Caribbean Christmas -- Day 4 -- Tortolla

 Tortolla -- quaint little island.

Trek to church -- who knew walking 4 blocks could take 30 minutes.

Finding a church by hearing the organ play the Sacrament hymn.

Doubling the size of the congregation and meeting the sweetest people ever.

Cute little boy that told me all about "paying tithing is putting some of your money in an envelope, giving it to that man in the red tie, and then getting blessings from heaven."

First formal night at dinner.

Escargo for everyone!

Everyone exploring decks, late night soccer, shows, kids club, karaoke and dancing.

Lauren... yes Lauren being the first person to meet a friend.  (Fortunately she isn't boy crazy and she was more interested in hanging out with her cousins and he enjoyed hanging out with the family.)




























Caribbean Christmas Day 3 -- Sailing Away!

Getting 30 people on the ship... turned out pretty smooth.

So grateful to Grandpa for our gorgeous room with a deck.

Loving the ship -- Windjammer, ice cream and the pool!

Love, love, loving the sun!

First of many fabulous dinners.

Room service ... how many pizzas did you order throughout the week Lauren?

Discovering all of the ways to eat 24 hours a day!

















Caribbean Christmas -- Day 1 & 2 -- SLC to San Juan

 SLC to LA -- LA to DC -- DC to San Juan... really long night, but lots of fun.

Jenn just about getting kicked off the plane.

Dunkin Donuts, Subway Sandwiches, Morning Naps on the Airport Benches.

San Juan Marriott -- fabulous beach!!!!!

30 degrees and inversion to 80 degrees & sunny skies...Merry Christmas to us!
