I'm back from vacation. I had suuuuch a good time.
Wanna see pictures?
My dad decided to go all-out on this vacation. Therefore, a white limo picked us up.


After 2 flights, we were in San Juan Porto Rico. There was an old fort called San Cristobel, which we explored and took pics of.







The next day we boarded the cruise ship which set sail for Aruba. It was awesome.



It was all kinds of amazing. It had a rock-climbing wall.

There was a nightclub on board called Jesters.

When we woke up we were in Aruba.

There was an amazing natural bridge formed by waves.

I got my hair braided.

We met this family from Jersey who we ended up spending a lot of time with. They were really nice, especially their kids Kim and Eric.

On cruises, you are seated with other people. We were lucky to get a reallyu sweet Californain couple celebrating their 1st anniversary.
Our server was amazing, and she cried when we left.

The next day we were in Curacao. My dad and I took a Jewish heritage tour, and it turns out that Curacao has the oldest synagogue in the western hemisphere.
It had a sand floor, to remind us of the 40 years spent wandering the desert.

The pirate flag was actually stolen from the Jews, who put it on their grqaves in spain to ward off graverobbers. Hey Michelle... you're welcome!

Each night aborad the ship tehre was a show. One was an icecapades show. Got my pic taken with hott skater man. HOTT. Pics on the way.
The Drifters, an oldies band was there. They were really good.

Mum and I went snorkling in St.Maartin. I got an awesome LV knockoff bag. It's pink.
Every niht our room-guy would make a towel animal. On the last day we made them in one of the louynges. Here's my monkey.

In St.Thomas, an IDIOT off the smaller ship belonging to another, lesser, cruiseline,

KILLED an iguana. We were at the beach and there were ignanas wandering around EVERYWHERE.

So mr.Brilliant decided to put a leash on one.

It got scared an ran up a tree, and now is probably hanging from his string leash, dead cuz he got stuck.
My sister and I managed not to kill each other.

St.Thomas had the most beautiful views. We drove up the mountain and took this pic.

This is where sir francis drake used to watch the ships. They built a bench for him recently.

The next morning, we took another SanJuan tour, cuz thats where the ship lets us on and off, then went to the airport.




More detailed stories to follow.

Hi Rose! Thanks for the compliment =P I gained a lot of weight on the ship tho, the meals there are SO HUGE and they're is always a midnight buffet. I haven't heard from Jess in like a REALLY long time. I hope everything is ok with her. Do you mean the shoes with the beads and stuff on them? EVERYONE in Toronto is wearing them. If you get them from shoe-stores they are $$ but if you have like a China-Town type area where you live, get them there. They are super cheap there, like 6 bucks Canadian. I miss you lots, it was good to hear from you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
