Travel Escape — Puerto Rico
Alternative to Hawaii or Maldives
This is a photo post about a recent vacation to Puerto Rico. Mountains, beaches, historical forts, and spectacular weather. Kids and family to make lovely memories!
Alternative to Hawaii:
In reality, we did consider Hawaii but it is too far (12+ hours on a plane) and too tedious with a 5-month old. Should have done it sans kids, but never mind. This one popped up because we had a low-cost regional airline start direct routes with fares that were cheaper than a night in NYC! So we made it a combo trip with multiple goals - wedding anniversary, beat the winter snowy blues, Baby’s first flight, cousins trip!
As the gorgeous pix below will show, the greenery and weather were truly breathtaking and validated our decision at a fraction of the cost!
Some hits, some misses:
We missed out the opportunity to kayak / view the Bioluminescent Bay. It’s a rare tourism adventure and a highlight for the state but the weather Gods simply did not cooperate. We reached the island with plans to do in turns (kids under 6 are not allowed)…
