Well, I'm back from San Juan. And trying really hard to Wish myself back there.
The first day we got in and walked for about two hours down the beach to a nice restaurant, and then went to bed early since we had woken up at 5am. The only problem was that our room was only 2 floors directly above the live "san juan music", and it felt like our room was smack dab in the middle of the 9:30 club. The next morning we requested a room change. To our surprise we got moved to the club level suite with a ocean view and a sleep number bed and two luxurious rooms. I like sleep number 35 while Peter likes 45 but generally didn't seem to care anyway.
The next major thing we Did was go on a tour of the Bacardi factory. It was pretty cool, and came with two free drinks each, so i got to try the Bacardi flavors I had been wanting to try :) The factory is on this beautiful estate thing that you have to take a boat to get to so its really beautiful.
We then Rented a car and drove to the El Yunque rain forest. I figured we'd drive around and stop and get out and walk for like 15 minutes and then drive on...peter had another idea, and since Bacardi factory was what i chose, i felt like i should do what he wanted to do on this day...so we drove to one of the first stops. Got out, and Hiked up a 2 mile hill for 2 hours (very steep and rocky) and then hiked back down another 2 hours. My legs are still tired today. I must say, It was beautiful for most of the hike. Until the clouds rolled in and it rained. When we reached the summit it was so cloudy we could only see 10 ft in front of us. Thats ok b/c it was kinda cool to get rained on in the rain forest.
We spent the remainder of our trip split between the beach, shopping in old san juan, exploring the forts in old san juan, The Casinos, and sipping on pina coladas :)
It was an amazing vacation, and I'm sad to be back...and very burnt i might add.
