Wendy and Tom take a break at Sea Trek's underwater café.

SAN JUAN, PR - This cruise ended up being quite enjoyable for both Tom and Wendy. They were able to visit a new place and try some new experiences.
   After leaving San Juan, the first stop was St. Thomas. There, Tom and Wendy took a catamaran to St. John's Honeymoon Beach, where they snorkled. The next day they were in Martinique, where they took a tour to snorkel and see the Black Bat Cave. The next day, in Barbados, Tom and Wendy did something new. They first kayaked along the Platinum Coast for about 30 minutes, before they were taken to snorkel with sea turtles, where they were actually able to touch these "gentle giants". After a day at sea, they arrived in Aruba, where they took part in a Sea Trek Adventure. This was a helmet dive, where they walked on the floor of the Caribbean for about 20 minutes. One more day at sea finished up their cruise.
   All in all, Tom and Wendy enjoyed the cruise. The weather wasn't perfect, but it was warm, which was all Wendy wanted. Tom, on the other hand, swears he will never cruise during this time of year again. Time will tell.
