Medicinal marijuana by Sybil456
Hi, My husband and I are coming to Old SJ for a few weeks in January. My husband has a serious disease and uses medical marijuana, which is legal here in NY. However, we know we cannot safely transport it to PR. So, my question - first, is med. ...
Hi, Thanks so much for your response. I agree -- trying to smuggle it is not worth the chance. I realize it could take a bit of time. We'll be there for 2.5 weeks. If anyone knows of a doctor we could contact now, my husband could ... Read More

Is the govt trying to limit rentals (airbnb) to 30 days or more? by Sybil456
Hello all, I thought I saw a notice to this effect on the facebook forum. So I just wanted to find out if this was true or not. I find this very distressing, tho I live in NYC and the government here is against airbnb (tho of course people ...
I certainly hope it doesn't pass. It's a bad law. It's an issue in NYC also but I think it is very mean-spirited, b/c short terms rentals can be a real help to enable people to remain in their homes. I personally am not interested in ... Read More

Are there any chamber music players in Old San Juan? by Sybil456
We are coming down for the month of January. I am an intermediate viola player and would love to meet other chamber music players who might want to get together. Please let me know!

I see. But I thought it was a recent post. And someone sent me an email address (which didn't work), but I assumed that was the viola person. And I think I made a mistake and thought you were the viola player - sorry! Sharon Read More
