The Caribbean
December 4-11 1999 - With the Callantines |
Back to Home Page
|
| |
|
We took our first (and to this date, last)
cruise with the Callantines late in 1999. We started
our trip with a day in Puerto Rico, then we loaded onto
the boat and we were off to St. Thomas. The following day was
Antigua - easily the best part of the cruise. On our last day we
visited St. Croix

Yes, Eric was a climbing fanatic even way back then
This is him climbing the sea wall in Puerto Rico |

In Old San Juan |
On our tour of El Morro - a 400 year old Spanish fort |
| |
|
 |
 |
| We were told they once shot a cannon through Sir Frances
Drake's cabin |

 |
| Now we take a tour of the Bacardi rum
factory |

Me & Eric on Coki beach, after snorkeling |

We did a little shopping, then took a last look at St. Thomas
|
 |
|
Here we are, all dressed up for dinner |
| |

|
Here's some shots of Antigua - we took a Catamaran
cruise from there to Bird Island for a snorkeling trip |

| On the way back they bring out the rum, then
it's limbo time! |

Antigua |

 |
 |
| Antigua again |
This is St. Croix - our last island |
| |
|
 |
 |
This is Cane Bay on St. Croix - the
site of great snorkeling
and one impressive argument between me & Eric! |
|
| |
|
|
|
I actually saw a
Sea Turtle, but
it was so deep
the picture didn't
turn out |
 |
|
Heading back to the ship, Eric & I have
made up now |

A last look at Frederiksted, St. Croix |

|
Unfortunately, Eric got very, very sick on our last night.
|
|
| |
|
 |
Eric was so sick that we couldn't fly home
as planned. We had to check into a hotel
so he could rest and fly home the next day.
Being the good wife that I am, while he slept
I caught a cab to this beach - so he could
rest, of course. He felt much better the next day. |
