Bye Bye BVI
This is a top pick! ... ', a 500 year old monastery that was converted into a Hotel. I must admit that I was a bit worried about going back to Puerto Rico after our dreadful experience at the 'Intercontinental'. But when we arrived at 'El Convento' it was nothing but good. The ...
Early flight..
This is a top pick! ... was very friendly when they saw Linda carrying her wedding dress around, wishing us many babies :). It was a smooth 4 hour flight to Puerto Rico. We arrived at the Intercontinental, close to the airport. I am not going to say anything about this place as ...
A fortress defended by an army of mosquitoes.
This is a top pick! ... to annoy the King of Spain, and divert its resources to the Caribbean, away from Europe and Holland. But when they found Puerto Rico, it was infected with deceases and the defense of the fortress strong, they lost interest. The Dutch decided to rob and ...
big boat and the EPA
So three days ago (again I'm still trying to catch up here...) I met the captain and the first mate of the ship, BOLD. This isn't any old ship, but the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) larges scientific research vessel! We had a great time ...
Biking on Vieques
... to the beautiful island of Vieques! Me and Shane just took a three day biking trip to a small island off of the eastern coast of Puerto Rico. I rode my mountain bike, and Shane rode a single speed bike! He got one hell of a workout to say the least on ...
Day 23
Today was actually one of the more eventful days we've had aboard ship. We had a test in World Lit this morning; nothing special but still an event. I went out on deck and worked on tagging pictures after class, but then my battery died and I had to come ...
Days 51-53: Crossing the Mona Passage
... the passage could be done in about 30 hours; bad weather it's been known to take longer than 60. The trade winds coming over from Puerto Rico are almost always strong and out of the east or just north or south of east. Also thrown in the mix is a deep ...
Puerto del Rey, Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Our First day
We actually managed to make it to Villa Sevilla. It's a miracle considering the language barrier, the crazy drivers, the narrow streets, etc. After arriving this afternoon at the airport, we sat for a while waiting on our ride to ...
Weekend at Daniel and Vanessa´s
So, I broke another chain, something is up here. I have all new bearings but still I have problems, turns out the hub where rear sprocket sits has just got worn out from all the clanking around and probably the knackered bearings I was riding with in ...
SAA conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico
I took a short, five-day trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico to give a presentation at the annual meeting of The Society for American Archaeology. It was a quick trip but fun. The presentation went fine, and I attended several other interesting sessions. ...
Puerto Rico
... Puerto Rico or I should say adios since I was just outside watching us sail away from our first port! Quick fact about Puerto Rico: During the mid-1900's the United States government changed Puerto Rico to Porto Rico to make it easier for Americans to ...
Bloomin' Marvellous Bioluminescence
... Beachside kiosks that are bars, restaurants, eateries and souvenir shops. This also was a main tourist destination for seeing a bit of Puerto Rican life. Today it looked like a shanty town, there are around 75 kiosks and I reckon there was barely ten ...
Days 64-65: We're making more than 3 knots
So we decided to rent a car and go to San Juan ultimately to pick up Pete from the airport. We had all day wednesday and thursday and then he was landing thursday night. We had 2 days to kill with a car (air conditioning, much faster means of ...
Days 54-57: Boqueron to Ponce
... drag show going on. Check that off my bucket list. After 2 days in Boqueron it was time to push on. The south coast of Puerto Rico is fully exposed to swells from the Caribbean Sea and the trade winds are brutal to tack against once they pick up during ...
Day at Sea
... went back to the room to get ready for bed. Tomorrow is another day at sea. Note: We changed course today due to Hurricane Gustav. We are now going between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico instead of between Cuba and ...
Land - At last!
We arrived at San Juan, Puerto Rico on time. We disembarked without problem, right into Old San Juan. We walked, with the aid of some telephone calls to Fernando (Kudos for dealing with us by the way Fernando!) and found Raices on Calle Recinto Sur 315. ...
Stateside... well, sort of
... was back to Latin America…….. We elected to rent a car for these few days, mostly because the public transit in San Juan and Puerto Rico isn’t very good (ah yes, back in the USA!) So we picked up the car from ACE rental car, ...
Puerto Rico

San Juan
Puerto Rico
When the ship sailed into the harbor of San Juan, Puerto Rico it could only be described in one word: serene. I don't know if it was the early morning hour (7am) or the splashing of the waves on the side of the M/V Explorer as she led us into San Juan ...

The machete hike!
The machete hike is a hike offered to our guests at the rainforestinn.com It isn't the easiest hike, and after it rains it can be veeery slippery. You'd better bring some cloths that can get dirty, because they ...
Arriving in San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan was much more Americanized than I had imagined. While I was sure there would be all of the comforts of home if you looked hard enough, I didn't expect them to dominate the landscape as they did. We checked into the Condado Plaza ...
Isla Verde Beach
We arrived in San Juan at about 1:30am, but coming from Seattle--four hours time difference--we weren't all that tired. Our room has a great view of the crescent beach out to the east and of the airport to the south. The next morning we headed into ...
Puerto Rico
