We woke up early today to drive to Ponce, which was about an hour and a half from our hotel. We wanted to check out the Museo Castillo Serrales. We arrived right at opening time and bought a combination ticket so we could also view the Japanese gardens and the panoramic view. The Museo Castillo Serrales was built by the Serrales family in the 1930s. The couple who … Continue reading Puerto Rico: Ponce

We found out later that it is the … Continue reading Puerto Rico: Aguadilla

We had to walk a couple of blocks to get our rental car. The buildings are well maintained and it feels newer, buildings were cleaner and neater. Our … Continue reading Bonaire
We are on a Carnival cruise to the ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) Islands. I would rather not focus on the cruise side of this trip. Honestly, Carnival is not my favorite cruise line for a variety of reasons. However, you should know that if you take a cruise to these islands, there are going to be FOUR sea days. Two to get there and two to get back. This … Continue reading Aruba
