As a Christmas present, I got tickets to Puerto Rico! We spent our first two nights in Old San Juan which is one of the best cities I have ever visited on vacation. There is so much to see and do and most of it is within walking distance so you don't need a car. The beautiful blue tiled streets, the sea wall, the colonial forts, the bakeries, the casinos, the list goes on! |

|  | La Selva On the third day, we rented a car and drove out to El Yunque rain forest. Amazing! The trees, the birds, the frogs, the waterfalls! It's really incredible to feel the rain on your face and get out into the wilderness after a few days in the big city. |
La Playa Last, and certainly not least, we visited some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in my entire life. El Luquillo just outside of San Juan, 7 Seas Beach and Las Croabas en Fajardo, and Sun Bay, Mosquito Bay, and some hidden beach on Vieques Island. | | | Sun Bay on Vieques Island |

Sheraton Old San Juan - It's nice to pamper yourself now and again...a book on a rooftop sounds really appealing! |
