Day 4 and it is still raining. Today we stopped at San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico is part of a chain of islands between Florida and Venezuela. This forms a divide between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
Because of the delays on embarkation day, the Captain altered our cruise itinerary. Our ports of call were reversed to help make up time.
The first port of call was Nassau, Bahamas. We have all been to the Bahamas before and once you have been, once you are good. Now, if the weather was a little more accommodating, we may have gotten off the ship to walk around, but it was raining heavily that day and since we have all been there before, we hung back and explored the ship instead.
Our first cruise in 10 years. The kids are excited; we are excited, this is going to be epic.
We arrived in Miami the night before the ship’s scheduled departure from port. I highly recommend always doing this to lessen the stress on you, especially if you are traveling with a group or young kids.
We wanted to enjoy a relaxing evening at the hotel, get a good night’s sleep, wake up to a big breakfast, and then head to the Port of Miami to board. Our scheduled boarding time was noon.
We have been "traveling" for @ 20 hours at this point.
We have made it as far as Atlanta, twice!!!!
We left ATL at 5 pm yesterday only to return to ATL at 8pm due to storms in FL.
Being out in the woods is magic for your soul. Let me make it clear, I am not one who enjoys getting hot and sweaty. But there is something about being in the woods, hiking and waterfalls that makes it worth it.
