Thoughts on the Final Day......


A group of 20 or so headed out to sea, led by Magellan, on a catamaran for a day of snorkeling on a coral reef.  Common sense - or is it being old & tired - got the best of me.  I was one of the group that stayed behind.......  Those that stayed behind hit the beach.  Trust me on this one:  the beach, a "speedo" & an over the top body builder are not three ingredients you want to stir in the same kettle.....

Motorcycle riders definitely do not need to obey any traffic laws here.....

I'm really glad that I got my Puerto Rico haircut; now if I'd only thought to wear a hat other than on the baseball field......

Had a nice group dinner in the restaurant at the top of the top of the  hotel.  It was nice to have everyone together for one last time.

Most folks depart for the airport @ 6am for flights that depart between 8-8:30am.  We all rendevous at Bradley around 2pm.....

Can't believe it's over already!!!!!!!!

The Puerto Rican lifestyle is relaxed & laid back..... 7 o'clock might mean 7 o'clock or 7:15 or 7:20 or 7:30...  If one is patient, they can get along & around very well; if not patient, the wait simply becomes longer & longer...  Just the opposite on the baseball field...  players run on & off at all times; between innings, PR teams are ready to go in about 2 minutes; no wasted time; PR teams try to play 7 inning games in 2 hrs or less; we were done games in about 2:15, not too bad....
