As a newbie boricua, I will try to describe this island from new eyes and give some helpful tips.  First of all, one of my reasons for moving here was to learn Spanish. Unfortunately (or fortunately), most locals especially in the metropolitan area speaks English. If you find yourself in the s…

Today is our last day and I want to hike down the beach. My friend Lisa and I made this hike (in the rain) when I was here a few years ago, and I liked the undeveloped ruggedness of the beach and trail. Steve and I are lucky to have a sunshine escort, and the walk is just as nice as I remember. Alo…

Photo from our 2 weeks on the BEAUTIFUL island of Puerto Rico.

3 days in Puerto Rico and a day at St. Thomas

-Lovely people -The majority are mix and they have the best of both worlds (black and white) -I don't even need to describe the island and its beauty, right? -If you love to relax/party that's the place for you

There are no direct flights to St Thomas from Connecticut, so we had to spend about an hour in Puerto Rico, enough time for us to have lunch at the Domino's Pizza in the San Juan Airport.  The pizza was expensive, but good!   We spent our layover calling and texting friends to alert …

We went to Naguabo, a town in the eastern part of the island for lunch and relaxation. We found a restaurant called Punta Lima, close to the beach. It specializes in sea food, so we ordered conch salad (ensalada de carrucho), shrimp gumbo (asopao de camarones) with mofongo, and mofongo with octopus…

 I am going to start my big vacation adventure. I wanted to go to Machu Pichu and my wife wanted a cruise. She like cruises, so we are going to go to Peru and visit Lima, Cusco and Machu Pichu, and then take our sixth cruise. We will embark on Callao, stop in Guayaquil and Manta Ecuador, cross…

In San juan there is park that we call paseo lineal.  It is used by people that want to exercise, and usually it takes my wife and me an hour to walk it both ways.  A friend of mine does it in 40 minutes, I guess i do not walk to fast...Any way it goes thru the lagoon/mangroves and you ca…

As a somewhat inexperienced traveler, I don't have a huge amount to write about here. However, I thought I'd share a few of the photos I took on my summer cruise to San Juan, St. Thomas, Tortola, and Grand Turk, many of which came out very pretty if I do say so myself! Hope you enjoy! ;-)

Even though there are no waves or hardly any at this beach it's still one of my favorites on this island. You can actually swim out far without having to fear not being able to get back. Like every other beach that I went to there was hardly anyone there. Except the life guards. haha The water is w…

Six day getaway for New Years Eve plus sightseeing. Had a great time and we were lucky with the weather too!

My second TB Meetup, first time in the carribean, second time meeting Frank, first time traveling with Jason and also being stuck in a car with him for 5 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina to Institute, West Virginia, first time meeting Mark, Yadi, Nancy, Enrico and his wife Lilia, second time ri…

The next day we arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico which was a quick jump from St. Thomas. We arrived at 8:00am and where on the “Island of Enchantment” until 3:00pm. Puerto Rico being my home land brings back memories of me growing up and lots of pride. My partner never visiting Puerto Rico was …

My boyfriend and I took a fantastic trip to Puerto Rico this spring break. We flew into the southern part of PR and rented a car from there. We drove to the north-eastern part of the island and hiked in the jungle, El Yunque, then beach-hopped all down the west coast of the island. It's an amazingly beautiful place!
