St. Thomas and Puerto Rico

Our second port of call was Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, USVI. It was beautiful. Here was pulling up to port.

We took an excursion to Magens Bay and went swimming...beautiful.

Overlooking Magens Bay :)

I told Anthony I was going to make him wear this sign around his neck lol.

The next day we sailed into San Juan, Puerto Rico. I absolutely adored Puerto Rico. We plan on going back someday. :)

We took a ride through the city (it was big) to the rain forest.

This was an observation tower where you could look out all across San Juan area.

On top of the tower :)

I LOVED the flowers in the rain forest...lol I only posted a few of the pics I took.

Then we went on a pretty little hike :)

 After the rainforest, we got dropped of in Old San Juan for some shopping. We ate...fuganda? Something like that. It's an authentic Peurto Rican dish made with mashed green bananas....and let me tell ya. It was insane. I could eat this stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would travel all the way back to Puerto Rico JUST to eat this again.

Anthony got the seafood fuganda...

And I got the chicken. Now I'm hungry.

Hark the harold angels sing!

I'm ready for the holidays! How about you?

Miami, Bahamas and cruising :)

Ok, here is leg one of our vacation. Im going to take this in steps because the internet out here takes forever to upload pictures. So before our cruise we spent a few sunny days in Miami.

We embarked at 1600 hrs on Saturday afternoon and arrived at Half Moon Cay, Bahamas the next morning. Just imagine the most beautiful, perfect beach and you have Half Moon Cay :). The white sand was soo soft it felt like you were walking on baby powder. And the water was insanely clear and calm.

We spent about 8 glorious hours here, by the end of which I was pretty much a lobster. Or at least the color of one lol. We had a BBQ on the beach and did a little shopping too (of course). I would have been happy spending all 7 days here!

Here is the next morning on our private balcony....this day was a sea day. So we spent a lot of time in the spa :)

It was real windy.

It didn't mess up Anthony's hair though.

Here is looking down the center of the ship from the Lido Deck, Deck 9. There are 12 Decks on the ship.

The view off the very back of the ship...

It was windy back here too lol.

We had dinner that night at Harry's Steakhouse. (A-mazing.)

Anthony ordered the 24 oz porterhouse steak, of course. He's only been waiting for it since our cruise last year lol. He also ate half of my 12 oz ribeye, so...30 oz of steak? Plus sides, appitizers, salad, dessert...not sure how he does it.

Anthony's cheesecake...it was MASSIVE. Delicious though. 

And my chocolate sampler...it was all amazingly good. And beautiful, right? But by the time we got to dessert, I managed to take about one bite of each and couldn't fit anymore in. Pitty cause it was all SO good.

We took some videos too, so I will post them once I get them on the computer :).

A piano for me :)

Well, finally got a piano. I found one someone was selling locally for a great price...it's kind of an antique lol - it about 100 years old. But it still plays great, I just need to get it tuned. And find a bench. I told Athony I was so happy that I'll never ask for anything again...until I want something else.  :)

Another day in Dillingham

So today we decided to take a little walk down on Kanakanak beach. The sun was shining, luring us into a false sense of security. It was real cold and windy. But we still had a good time. :) We got a tasty chai tea...

And a large cinnamon roll that my husband tried to devour right through the plastic wrap lol

Like I said...cold and windy.

After a while though, we were just numb and we didn't really care anymore.

Yep, that's right. King of the rock. Knocked Anthony right off. With my huge muscles.

Hope eveyone else had a great Monday too!
