Day 3 – 5 VISA MIAMI!
Things are going much smoother! We were camped out at the Brazilian Consulate by 5:30 am Monday morning. The consulate was extremely kind and helped all 120 of us who showed up to get visa’s quickly. We picked them up by noon on Tuesday and had plenty of time to catch a 6 pm flight to Barbados. We stayed at the Casa Grande in St. Philip (see pics). We didn’t get to enjoy the island much because Carnival arrived at 7:15 am to transfer us to the ship. We will all have to wait until November to learn more about Dominica and Barbados when we return on a cruise out of San Juan.

After a great night of five star dining, some dancing and being gently rocked to sleep by the waves, we are now officially LOVING the cruise. The next three days are sea days and crossing the Equator on our way to Fortaleza, Brazil.
