While the many soujourns visiting family in Jersey this year have physically gotten us out of town, calling them "vacations" pushes the boundaries of the word. After dilly-dallying about what to do with our first mutual spring break in four years, I finally convinced Chris that there's more to do than lay on the sand in Puerto Rico. Yesterday we booked our flight, reserved places to stay in San Juan and Vieques, and bought a Lonely Planet guide, knowing that Chris loves to read those, and no matter how ambivalent he is about a trip, looking through the LP always gets him excited. Plus going to Vieques will give us the chance to shake our fists at the naval base there, albeit about a year too late.
At the moment we're most looking forward to hiking in the rain forest and snorkeling in the bioluminescent bay off Vieques.
Anyone out there who's been to PR - please post advice on where to go and what to do!
Posted by jessica at February 15, 2004 11:56 AMSorry, never been to Puerto Rico but my sisters and our significant others are planning a trip together next year and PR is one of the possible destinations. You'll have to tell me all about it!
If you don't mind me asking, how much were the plane tickets?
Posted by: Vanessa at February 16, 2004 11:36 AMwe got an incredible deal - $236 round trip from NYC - on american, considering it's spring break and less than 1 month in advance. i'm told american has the most frequent flights to san juan and often has good fares.
