First Day There

Our first day was spent at the Hilton Caribe.  First off the hotel is in need of some renovation.  The hilton did have a nice garden where we took a few pics.  We were tired from the plane flight over and didn't follow our plan.  We just grabbed dinner at the hotel at the Morton's of chicago there.  We should have done someting else it was just an average steak for too much moneyImage.

Sounds like you had a great time. My wife and I will be taking a cruise with Princess on Jan 19th and look forward to being able to spend some time in San Juan as the ship leaves and returns here. We'll have the full afternoon and evening the first day and then we'll have most of the day when we return before our flight back to Canada. Good to have some restaurant ideas to pass the time. Also, some great photos. Looks like the classes are paying off.

Im glad u guys are sharing ur great experience!!

MMATTIS21- I can suggest a few other things for you to do in PR. Camuy Caves are the 3rd largest caves in the world & very cool. & the Arecibo telescope is the largest radio telescope in the world. They have tours that take you to both at 1 time. If you like to surf, then Rincon on the west side is the best area. Ponce is a cool city in the south, its almost like a european city. There are museums & plazas all around. Guanica is a dry forrest near Ponce. You can actually see cactus on a tropical island! & some tour operators will let you swim in the biobay if noone is around. But they can get in trouble for this, b/c its considered pollution & thats how the glowing will disappear.
