This was our last day together for the next 5 months, and unfortunately our last days usually don’t go so smoothly. We awoke to find that my credit card had been billed $210 in gratuity, which we feel is extremely excessive, and it took 45 mins to get that straightened out (we tipped extra on our card for the Camp Carnival Daycare workers, to find that none of the money went to them – not happy about that). I did like that there were several employees at the taxi stand in San Juan (upon leaving the boat) that issued a fee slip before it was your turn for a taxi – no haggling, no ripping you off by not starting the meter. They do, however, charge $1 per bag extra). After a $22 taxi ride to our hotel, Coral by the Sea (a 2 star hotel… the worst; will never ever stay here ever again), we were crammed in this teeny lobby (could hold about 5 people comfortably) with literally 30 other people who were all waiting for a room. We were all tired, Belle was being two (terribly rotten) & the staff was rude & unhelpful. We got to the hotel just after 11 am, and checkout wasn’t until noon, so we had to wait until after 1 pm for our room. We had a rental car reserved, but decided to just hang out in our room. We have to be at the airport NLT 4 am, as Josh leaves for Korea at 6:15 am and Belle & I return to CA at 6:10 am (via Miami).
What a trip! Glad you all were able to spend time together. You're on the home stretch now. Any pics of my baby bro?
