We are here!

Weds. 3/3/10

After a very early start – leaving the house at 5am, we had a pretty uneventful trip. All flights were on time, with no last minute scrambling to get seats together. On the flight to San Juan, the kids got to sit in the cockpit – very cool. Amazingly all our luggage made it here as well, so all in all a perfect trip.

We made it to the Harbourview Hotel at about 7pm. Office was closed, but there was a note on the door for us telling us which room to go to.( I love the Caribbean!) After dragging all 200lbs of luggage up the stairs and figuring out how to turn on the A/C – Tracy was smart enough to look for a remote! – we headed down to the dock to check out Seabbatical. It was pretty dark, so no good pictures. Just a relief to see it sitting right where it was supposed to be. First impression: Its HUGE. Its as wide as our first boat was long. We had a strange wind from the west, pushing it on to the dock, and there is a very long power boat docked right in front. It could be a challenge to get away from the dock, so I’m hoping for a good wind change before we leave tomorrow.

For dinner we walked across the street to Emily’s Cantina. The Mexican food was good, but the chicken nuggets (big surprise, the kids ordered chicken nuggets) were horrible. To Noah’s credit, no big complaints, he just quietly dealt with it. Its late, and we are all exhausted, so as soon as dinner was over we headed back to room and crashed. Tomorrow the real fun begins.
