"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

Feb. 4 - San Juan, PR

Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport. – Unknown

This was our first time to fly in three years. I'm happy to say everything went smoothly. It's nice to fly in the morning, the airport is less crowded and our plane was waiting for us. The only thing that could have gone smoother was our car rental. Oh my we won't use Payless in San Juan again. All I can say is I'm glad we stayed close to the airport this evening. 

We spent our first night in Puerto Rico in a posh neighborhood of Carolina called Isla Verde. This award-winning beach area is popular among visitors, because it's close to the airport and full of fancy beach resorts. Isla Verde has golden-sand shores that are framed with tall palm trees, hotels, restaurants, and shops. It might be a great place for some to spend their whole holiday, but we look forward to getting out of the city and seeing more of the real Puerto Rico.

After checking into our apartment we went for a walk on the beach. It was nice to enjoy a rum drink and pizza with our toes in the sand.
It was a little cloudy this evening, but we still enjoyed waking on the beach.
And having dinner with a view at Ocean Breeze.
