December 17 - 18, 2013. Fajardo.


Our flight from Atlanta to San Juan was uneventful, probably because we has prepaid for early boarding, which on Southwest Airlines is highly recommended because there is no assigned seating. Extra legroom was great to have on a 3 1/2 hour flight aboard a full plane. 

Upon arrival at the airport we picked up our rental car and drove 45 minutes to our condo in Fajardo. This two story condo is part of a large, secure complex with several pools, tennis court and fitness room. It features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and a balcony view of the water. 

Sleep followed a delicious meal at a local restaurant. In the morning we headed for the beach. The water was warm, the sun was bright and the beach almost deserted. Time at the beach was followed by a dip in the waterslide pool. 

The rest of the day was spent grocery shopping and sightseeing. The downtown area looks almost like a ghost town with many shops boarded up. It looks like the few bigger stores on the main highway have lured shoppers away from the downtown area.  A stop at an ice cream shop completed our day.

Tomorrow, maybe more of the same...I certainly hope so!
