Hotel near airport in San Juan by TravelingJ
When we fly to PR our flight lands after 9 p.m. Can anyone recommend a clean and economical hotel close to the airport? Any favorites that won't break the bank? It will only be for one night.
There's a hotel right in the airport with relatively low rates that's used mostly by folks with either late arriving or early departing flights. The convenience of this is that you won't need any transportation, and you will be within ... Read More
New airline flying to PR by frogrock
Hi gang, I wanted to spread some good news for those of you who travel between Puerto Rico and New York. I just read in Newsday online that National Airlines will have flights from Islip McArthur to San Juan and Aguadilla, starting July 1. Carroll
Hi Tonie, We'll be staying on the east side of the island, so leaving from SJU is our best way to go. We'll most likely take Southwest to Islip with a stop/switch in Baltimore. We live a mere ten minutes away from ISP and would much ... Read More

I just tried to book a flight on National from SJU to ISP and that option did not pop up. Further investigation revealed that they were delaying the service because they did not yet have planes for this route. I hope they will get it together by ... Read More

Moving to PR by ReyP
Well we gave up on the Ceiba house we were planing to purchase. The plan was to sell some stocks and use the money to buy the house cash. However there were a lot of delays (since July) due to the seller realtor and a problem with the land ...
Quite a while ago Frogrock said she couldn't find them. I sent her some for Christmas. Perhaps now that the stores all have their Easter candy out, she may be able to find them at Walmart or Walgreens, since they are traditionally an Easter ... Read More

Fishing in PR by Sitka
Here is a thread for the fishermen and fisherwomen to post your info, stories and lies. We are soon to arrive in northern PR and love to fish, both fresh water and salt. At first will look at some of the bass fishing in the fresh water lakes or ...
When fishing off shore it's important to be careful about the kind of fish you catch for eating. Certain reef fish can cause ciguatera, a food poisoning caused by toxins the fish pick up on the coral, seaweed or algae they eat. Read More
Puerto Rican Christmas by Schuttzie
I just read an article that is very heartwarming about what some traditions were like PR at Christmas time. http://www.elboricua.com/pr_christmas.html
Thanks everyone. We haven't begun making the coquito yet, but it's on our list to be ready by Christmas Eve. We are not in Puerto Rico yet, so no Supermax, Dora. I actually think it will be more fun to make at home than buying pre-made. ... Read More
