LA, yep his eyes will be bulging and his head swiveling all around, taking it all in. LOL. Oh, and he will be ready to parteee!

With a lineup like this, you don't need my dates, KC. The appropriate authorities will be well alert without them.

We're counting the days...and "sleeps" til we get down to SP 11/26!! Unfortunately have to be back at work (ugh...awful word!) 12/2!!! Looking forward to sun, sand, beautiful water, and all that AC always provides!!!

just got back home on july 14th, and am rebooked for nov. 12-24, after a week in culebra, puerto rico...can't wait! anybody ever been to culebra???first time for me...

Yes, when I was a teenager. Puerto Rico is a beautiful Island. Culebra, if my memory serves correctly was very beautiful at the time. Try to visit Old San Juan if you have time. Wear light clothing for sure. If you are able to visit Old San Juan try to see Calle Del Cristo, I use to work on that street many moons ago. Use to have lunch in the "Parque de las Palomas" next to the small Capilla at the end of the street. Have a camera ready for some great shots. We got back from our vacation from Old San Juan the end of March and actually rented an apartment right smack in the middle of Old San Juan on Calle Luna. It was great. The weather was beautiful. You can PM me if you have any questions about P.R..
I am Puertorican, but most of my life I've lived in the USA. Oh, up that street is were "The flying Nun" series with Sally Fields was filmed. Maybe for lunch you can find a place that serves a sandwich called "La Tripleta". It is much better that the Cuban sandwiches by far.

We did a week on Culebra a few years ago. Stayed in a rickety old building on Flamenco Beach. Beautiful beach, and other than the accomodations, we had fun. the most fun was being taken by boat out to a little island for the day (they dropped us off and picked us up). the snorkeling there was fantastic and the beach was beautiful. On the whole, enjoyable vaca. We were a bit out of the way, so we had to drive for all food, some good restaurants, small but tasty. Not a lot to do other than beaching. Sightseeing could all be done in a day. A really quaint little island with beautiful beaches. We flew directly out of San Juan on a Caravan to Culebra, and the scenery on that flight would rival the flight to SP. Landing on Culebra is a hoot, you come in between two large hills, drop quickly while makinga 40 degree turn to catch the landing strip.
We did end up staying 3 days in Old San Juan on the return. Toured the fort and generally just walked around. Great sights, great food. We previously had spent time in Rincon too, and we really enjoy PR.

Kerry, Culebra is a wonderful place. I have spent many weeks there and considered buying there before finally buying in AC. We used to anchor behind the reef on the East side (Ensenada Honda) of the Island and sometimes off the town on the West side. Great diving. There is a smaller Island to the East, Culebrita, which is a National Park. Great diving and beach there also. The only problem as I saw it was that it is a very small Island it you are going to be there for a while. We would sometimes take the Ferry back to Fajerdo to do shopping and to break up our stays.

Most of the tourist go to a beach in the Northwest corner that I've been to a few times and it was nice. My fondest memories where going to the church in town. They really made quite a time out of the mass. Also, having an Easter egg hunt off the boat for the kids. They would jump in to retrieve the eggs. Mail and communications was easy, restrauants where OK. Boy I love the Caribbean.

Chachacoconut, PR is a very beautiful Island. I've had a lot of fun there and met a lot of great locals. We stayed mostly at the San Juan YC. Drank many a Corona there. Anyway, we rented cars quite often and traveled all over the Island.

Deep fried pork and mafungo probably took several years off my life. PR is one of the most under rated Islands in the Caribbean. It is a great place.

In the meantime back to AC. Sorry if we wandered off topic.

thanx for all the input on culebra...sounds like i picked the right place...my plane arrives at sju at 2 pm, so i don't think i have time to do the ferry...airlines that fly from sju to culebra??? sorry to have hi jacked this thread...anyone with any info on this feel free to pm me...thanx

Kerry, check out Air Flamenco. I seem to remember flying a Caravan, but their fleet looks like it has upgraded a bit to twin engines. We flew directly out of San Juan, and it was just our party of four on the plane.
