The trip is over, Corona is empty. Sigh.
It was a great week. I'll get into more detail once I get in front of a computer. posting from my phone is kind of a pain.

Also, I want to get the pictures Amanda took with her camera.

Great time with my hunny.

Not on a par with AC. But whatever. .. it's still fun.
It looks like you guys had a great time. I cant wait to here more about it and see more pics!

After two days of exhaustively comparing the resorts and their reviews, I decide on the Intercontinental at Isla Verde. At first, I was trying to choose between La Concha and the Marriot where you stayed, but I think we are going to like the pool and beach more at the Intercontinental. Plus, it looks like it might have a more comfy room (a couch with a coffee table). Who knows, though, internet searching is sometimes a crapshoot. There were so may variables to juggle that I nearly pulled my hair out. I get really OCD about this...lol. I mean REALLY. Even though all I really want is a nice relaxing pool/beach with drinks vacation, it looks like I am not going to be able to resist a few outings. Old San Juan is a must and so is the rain forest. Im also thinking of doing the bio bay thing at night....there supposed to be very little moon when we are there.

I wish we had thought to rent a scooter when we were in old San Juan.

the coqui frog. We thought it was birds until the guy from the ATV tour told us about them. I recorded this on the street outside our hotel that night.
