We have a fun story- they treated Corey and I like royalty since we were named after their 1st female president in the Philliines and her daughter – Corey and Kris !

It was so sparkly and still and I couldnt quite capture the beauty!
Had a long 15 hours of travel home. We were exhausted but happy! Look at the gorgeous Chicago skyline!
By the time we got to Grand Turk, Corey was sick too with head cold that later turned into pneumonia! So both she and Hal missed the best place!

Our excursion went to the most amazing snorkeling place and then to a beach to play with sting rays!
Seriously….the water!
The reef where we snorkeled
We didn’t do an excursion in Puerto Rico. We decided to just walk around and explore. I think next time I would like to do one of the excursions in the rainforest on the other side of the island. It had way more buildings than I thought it would!
Here is my panoramic view from the boat:

We loved visiting the oldest historic fort in the US- built in the 1500s and a huge part of the Spanish empire!

This is a beautiful area but we definitely did not enjoy the excursion we went on.

Look at that color!
They took us out to supposedly swim with sea turtles. However, there were no turtles, the water was murky, and we only saw a couple of silver fish. They were a party boat with lots of alcohol and loud music. Not fun! But the area was beautiiful!
Then they took us to Honeymoon Bay- again not what they promised. But we did hop off the boat and enjoy the beauty!
Loved our awesome waiters! And the fun dancing performances!

The zipline across the ocean!
The obstacle course scared the crap out of me! We were harnessed but it was still terrifying. I was so proud I made it through without falling once! The best part was hearing Corey the whole time saying how much she didnt like the course. Hal woke up in the morning not feeling weel. He did the zipline but sat out on a the obstacle course.
Not us but a pic of the course
After, we went to an authentic luncheon by the beach. We were sitting down when Bob came running towards us from the drink line saying that Hal had passed out. We raced over and he was out cold on the cement. Their was a nurse there helping right away and a paramedic showed up quickly after. Ive never seen Hal so pale! He was sure he had the flu and it was super scary! The paramedic drove us back to the ship. Hal was in the medical room on the ship for a couple of hours while they monitored him and sadly he missed the rest of the excursions!
