Puerto Rico Vacation Pics

[Eracer]

No golf, but I thought I'd share some pics of last week's trip to Puerto Rico. Went there to help a friend who lives in San Juan celebrate her birthday.

The view out the condo deck:



The terrace on top of the condo:



My friend flashing a bus full of prisoners. They were going nuts:



Old San Juan:



San Juan Cruise Terminal:



Where's Waldo?



Here Kitty...



Love the hat...



Boqueron Lighthouse - SW corner of the island. Beautiful place:



Here's a photo of the lighthouse:



A very isolated and beautiful beach right next to the lighthouse:



Another view from the cliffs next to the lighthouse:



Bahia Salinas Resort. Two miles from the lighthouse. Very cool place. Here's a nice dinner view:



Here you can see the lighthouse in the distance (center of the frame):



The infinity pool at the resort:



My friend Melanie. VT, do you recognize her from Billy's refrigerator?



Another nice dinner view:



A beautiful Puerto Rico sunset:


All in all it was an excellent trip. Old San Juan is great. But the star of the show was the Bahia Salinas resort. Tucked away on the water in the middle of nowhere. Defines "getaway" since there's absolutely nothing to do within 10 miles of the place. Very peaceful, elegant and a very good restaurant. We found the place by accident, and I plan on going there again.

Very nice! I'm still not sure I'd want to live there year-round, but it sure does look like a nice place to visit.

No GOLF? Were you having a fever with that fit? And btw, you took that one picture from the wrong side of your friend !!!!

Perverts!

No time for golf. Too much tequila, not enough sleep.

No golf and went there with a "friend"? I suppose you'll be getting married one of these days too, just like R35, Jeff and others.

I'm sure Grand Forks would be a better place to live year round...-19 below last weekend...

Well I guess that opinion MAYBE should be allowed LOL

We will see what John Colbert will have to say about that. I'll submit the question.

I flew there for $191.00 (included all taxes and fees). Round-trip non-stop from Tampa to San Juan. On a real plane and everything! I thought it was a smokin' deal.

I wouldn't say that PR is heaven, but it has some nice places. Like Doc said, "nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there."

Great Pictures Eracer!!! My wife was actually thinking she may have to go to Puerto Rico as her company does some business out that way. Although it was supposed to be later this week, that fell through and she is in Atlanta. Interestingly enough as a result we will be down in Orlando the first week in March. We setup for the weekend through Tuesday for a golf package through the Marriott and will be playing Grande Pines and Hawks landing Saturday thru Monday as a twosome (hopefully O.K. courses, but since we had little time to plan it seemed good), then playing with people from her work on Tuesday. Then Tuesday thru Friday we will be at the Peabody and I will likely be searching for a round on my own as she will be with her work.

Not sure if any of that would fit into your schedule or Tim's?? We already set up times for the first 3 days as a twosome, Tuesday is likely out, but Wednesday and Thursday should be open for just me. Let me know if you guys are available, and sorry for the short notice should it not work out. Seems like I just missed a chance at the April outing.

I do like the hat Eraser.
