San Juan Park Hotel

... Around 6 we went up to the room and shower and then went out in search for dinner. We weren't overly impressed with the food choices in the Isla Verde area your options pretty much consisted of overpriced resort food or fast food (taco bell, burger king, etc)<br>We settled on Chilli's, again, and had a quick bite there. The food bothers our stomachs this night so we headed to bed early...<br><br><br><br><br>

Our original intent today was to go explore Old San Juan, however when we woke up we decided that we needed to recoup from the previous night, so we decided to make it a pool day. We got ourselves ready for the pool and then made our way to Don Jose's, located on Ave. Isla Verde. Breakfast here was cheap and yummy! It was a great place to grab a "quick" bite, and I mean that ...

... Our departure time, 815AM, came and went without an announcement, so I walked up to ask. The gate agent said that the pilot had said to &#8216;hold-off&#8217; for a while due to the deluge still coming down&#8230;&#8230; ok, that makes sense, but how about an announcement? Strangely to us, nobody in the gate area seemed to care, or even notice! In the US, you&#8217;d have at least 15 people crowding the podium, worrying about missing ...

... had our second round of acupuncture yesterday. We are each doing four rounds. You can have them target all kinds of things from pain to quitting smoking etc. We are having them target back pain. The doctor has you lie face down and then inserts 15 to 20 small needles into various muscles along the back and legs and leaves them there for an hour. There is relaxation music playing in the background which tends to put me to sleep for the hour ...

... 10:00am to revisit Old San Juan. From the port, we grabbed a taxi, hola amigo, and off we went.<br><br>Having visited Old San Juan one week ago, it was a deja vu feeling. However, we enjoyed walking the cobblestone streets, viewing the houses with their Spanish architecture and stopping at various shops along the way. The people was always pleasant to talk with and ready to provide directions. Again, the weather was perfect ...

... place! We got to a beach. Neither of us had planned a bath in the sea for that day,thus I just went to put mylegs into it. It was wonderful. On a meadow in a park we saw an iguana (well, I think it was the one). In the eveing we got to the old town. Lots of pigeons, turists and an internet cafe. We stayed there for about 40 mins. I even managed to connect to my Mum via skype, but when it came totalking with her, I lost ...

... in his room. It's not paint, and it's not dust, so what is it, he asks me? I don't know what it is, sir. Well, let me give you a hint, he says. The people in the room next to me, they were doing something that bothered me. I'm allergic to it, it gets in my lungs and I get sick. What do you think they were doing? Drugs, I say. Yes, what kind of drugs? If I'm allergic to it, you don't shoot it in your arm, so what is it? Crack, I say. Yes, he replied, so ...

... war ships in the 17th century because it was so hard and can take a lot of hits. The king of Spain wouldn't let anyone export because he considered it a secret of war. They funniest one was when our guide, Guillermo, said: "you take the juice from this plant, you take it to a lab and ...you pay 25 million to go to the moon or you take this and BAM you already there, it's LSD." It was easy to see after the tour why Puerto Rico is responsible for ...

... La Puntilla, such as activities related to agriculture and surplus storage. At this point, all that remains clear is the obvious distinction in social class between these two sites. For whatever reason, La Tiza did not boast the higher social status that at least some of the La Puntilla residents enjoyed. Further investigation may elucidate the circumstances surrounding the lives of these early pioneers who planted the first sedentary roots at La Tiza that would continue to grow for another 1,500 years.

And so here I am!!!! at our first port in Puerto Rico. Been here for two days now and we're leaving tomorrow. It's beautiful here. I would never guess its winter time! So the boat is amazing and the people are just as great. Its sooo luxurious, spas, massage rooms, sauna's, tanning rooms, mani and pedi salon, maids for our rooms, I could go on and on. Surrounded by all these interesting, intellectual kids looking for adventure and trouble ;), just my kind of trip. Spent ...
