Freedom Cruised to the Caribbean with Claire


During the Christmas Holiday from school, Freedom went on a cruise with me and my family. We got on the Italian Costa Cruise Line in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We were at Sea for two days before we got to our first destination, St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. We went on a tour and got to see the island and many of its landmarks. We even saw a giant Termite nest!

The next day we arrived in San Juan, Rico. Freedom went with me to explore the ancient fortresses and great stone walls of "El Morro" that guard the entrance of the San Juan harbor. We climbed down to the inside of the fort where they used to keep their cannons to shoot at their enemies. While we were there we saw a couple of cats inside a little tunnel.

The next day we were at sea again where we enjoyed many activities on the ship. We swam, went down a water slide on the top deck of the boat and met lots of people that spoke different languages. On our last stop we arrived in Nassau in the Bahamas at a place called Atlantis. We took Freedom to Dolphin Cay were we got to swim with dolphins.

It was a wonderful trip, especially because I had a Patriot Kid along the way!

  1. Claire, this seems like it was a fantastic trip! I too have been to the fortress at San Juan. I was amazed at how they were able to build such a grand building that has lasted for so long!
