Here are some brief Highlights of our recent Caribbean Cruise Ports Visited:

Bahamas – Private island, nice white sandy beaches and good lunch. Virgin Islands – Did some shopping and split a ¾ burger at a tavern. Puerto Rico – Bus tour of Old San Juan, browsed the local shops and even toured an ancient defense building near the shore. Turks and Cacos – Included Margaretaville and some shopping. They had some drinking and dancing contests around the pool. Had white sandy beaches here too!

Additional Highlights of the week:

Great Food – Filet, lobster tail, prime rib, and several seafood plates. Molten chocolate was the desert of choice and we even got the recipe for it!

Weather was mid-upper 70’s the entire time! It rained once briefly on the Virgin Islands when we were inside eating lunch!

Met some new friends in our dinner group form Los Angeles! Amy and Geoff were our age and they were a riot to sit by!
