I'm back to post about our first two stops on Adventure of the Seas :-)
Puerto Rico
So Puerto Rico wasn't a stop on the cruise, but it is where we embarked! It felt like we were on vacation once we stepped off the plane. We stayed at a hotel right across the street from the beach on Friday night.
We were ready for lunch once we got to the hotel so, after trying to ask many people who didn't speak English, we were directed towards a little cafe/bar place. We all had cuban sandwiches, except my Dad. He got mofongo. It was quite interesting (think: mashed up & cooked bananas) but apparently it's popular down there.
Shortly after lunch, we headed out to the beach. We laughed that we traveled all the way to Puerto Rico to go to Carolina Beach :)
Our day in Puerto Rico ended by eating at a restaurant on the beach called Alambique. It was delicious!
We woke up early on Saturday morning to head to the ship!
St. Maarten
We stopped in St. Maarten on Sunday. Our plan was to visit the "airport beach" (Maho) and go to a french bakery!
The drive to Maho Beach was beautiful and our cab driver, Leo, stopped at all the best photo ops ;-)
This beach really is insane. The planes land RIGHT by the beach & they fly so closely overhead. Some small planes flew in first and they got bigger and bigger.
We were actually in the water when the biggest plane flew over.
& just because it's hilarious... :-)

Not too long after noon, a storm rolled it and it POURED down raining. We found shelter under the bar and then once it passed, we headed to the french bakery!
It was a tasty way to end our day in St. Maarten :-)
