Puerto Rico

Welcome to Puerto Rico!
Fort El morro, that kept Old San Juan safe from intruders.
Bananas anyone? We went to the fruit market everyday for fresh fruit and smoothies.
Us saying goodbye to our "home" for the past 4 days in Puerto Rico
And us saying hello to our new "home" for the next 7 days at sea.


The Golden Girls were back at it, another adventure which included 4 days in Puerto Rico and a 7 day cruise on the Carnival, Victory through the Caribbean. We stopped off and visited St. Thomas, Dominca, Barbados, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts. We were headed to St. Maarten, however hurricane Igor was on our tail and did not allow us to dock. So we spent an extra day at sea being re-routed to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

This was an amazing trip, there is nothing like soaking the rays of the Caribbean and being able to swim in the warm ocean.

I had a relaxing time, what a care free way to recover from the last two years. Now that I am relaxed I am ready to get to work!

The Caribbean

I'm relaxing in the Caribbean Sea.... on the island of St. Thomas

In the pool at the Ritz, on St. Thomas

Sarai, Jen, and I took a ride on the Gladiator, what a rush. The water felt so amazing!

RDH

Well, it's official I am a registered dental hygienist in the state of Oregon!!! I am now in the process of applying for my Washington State license. Now I just need to start working!

Our Jungle Trip

While snorkeling, Nick dove down trying to catch some fish.... almost!

I am wading in the ocean, trying to cool off. We spent the day on the island of Las Calaitas.

This is the view from the back of our hotel.... we truly are in the jungle.

After dinner photo... we enjoyed a yummy meal with ocean view!

This is the view from our balcony, looking out on all the pools, ocean, and beach. We were on the 8th floor.

We were in Puerto Vallarta for 6 days, 7 nights, and enjoyed every minute of it! This was an excellent way to end the school year. We were there right in the beginning of the rainy season so everything was very green. The sun was hit or miss and it rained a few times but it was warm and enjoyable. We visited the site were the movie The Predator was filmed, we snorkeled, layed on the beach, swam in the pool and the ocean, hiked through the jungle, and ate lots of yummy food! We can't wait to go back!

Love, Ash and Nick
