Spring – 2015 - Day 1

We took off from Bloomington right on time and had wonderful flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico.  It took only one hour from the time we walked off the plan until we were in the Marriott.  This is the Marriott San Juan Resort and Stellaris Casino, a property that we have stayed at many times.  It is right on the beach and in the heart of the nightlife and restaurants.

Our room is on the 17^th floor looking out at the ocean.  This is the first time that we have not  been give a corner room; however, the hotel is full and the rates have gone up a $1,000 for the three-day weekend, more than double what we are paying!  We made the reservations some months ago on a one day Marriott seniors special.

After checking in, we walked around and found a new CVS Pharmacy a block away, across from the Walgreens where we always shop.  Kahula was $3 a bottle cheaper at CVS so we bought a couple of bottles and some Pepsi to take on the ship after we ate dinner.

We had asked the desk where there was a close local restaurant and they recommend this place.  It was called Orozcos and we ate some good food for dinner.  It was based upon pork and a lot off side dishes.

We got back to the room at 8 and crashed.  Tomorrow is supposed to be 84 and we are looking forward to the heat and sitting on the beach.

We are glad to be here but we also already miss everyone, including our new puppy, Pippen!

I left a camera cord at home so I will add more pictures tomorrow.
