My partner and I spent most of our Christmas + New Years’ holiday vacation exploring the island of Puerto Rico.
She had been there briefly many years ago; it was completely new to me.
We hope you enjoy following along as we recount our adventures!
It was going to be a long day in any case. But when our 2am flight from San Juan became a 4:30am flight, there was no longer a direct flight available for us from Newark to Seattle. So … we took the long(er) way home.
This morning, we said goodbye to the treehouse and started our journey home. We had a full day to spend on the island, so we spent our lunch time in the southern coastal city of Ponce and then made our way to the very northeast corner of the island for a night-time bioluminescent kayak tour before heading back to the airport.
Happy New Year! Today, we drove down to the southwesternmost point of Puerto Rico to see Cabo Rojo and its lighthouse, Faro Los Morrillos.
We left Salinas this morning and drove through the mountains to the town of Utuado and then on to a most amazing treehouse near San Germán, where we will spend the last two evenings of our trip.
We are staying again in Salinas. What to do with the day in between? Do we go east or do we go west? A coin toss decided it and we explored the coast to the east of us.
We left San Juan this morning, rented a car, and explored the tropical rain forest in El Yunque National Forest.
Today we walked through the old city and its historic forts.
Having spent our first two days of acclimating and relaxing on the beach, we’ve now moved on to the historic district of Old San Juan.
This evening, we walked among the colorful streets and then to the Paseo del Morro, a trail along the edge of Castillo San Felipe del Morro.
So excited to start my first major vacation in … yeah, that long … and to share it with fellow travel aficionado and sweetheart Lisa Rozmyn.
