San Juan Puerto Rico
 
Amanda and I are going there next week.
Marriott and the Sellaris Casino.

Anyone been there?

Only on the tarmac on the way to St. Thomas. It should be nice though. They have that old town castle thing.

Accuweather says it's gonna feel like 102-ish.

I hope neither of you wilts in the humidity like I do. I would be suffering.

Hope you have a good time, though.

i never believe the weather report past 3 days. I don't enjoy humidity, but if I'm up to my neck in a pool or blue sea water.....I don't think I'll mind. I just hope it's not rainy.

If you go snorkeling, get an underwater housing for your go pro camera. Were you the one who had a go pro?

jimhelm 08-13-2013 01:15 PM

no, but Amanda got a cool underwater bag-thing for the Nikon coolpix I got her for Christmas. It has a little screw on lens cover that makes room for zooming. pretty neat.

BigV 08-13-2013 03:23 PM

a reservoir tip to accommodate her camera's... extension? Screw on cover indeed.

Passport isn't need for travel to Puerto Rico, right? I may just completely change my travel plans for this September for there instead. How's the weather?

lumberjim 08-19-2013 06:23 PM

Right. It's hot and humid as balls. But fuck it. I'm on vacation. I'm wearing shorts. The hotel and casino are air conditioned. The ocean is warm, the pool hot. It's all good. You need to be a morning person here though. All the activities start early. I think we are jet skiing tomorrow.

Looks gorgeous. More pics, please!! (When you get the chance ...)

Was there about 35 or so years ago. We stayed at the El San Juan. Are you going to take the tour of the rum factory?

I remember the trip to the El Morro fortress. Parts of it were crumbling into the sea back then. I'm surprised it's still standing.
