was on the Magic and it wasn’t a stellar experience. It’s been a minute and hoping it’s a good trip for the next 22 or so days. Our next Carnival is back on the Magic as well. Live the 8 day itinerary that goes back down to St Thomas and St Maarten. I’m here for it all. ~PB

Perfect. We’re staying just a short walk from the pier right in OSJ. We’re going down Wednesday and staying for a few days before. We chose Wednesday because we could get nonstop flights from Cleveland down and fortunately can get nonstops to Cleveland back after the cruise. Can’t wait for it to get here. Have to get through basketball season first. First game Friday.

From what I’ve seen it’s in OSJ. Hoping that’s accurate as we plan on walking the three blocks to the pier.

This would drive me crazy.

Looks like a deal.
