Puerto Rico has got to be one of my favorite trips. Not only did we make the right choice by staying an extra day this time, but we also booked our stay at....you guessed it....The Ritz Carlton Puerto Rico. The accommodations were incredible. Il Mulino, BLT Steak, Salsa Dancing and Yankees. We were enjoying our evening celebrating OUR Valentine's Day. (Alex was going to be away in the Bahamas on the actual day so we had to improvise) I took Alex to Il Mulino to enjoy the most delicious Italian...the block of cheese never disappoints. After we had finished up our meals, we decided to go to listen to some salsa music in the lobby. One of Alex's favorite parts of the evening....He will tell you that he secretly thinks he is Spanish. Of Spain descent...not South American. As we were sipping cocktails and listening to the music, we decided to call it a night. As we were walking to the elevator, someone approached us and said, "Did you see Derek Jeter in the casino?" (we had heard they were there at the pool earlier) "NO!" I screamed with a bold smile on my face..."he's in the casino all the way down and to the left sitting at a table," I made a decision to sprint out of the elevator in my stilettos and made my way to the casino. I just wanted to do a lap and see him once. Alex held my hand and let me do my thing...I walked down the hall, owned the area and made a loop. There was Derek, Jorge Posada and her....Minka Kelly...aka girl giving me the stink eye. Alright, I was trying to steal her man, but it wasn't for real...it was only in my head what did she have to worry about?
Regardless, I made my loop and then left. It was great seeing the worlds greatest baseball team in the flesh!
All in all, my favorite trip and one of my favorite Ritz Carlton's!
