I did remember Skip "skipping" out of the trip, but hadn't realized it was on such short notice! So happy it still worked out for you. How lucky you even got the points back for his flight! That is something that would not happen here in Europe.
Lucky we had booked with Southwest. And I really had been smart to begin with. I guess I just had that thought in the back of my head....when I booked the flights, I booked Claire and I and then I booked Skip separately. So when I had to cancel his portion it was done easily and didn't mess with our bookings at all. I think I would have had to call to cancel him if I hadn't done it that way.
Your room looks nice in the photos, sorry it was not as clean as one would expect. I have never done airbnb, I use bookings . com and so far we have always been pleasantly surprised with our accommodations. We just returned from
Disneyland Paris and had rented a house and it was squeeky clean - even had water and juice in the fridge and condiments in a drawer. Loved it. (Sorry for being side tracked)
Now that sounds nice! I also wonder if San Juans standards just aren't the same? I don't know, but its sad that this cleaning company doesn't do a better job as it is a nice little place for the most part.
Sorry your dinner did not turn out to be what you expected it to be, but the Margarita Pizza comments made us both laugh.
I totally laughed when she told me that about the pizza.
No fun wanting to sleep and having non closing curtains and the party bus out front. Hope you got at least a little sleep. Can't wait for more!
We did actually sleep pretty well, but we were all so tired. M works nights, so she was out of whack for a few days, but she decided to not take a naps or she would mess herself up later.
I can't believe how crazy your plans got the day you were to leave as I would have been totally freaking out. So sorry that Skip had to back out like that but how nice that you were able to get a replacement for him at the last minute!
I was! But I guess being married to this crazy guy I have learned to roll with it too. I knew what to do about him, but I was just more worried about replacing him. LOL.
I am a crazed person when it comes to cleanliness at hotels so I know I would not have slept at all at your Airbnb apartment!
Yeah you would have not liked this place. Thankfully it was just one night.
We had a stop in San Juan during our RCCL a few years back and I was not impressed at all with the city. It's not a place that I have any desire to travel to again.
We actually enjoyed San Juan. We spent a day after the cruise too. Now I don't think I would want to stay many more days there and if I did, I would want a beach hotel with activities right there.
It was pretty hot there though.
I'm so excited to hear about the cruise!!
Coming up!!!!
I noticed your banner for tentative fall 2020 travel...where are you planning on going?
That's Karin's banner. LOL. I wish I had something planned, but right now I just have to get through March. hahaha.
Your dd's comment about the pizza was hilarious and so cute!
Wasn't that cute? I wondered why she would never get it in the past when it was one of the few options I knew she would eat.
This summer we're spending a week with my dh's parents and his siblings and their families. His sister found a lake house on the Airbnb site that we're ALL(20 people!!) staying at for a week. I plan on bringing lots of cleaning supplies and my own towels/sheets!!
Good idea! At one time I took a wet tissue and ran it along the baseboards. haha.
Looking forward to reading about how you liked the Wonder.
We really enjoyed it. I will tell you now, I think Tiana's is my favorite
DCL restaurant.
Love seeing all your pics, you always take such great ones!! It inspires me to take ones around the ship that I probably wouldn't have thought about taking if I hadn't seen some of yours.
Thanks. I am mainly using my point and shoot and my phone these days. I just can't carry the big DSLR around any more. I have some shoulder issues and neck pain, so I decided comfort is better. Sadly I think my point and shoot might need to be replaced soon, but I just don't want to spend the money on a new one yet.
We're suppose to get more snow tomorrow and all next week, this has been the lonnnnngest winter!!!
Ick. I have not looked at the weather lately. I know Skip keeps telling me daily that we are below average in temps. I am ready for Spring.
Last week we had a 30 ft pine tree fall over in our yard from the 60mph winds!
Oh gosh. Yeah we had winds like that too. Luckily nothing major blew over then. We had a lot of broken tree branches from the ice storm the week or so before though.
