It was somewhat unfortunate that the cruise ship I was on docked in San Juan of Puerto Rico at 6.30pm and was scheduled to leave at midnight. That left few hours to explore and, to make it worse, in the dark and drizzling rain. Never one to be deterred by any circumstances, I walked off the ship as fast as I could manage and, seeing, that the dock was very close

In the last year, I had an opportunity to visit a lot of places on four different continents. How lucky is that?

Right now, I want to focus on a specific part of my trip. The place where I laid my head, had breakfast, dinner, enjoyed some great San Juan skylines and used as my hub for

This week I had the pleasure of visiting the most shocking vacation spot I have seen in ages, San Juan, Puerto Rico. It’s shocking in a good way. Why don’t more people know about this fantastic island? I am not sure, but as a West Coast native, I never even hear about folks traveling to San Juan. While I plan to offer more on this gem in future writings and
