Great first day

The first fun-filled, action packed day is coming to an end. Since we awoke, Aggie and I have been in a whirlwind of new experiences.

The first was our flight. Neither of us had ever flown Elite Class, so it was quite an experience. Legroom to the point that I couldn’t touch the seat in front of me. Open bar. A personal TV with 20 movies to choose from (check out The Departed). Service and comfort like never before. Totally the way flying was meant to be.

San Juan, Puerto Rico is like a slightly dirtier version of Miami – but with European drivers. The scenery is beautiful, and the coastline is prettier than a painting. As we pulled up to the pier, I was able to snap the photo shown with this entry.

We strolled around old San Juan after boarding, and tried some local food (actually it was Mexican food, but they speak Spanish too). I picked up a couple of Cubans (Montecristo) for the smoking lounge, and got my first water color painting of the trip,

Tonight we ate in the main dinner hall, and I had a delicious prime rib. It’s hard to believe that the food is all-inclusive. Johnny Rockets is even available for a $3.95 service charge. I bought the unlimited soda package so we can get one whenever we want, 24 hours a day.

Tonight Aggie is sleeping, and I went to play basketball for an hour and a half. Got back to the room just in time to see the first parade in the promenade (the view from our room is of the promenade).

Time now to choose swimming or sleep. Tough call :-)
