After the Virgin Islands it was on to San Juan, PR. Mom and I had decided when we booked the cruise at Christmas that we would do zip lining. We were hoping that she would get to do it on her 77th birthday but that didn't work out. She had to settle for the day before her birthday! We took a short bus ride to the rain forest and got geared up.
We probably should have thought this out better. Mom has bad knees, I am a smoker and the first hill about did us in. We weren't sure we were even going to get to do this. Straight up hill for maybe 200 yards?? We were quit pathetic. Once we conquered the first hill the rest wasn't as bad. I was so glad to see the first platform. I must say that I really sucked at zip lining!! I was really good at coming down, except when I started going head first instead of feet first, and when I couldn't stop, and when there were trees at the end of the line. Mom was awesome she did so much better than me but didn't take as good a picture!

After we did the zip lining we headed back to the ship and did some shopping. Found some cool clothes, saw some great sites and as I did in ever port I found jewelry!
