The Most Interesting Thing That Happened to Me Last Week

Last week, I was cruising through the Caribbean on the Oasis of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship. We visited Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, St. Maarten, and Haiti. As you can imagine, it was quite a shock when I returned to the U.S. and there was snow on the ground.

 Our first port of call was St. Kitts, located in the West Indies. This is a panorama of the east end of the island from the ship. The photo below is of Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas. As you can see, she's not a ship to be messed with. There were over 8,000 people on the ship, more than the population of my hometown of Menifee County, KY.

The next stop was St. Maarten! We landed on the Dutch side of the island and took a water taxi over to the main part of town. The man who helped create Yoda lives on the island and runs a museum. Lucky for my dad and I, who are avid Star Wars fans.

 

From there we sailed to San Juan, Puerto Rico, one of the oldest established cities in the United States. Puerto Rico was my favorite destination, but unfortunately, we had to be back on the ship in just a few short hours. We stayed long enough to get a Pina Colada from the restaurant where they were created, as well as check out the favorite local dish, mofungo.

 

I had a great trip, and look forward to my next adventure!
