{CARIBBEAN} Day Eleven - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Today we docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico...

and well, well, well...

THIS is the point where our family trip became not ONE, but TWO "adventures" running simultaneously...

Grandma and I disembarked early, went through customs, caught a taxi to the airport...

and began the journey HOME...

as we were not particularly interested in checking into the hospital in San Juan... Good thing we've both visited before (San Juan, that is, NOT the hospital in San Juan...and keeping it that way)!

Meanwhile, the rest of our crew stayed on board to (hopefully) finish the journey (barring no one else breaks any bones ~ maybe I should stop while I'm ahead... Wait, am I ahead?!?!?).

After all, our car was still in Florida...

Hubby and the kids took a shore excursion tour over to El Yunque National Forest...

the only tropical rainforest in the United States National Forest System...

They visited La Coca Falls...

the Baño Grande...

and Yokahú Tower...

with breathtaking views from the top...

From there, they headed back to the ship...

about the time that we were taking off...

We landed at our home airport a bit before midnight and were met by one of my dearest college friends who had bought a wheelchair and was waiting curbside to drive us home...

All smiles...
