June 2012 Weddings

Honeymoon to Puerto Rico!!!

Finally, we booked flights to Puerto Rico. We still don't have rooms booked because we are planning on going to 4-5 different cities, and we haven't exactly planned that all out yet. We are flying into San Juan the day after the wedding and staying 2 nights (probably). Then to El Yunque National Forest (zip lining, etc). Then to Vieques Island and going on a night canoe ride/swim in the Bioluminescent Bay (amazing...google it!). Then we might go to Ponce (if we can fit it). Then to Rincon, for surfing and beach bumming! And then back to San Juan for a night, and leaving the next day. (About an 8 night stay). We have hotels in mind for each city, so we just need to set it in stone once we know what days we're going to be where. We wanted to find somewhere that was relatively cheap to fly to, since we wanted to stay in BA hotels/resorts. Haha! I'm just glad we actually have flights now, and we finally know where we are going!! It's been stressing us out! Has anyone been to PR? How was it? Where did you go?

Re: Honeymoon to Puerto Rico!!!

  • LOVE Puerto Rico!!

    FI and I got engaged there last April and loved it so much that we went back in June. We stayed in the Condado district right outside of OSJ. Things we did include:

    -A lot of exploring on our own of Old San Juan. There are so many cool places and people.
    -El Yunque (twice). Did a half day tour the 1st time and decided to go back the 2nd time on our own.
    -Biobay..yeah it's really cool
    -We did a catamaran snorkeling tour and that was probably 1 of my favorite things we did. A ton of fun!
    -the Forts---El Morro and San Cristobal. We skipped this the first time and I am so glad we made the time to do it the 2nd time. They are beautiful and so historic.
    -Beaches! We had one at our hotel and also went to the big one in Condado.

    Honestly some of our favorite parts of our trips was when we just went off exploring on our own. The food is unbeatable..if you need some restaurant recs I'd love to help out. Don't be afraid to "wander off the beaten path".  OSJ during the day & during the night are totally different places. Also same goes for the weekend. Go out on a Friday/Saturday night.

    You should be pumped! We are still planning our HM and FI said yesterday "We really messed up by going to PR first because now we're going to be disappointed by everywhere else" lol. Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • Awesome!! I went there with my college swim team in 2008 and it was AMAZING!! By far the coolest things was the Bioluminescent bay though. Wish we could have brought cameras to take pictures because describing the experience just doesn't do it justice. If I could do anything again in my life, it would be to bring FI there! It's just breathtaking!
