Puerto Rico - Luquillo

 








We packed the night before, so we were all ready to disembark.  Choosing to self-assist and being right next to the gangway, we were surprised to be the third party off the ship.  We hailed the first taxi and were at the airport before mist of the rest of the ship disembarked.  Even though our pick-up time was 10am, we were able to get our car by 8am.   Unfortunately, as soon as we left the lot, we notice a low tire pressure light; so we turned around and were quickly given another car.  Then it was off to Starbucks, Goodwill and TJ max.  Our apartment in the beach town of Luquillo was not available until 4pm, so we tootled around the vicinity until check-in.  Our apartment is right on the beach, with the bulkhead 20 ft from our balcony,  The rocky shore ensures a perpetual sound of waves crashing.  The immediate vicinity of the apartment is somewhat sketchy with a lot of run down homes; but 100 yards down the beach and across the shallow lagoon, there are multiple five star resorts and miles of sandy beach.  We took a 3 mile sunset beach walk and ate dinner at a local hamburger bar.  The evening was spent on the balcony catching up with whats been happening in the world since we were without Wifi for a week.
