You are lounging, drink in hand on the long, sun-drenched deck of a giant cruise ship as it glides through the sapphire ocean below. You just left the colorful port of Miami and are on due course to San Juan, Puerto Rico. You just made some great new friends at breakfast and are looking forward to a feast of top-notch cuisine, more new friends, and endless talk of… Dentistry?
Yes! This is real. If you ever thought that continuing education needs to be boring, think again. You can vacation AND get your dental continuing education in Toronto, all while exchanging the latest best practices, swap patient stories, and take in lectures on the latest in implant technology and periodontal treatment by Dr. David Chvartszaid.
If that’s not enough, here are some exciting things to look forward to on this beautiful cruise around the Eastern Caribbean.
Explore the streets of Old San Juan
A magical detour from the mainland of Puerto Rico, San Juan island boasts charming shops, restaurants and historic sites like the magnificent Paseo de La Princesa, La Fortaleza and Cathedral of San Juan Bautista. This town is known for its vibrant colors, unique architecture and delicious street food. You are free to roam, as a free trolley is available to serve tourists all day.
Relax, Hike, or Get Lucky in Philipsburg, St. Maarten
If you’re looking to relax by the shores, learn about the lush natural landscape of this island, or try your luck with some gambling, Philipsburg offers many opportunities. Close to the cruise terminal is the beach at Great Bay, which offers not just beautiful water and sand but also a bustling boardwalk and nearby duty-free shopping on Front Street.
The sprawling, lush property of Loterie Farm offers an educational, adventurous getaway. This shut-down plantation features a guided 2-mile hike through the forest as well as the Fly Zone and Fly Zone Extreme, two challenge courses complete with zipping lines. You can also seek your fortune at several popular casinos including the Casino Royale located in downtown Philipsburg.
St. Kitts
Rich in history, the volcanic island of St. Kitts was once a central port of slave trade and the site where the famous pirate William Kidd was once marooned when his crew mutinied. The island boasts dense tropical rainforests, which you can explore through easily accessed trails. There, you’ll find the dense trees swinging with playful green vervet monkeys, as well as exotic lizards, mongoose, and hummingbirds. The island’s capital of Basseterre offers shops, dining, and entertainment a-plenty amidst historic French-style architecture.
These are just a few things you can do on this Caribbean Dental CE seminar in Toronto. All aboard!
