Puerto Rico Day 1

Hi!

Well no phone service is a grump... Jen is definitely roaming. I feel aggrieved at not being able to call whenever I want.

Flight departed PHX without a hitch - except that the flight was overbooked... EVERY seat was taken. Jen and I did not sleep much...

Charlotte was... an airport. Jen and I mosied too our gate. She beat me a scrabble (be warned - Jen is a mean scrabble player). We then mosied back to the food court. We had a light breakfast (burger king...)

Flight to Puerto Rico was BOOKED too. We met a nice group who was struggling to ctch up with their cruise ship...

Arrival in San Juan... over one hour to get our luggage (NO exaggeration!) then we got in another line to catch a cab. Uneventful. =)

We got our hotel - our room was not ready... What to do??? We changed into our swim suits and went swimming in the ocean!!! I was verklempt when I first saw it. When we were coming up to check on our room we saw Sian and her fiancee Gary. He is a really cool guy!

The view from our room is OK - but not quite what we expected - lots of dumpsters. 2.5 hours after our arrival - our room was finally ready. It is a nice room. We showered and went in search of food.

Amy spent the last 45 minutes futzing with the wireless... Gave up and connected to the LAN.

All is well. We are safe and looking forward to our presentation tomorrow - after which we plan to go to Old San Juan and see the fort...
