What is everyone doing to charge their devices now that RCI banned multi outlet power cubes? So far RCI is the only cruise line to ban this item.

Jim and I only bring our phones, so no worries there for us!😉

I am looking at hotel options for our San Juan cruise in January.   Anyone have any suggestions?

 

We would arrive early afternoon Saturday then board Rhapsody on Sunday.  

 

I'm thinking Condado Hotel or Hilton Garden Inn near Condado Beach.   We definitely want a hotel with a pool and restaurant/bar. 

We stayed at Condado Ocean Club and liked it.  Wasn’t cheap but it’s right on the beach and a huge window if you go for that type of room.  I’ve got pics in my phone somewhere and it was in my live last year.

After the duck hunt, we took the kids to a WaterFire festival.

Torches are lit on the bridge.

And fire on the water.

The theme for the evening was from Earth, Wind, and Fire. 
 

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
While chasin' the clouds away

Today is our Granddaughter Ava’s 19th Birthday!   She’s now a Sophomore.  Where does the time go?

She spent her Summer working on her Dad’s Tugboat as one of the Deckhands. Hard job, but she’s a hard worker .Our girl grew up on the water, learning to surf and waterboard as a young kid, and today she becomes a Sorority sister!

She has always made us so proud!

My daughter and her husband went to an adult only birthday party for one of their friends turning 40 last night, so we had the grandkids.  
 

Took them on a duck hunt.  Found one.

He is our only redhead!  He was a little tyke in this photo, glad believe he is 18 now!!Screenshot2024-01-07at5_33_02PM.jpeg.f61bcd7b763171989b0d625a75eeec27.jpeg

He's a cutie.  Happy Birthday Number One🎉 Time sure does fly by.

Now that our boys are in their 20s, I keep forgetting their exact age.  I'm always doing the math to figure out 26, 27 or 28 yrs old.

 

I'm great at math and numbers so maybe I just dont want to see their age increase😅

I saw this one online and unfortunately they have a 2 night minimum on weekends in January and I cannot get off work that Friday.

Happy birthday to your Number One.  I guess this one is my Number two.   My Number One had his 12th birthday last month.

Thank you.  I saw the Caribe hotel but have a hard time justifying $600 per night.  The condado plaza hotel looks nice and is about $400 a night.  

 

I'll check out the other locations you mentioned.   Thank you, Sis😊

Caribe is not worth $600.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

No cats, but I did see a first last night at WaterFire.  Someone pushing a cat in a stroller.   
 

I have seen dogs in strollers before, but not cats.

Since yesterday was football, that meant this morning was baseball.  It was sooo long, and they finally ended the game in the 5th, after two hours.  
 

Grandson’s team was ahead 20-1 at that point.  
 

All in all, a good sports weekend for him.  
 

Oh, and today is his 12th birthday.   Party later.  

Happy 12th birthday to your grandson.
