Consider this your virtual postcard from Puerto Rico. I write to you from the tropical port of San Juan...the first port of call on my singles cruise. So far it's a fairly good grou of people...you've got the mix of like three males who can actually socialize for every twelve women of the same, but that's to be expected...otherwise, am very relaxed, not too seasick and looking forward to Antigua and St. Maarten.
Disappointments so far...My horseback riding trip was canceled because our ship was delayed coming into the port. (Or the Puerto, as the locals say...) And last night was karaoke night, which of course meant that was the night I wasn't feeling well. Never have I missed karaoke, and I hear ship's lounges are the right place to be...but I guess it just wasn't meant to be this time. Sad, though.
Anyway, hope this finds you all well, and looking forward to briefing you in less brevity (is that even possible?) soon.
Sail on, buccaroos.
Enough with the blogging, where are the photos!?!?

Enjoy St. Martin, there is a fine Reggae cafe in the middle of things by the beach, good coffee.
Ask them if they have any Matisyahu CD's.
Hope you are hooking up...

Hope you enjoy the trip.
I hijack this thread to inform you that my mother got a dog.
And named her Simcha. For some reason I thought you'd appreciate that and felt the need to come over here and post as such.

Send my best to Isaac the bartender, and Julie the cruise director! (Capt. Steubing you can ignore)

Esther, do you get drunk before you do karaoke? Are you allowed to do it sober, just curious?
I just googled that Puerto Rico has 3000 Jews. I'm trying to imagine, tank tops and tzitzit.
Hope you find one. Simcha
P.S. No relation to the above dog.

Ahh, enjoy the tropics, lady. And here's to at least one of those three socially-normal dudes holding a private karoake make-up session in his cabin...
(Oh wait, are you shomer negiah? In that case, hoping for a lovely stroll around the upper deck...)
For some reason, the thought of you on thise cruise just has me smiling...

What? No kareoke???
Hey, you owe me a picture, missy.

If Plantation gets a pic, I'd like one too. Preferably taken on one of those "European" style beaches of St Maarten. As I always say Esther, when in Rome...

What is "shomer negiah" exactly? Is that analogous to the Christian Fundementalist kids who are running around these days "taking the pledge" of no sexual relations until marriage?
