Day 1: Embarkation

First I want to give a big, public "Thank You" to Nikki and McKay Dunn who picked us up at 4:00 am on DAYLIGHT Saving Sunday (so really 3am.) It was an early morning and we have them to thank.

We flew direct from JFK to San Juan, PR. We also flew Jet Blue so there wasn't a lot to complain about there. We were on the ship and ready to party by 12:30!
We went right to our room and admired our balcony and the beautiful blue water. We explored the ship for a while then had lunch. We actually sat with an older couple that was from CT as well. This was there 25th cruise with Princess. They have been all over the world and has a lot of fun stories to share. After lunch we went straight to the spa to sign up for the thermal suite. Best money spent all week!

We had a wonderful dinner (as they always were.) Then met up with our friends Ryan and Brooke. I have to say having friends on this trip made it ridiculously more fun! We went to a raffle and mine was the first name drawn. I won 30 min of free internet which I was pretty dang excited about! Then we hung out in the hot tube while the sail off party was going on. It was a great first day and made us even more anxious for the rest of the trip!


(Also a special thank you to Lindsey Stokes for helping me figure out how to make these picture collages.)
