Vacation #2 for 2004
This vacation was a cruise with Joey and Melissa, Jimmy, Nick, Joey's frien Tom Nardi, a friend of his and I. We flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico and got the Carnival Ship there. We headed to St. Thomas, Domenica (NOT the Dominican Republic), Barbados and Aruba.
We all had such a blast. It was centered around Joey and Melissa's 1st Wedding Anniversary and we partied and partied !!
Here are some of the highlights:
 This is a picture of our ship, Carnival Destiny, in the port of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
 Our first formal night on the ship.
 This is the ocean on the desert side of Aruba.
 Here's my handsome son, Joey, and I at the natural bridge in Aruba.
 This is me and my beautiful daughter-in-law, Melissa, by the ocean in Aruba.
 Me standing by the Barbados welcome sign.
 Me diving in Barbados.
 Me and my two boys, Joey and Nick, in front of Riise Drug store in downtown Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. This is the EXACT drug store that my Dad had gone to some 70 years earlier. It was very sentimental for the next two generations to walk the same steps that he did.
You will not see any pictures of Puerto Rico here......San Juan is a sewer !!!! Dangerous, filthy and full of very, very nasty and pushy people. I hate it there !!
BUT....we all had a great time and that's what mattered. My family was together and loved every minute !!
