Puerto Rico Trip

Day 1: We arrived at the resort around 4 pm where we checked in, walked around the resort, ate at the company buffet dinner, then went to bed. It was a long trip there!

Day 2: We woke up to a company breakfast buffet, had pictures taken, then rented a vehicle with a few other couples we knew and toured the Fort in Old San Juan. That was amazing. The picture of me with my tummy next to the canon ball was just to show how large those canons at the Fort were. We came home that evening, showered, and headed over with a bunh of others to a five star seafood restaurant for dinner. When we came back, we played in the casino a little then went straight to bed.

Day3: We hung at the pool the whole day. We acutally slept in until noon because we were still used to being in Idaho time which was 3 hours behind. That night we had the awards ceremony where we were served the most amazing dinner of soup, salad, sorbet to cleanse the palat, steak and lobster, and then the most decadent chocolate mousse and white chocolate plate. Chez was awarded 3 different awards! It was truly special because there were thousands of others in the company who also made it to President's Club and only a handful receieved this many awards. I had no idea he had that many coming so it was a very proud moment. The awards ceremony didn't end until midnight so we went straight to bed after.

Day 4: We woke up early for a jungle tour in San Juan. It was breath-taking. The views were amazing. We came back, hung at the pool, showered, headed off to a secluded resort with everyone where we entered a jungle-themed buffet dinner. It was amazing but we couldn't stay long because us and a few other couples went on a night kayak trip through a bay off the ocean. It was so neat because this night-time adventure in the bay glowed. With every stroke of the kayak ore, there was a glow. You could put your hand in the water and see it glow. They call it "bioluminescence" I know I spelled that wrong! Anyway, it was so amazing!

Day 5: We hung at the pool and beach all day. Towards the end of the day at the beach, a pretty bad rain storm came bareling in and we got drenched! It was fun though. There are these huge iguanas that hang out in the palm trees around the pool and once it started raining, they climbed out of the trees and took a swim! It was so cute. That night we headed off to another company dinner buffet then spent the evening playing in the casino.

Day 6: We woke up at the butt crack of dawn to catch our flights back home. It was a very tiring day but I was so happy to see my little boy!
