** Headed to PUERTO RICO TOMORROW! Any tips/advice? **

[syxth element]

Yo bruce,

Those bio bay pics are def exaggerated, but once you get into the secluded water, any movement in the water triggers a light response. My guide was cool, he let us swim in the water even though you're not supposed to. You can see fish swimming below because you see a quick beam of light travel through here and there. Strap up for sure, I'm sure Frenchie's isn't the only spot

.

Check out the rainforest like the guy said above, I didn't know about it last time.

Rain Forest is in Rio Grande, but right next to the border of Rio Grande/Luquillo, so, whatever.

Bacardi Factory in Cata~o.
El Morro and Old San Juan.
Bio Bay.
Clubs, women, drinking, etc, etc, etc.

Shopping = Plaza Las Americas
Frenchie's is more of a "cathouse" than a strip club.
DO NOT GO INTO LA PERLA. TRUST ME.

If you need a driver, send me a PM.

But seriously, if you need help or anything while you're down here, let me know, I live about 15 minutes from the airport and 20 from pretty much everything worth doing.

[el Chief]

Restaurants: Raices for traditional food, Pinones (it's an entire area near the beach) for good, cheap, and quick food. Watch out for iguana meat.

Strip club: I've never been, but I hear Lips is very good.

Bars: Walk around Old San Juan, lots of good bars around. The best bar is Shannan's pub in Guaynabo (not a tourist area), try and go with friends.

Beach: The beaches around your hotel will probably be decent or good, go to Ocean Park, probably the best beach in the metro area.
The best beach on the island is Playa Sucia in Cabo Rojo, but it is 3 hours outside of San Juan. It is well worth the trip, it will be the prettiest beach you will ever see, but it is small, and there aren't a lot of people around (no vendors, lifeguards, etc.).

Women: Easy, be funny, don't seem too uptight, be a little flashy but not too much. Women here are strict with the way men look, if they aren't into black guys, white guys, yuppy looking, surfer look, etc. they wont' make an exception for you.

Any other questions, just try and ask.

^ Try and do that, but if you are by yourself it might suck, try and stay a two or three days, real relax, mostly all about the beach there though (second best in Puerto Rico)

I plan on making the most of my vacation so I'll definitely be up early and out late.

I'll keep Culebra in mind. 

Iguana Meat at Pi~ones 

Iguana meat?

This I gotta try. 

See if you have long lost family over there, hit up your cousins, smash their guts out, profit!

Thanks for the advice... I'm certainly going to be hitting up the cathouse since that's pretty much what I'm looking for.

Also that Bacardi factory tour sounds cool... and I hear it's free which is definitely a plus! Also, I assume "la perla" is some kind of neighborhood I should be keeping away from?

 

Restaurants: Raices for traditional food, Pinones (it's an entire area near the beach) for good, cheap, and quick food. Watch out for iguana meat.

Yeah, I'm looking for some good ol' fashioned traditional PR food so I'm definitely adding that to the list.

Ok... I surf and skate and people can usually tell that about me from my demeanor and appearance so hopefully the chicks will dig it... if not there's always the brothels.

 

If you need a driver, send me a PM. 

 But seriously, if you need help or anything while you're down here, let me know, I live about 15 minutes from the airport and 20 from pretty much everything worth doing.

Thanks bro... I appreciate it. Maybe I'll hit u up and we'll grab a beer or something?! Always nice to meet NT friends. 

what airport are you flying into?

I'll be flying into SJU (San Juan Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport)

Nice... that looks like hella fun I'm definitely gonna check that out too. I've been ATV'ing a few times and it's always been a blast!

My guide was cool, he let us swim in the water even though you're not supposed to. You can see fish swimming below because you see a quick beam of light travel through here and there.

.

Yeah I figured they must be photoshopped or something... but by the way you described it it sounds like something I've gotta see.

 

Thanks again for all the suggestions guys... you've been a tremendous help! Keep 'em coming if you have more suggestions!!

I'm going in 2 weeks also, but Im only in San Juan for 1 night, leaving the next day on a Royal Caribbean cruise. Any suggestions if I only have 1 night?
