The Oh!:The alarm rang really early, but I managed to get up. Well, I was thinking it's 5:30am, so I had plenty of time to go to the airport and catch my 7:20am flight. Flying between Puerto Rico and the USA is like a domestic flight, so... Anyway, I was just brushing my teeth, when I heard Francis…

I enjoyed a jam-packed 3-day Puerto Rico Meetup. Highlights included: strolling Old San Juan, clubbing & salsa dancing, discovering Rio Camuy Cave Park & underground river, enjoying tasty, traditional cuisine & mofongo, trying several one-of-a-kind ice creams, touring Bacardi Rum grounds, singing karoke, horseback riding, seeing El Yunque National Rainforest, having perfect weather all 3 days & hanging with wonderful old & new pals.

Every vacation must come to an end. We were off to the airport at 10:30am and got there very quickly. Enid saw us off. Check in went quick. I set off the security alarm with either my sun glasses or my necklace, took them off and was cleared. lol Then we turned the wrong way after the security chec…

We departed Vieques early Wednesday afternoon and returned back to San Juan.  I had called our next resort to arrange for a pick-up at the airport and learned the charge would be $60 per person round trip (damn taxi union), so we opted to rent a car.  Our resort, the Wyndham Rio Mar, w…

Apparently when you go to Puerto Rico you are supposed to book a hotel and transportation in advance. Being the procastinator that I am, my sister and I arrived in Aguadilla thinking we would travel by bus to Rincon for the night. In Puerto Rico, there is no cross-island bus service and no "bu…

Having fun around Puerto Rico

When I travel, there are only two significant things in my list: Book a flight and Rent a car. I don’t worry much of where to sleep, as long as I have a car that can take me anywhere. I’m good to go. Finding a hotel is less important to me. Besides, I can always find one while driving around an…

A great trip filled with great diving, hikes, beaches and friends!

On that saturday my wife had to go to work, and she didn't want to drive so I went with her.  While she worked I took some pictures of the University of Puerto Rico at Humacao.  I took a lot of the fountain and then went to search for birds.  It was before I got me the new lens so I …

Enroute from San Juan back to Orlando we passed over the chain of Bahama Islands.  Looking out the window seat was I so surprised to see aqua water and islands emerging into view!  Each island seemed more beautiful than the next and the water was so clear that I could see the land for…

After two and a half days sail from New York, we reached our first destination, Puerto Rico. At 2:00 p.m. the northern coast of Puerto Rico coud be sighted on the horizon directly ahead. Carnival Miracle was headed straight in. A crowd formed on deck as the San Juan skyline became more di…

Not much exciting here.  Stopped a little on the drive back to San Juan to perhaps buy something, which didn't happen.  We also saw some large iguanas and struggled to find a gas station.  Good times.

My wife had to work again in some presentations and we stayed at the Rio Mar Hotel. It is located in Rio Grande and from there you can see El Yunque, which is the Tropical Rain forest. The hotel facilities are very nice and the beach was great. Again you will see nature pictures, I can not stop tak…

We spent yesterday in eastern Puerto Rico. Our guide Joe took us up into the rainforest of El Yunque, where we walked along a beautiful track following a tropical stream over the rapids and waterfalls. Afterwards we spent the afternoon on the beach at Playa Luquillo, our last chance to soak up Cari…
