We're Flying To The Caribbean

This is I think a well deserved get-away. I wrote about being undecided (here), whether to push through or not with this planned trip after my friend passed away. I realized, it will be useless to cancel this planned vacation, which is by the way one of the birthday presents I got from my husband for my birthday last February. Remember this entry right on this blog before? Now, Yen, Girlie, Kaje, Nyree and Suzanne, as promised I’m unveiling one of the unwrapped gifts. We’re headed to Puerto Rico for seven days.

In the meantime, I’m leaving you some facts about Puerto Rico as lifted from lonelyplanet.com

A bustling island whose shiny consumerism rubs up against an unspoiled interior.

Puerto Rico is where four centuries of Spanish Caribbean culture comes face to face with the American convenience store. This leads to some strange juxtapositions – parking lots and plazas, freeways and fountains, skyscrapers and shanties – but it’s all apiece with the Caribbean’s hybrid history.

Travellers who venture into the island’s mountainous interior or explore its undeveloped coasts come across stately hill towns where the locals in the plaza seem to have been feeding the same pigeons for decades, and reefs where divers can see 30 species of fish in as many seconds.
