I would wind up here amongst other places......

The Streets were PACKED!! It was ash wednsday and 4 huge cruise ships were in dock.... it took my driver forever to get there...but get there we did.

I had 3 shipped home

Alright....

ive booked a 6 hour Private tour guide/driver. I have asked to be taken to the "Pork Highway" for the best roasted pork on the island, a bakery that has the best Pastelillo de Guayaba, and visit the hat shop Olé.

hows that????

Funny cuz that's just what I recommended.

Hope it works out for you.

Barrachina - Birthplace of the Original Piña Colada

Here's where the Pina Colada was invented.

Not very far to walk from the square in Old San Juan.

Glad you had a good time.

Ever since you wrote that you were going, I've been reminiscing and wanting to go back. We're taking an extended trip to France so going back to the Caribbean will have to wait. Maybe we'll go at xmas.

So, post some photos, huh?

Don't get to use to it. It's VERY fattening.

I have experience of this place but area itself is a high end area so prices will tend to be above average. Still we have places where you can eat economically and its all foods and specially clothes are in comfortable price...
