FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2008:
Very early on Friday, February 15 I flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
It was a four and a half hour flight out of Chicago's O'Hare airport.
I arrived in San Juan around 4:00pm and checked into the Condado Plaza Hotel.
It was sunny and warm and I had time for a short walk around the area before the sun set.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2008:
On Saturday I boarded the Crown Princess around noon. It was docked at Pier Four in Old San Juan.
Since we didn't sail until 11:00pm I spent the afternoon walking all around historic Old San Juan.
Children were cooling off from the warm afternoon sun in the fountain at Plaza del Quinto Centenario.
The lawn in front of Castillo San Filipe del Morro was filled with people flying kites in the strong trade winds.
There are spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean from the nearly 500 year old fort.
After leaving del Morrow I continued my walk
through the narrow streets of Old San Juan over to Fort San Cristobal.
You get a nice view of the city and my cruise ship from inside this fort.
I returned to the ship at dusk for dinner and the welcome aboard show in the Princess Theater.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2008:
After the cruise was over we returned to San Juan. Since we arrived early in the morning and my flight
didn't leave the worthless San Juan Airport until late afternoon, I took a tour of the El Yunque Rainforest.
You got a nice view of the Rainforest from the top of the Yokahu Tower.
The last place we stopped in the park was La Coca Falls.
After the rainforest it was off to the airport and the return flight home.
