From there it was on to the hotel. We checked in quickly and went to check out our room. It has a really nice view of the ocean from the balcony, and even out there Kristi and I were shocked by how humid it was in Puerto Rico - the temperature wasn't too bad, but the humidity made it feel worse. Our hotel, the Courtyard Marriot Isla Verde (or something along those lines) was right on the beach, complete with a pool with swim up bar and four different restaurants, as well as a casino. It was the perfect place to stay!
We checked out the beach, going in the water - which we both agreed was SO much nicer than New York. You could actually SWIM in the ocean there without feeling like you were getting coated in some sort of sludge!
After settling in and showering, Frances met up with us again and we headed to a casino in another hotel to play the slots a bit. I only lost about $10 total, which was good - should've quite while I was ahead though, because I could've turned my $25 into about $45 had I stopped playing!
Done with the casino, we headed out to dinner at Lupi's, a Mexican restaurant. Frances' friend joined us for the trip. We had some drinks and some food, and then headed back to the hotel for some well-needed rest.
