Culebra

So we are finally on our way to a week in the Caribbean. We loved our vacation last summer in West Texas on the Frio River. The main reason was how we had our portion of the river all to ourselves. For a 'last big vacation before Cam goes off to college', we thought we'd try something less close to home and somewhere very few people we know have gone.

The place I found is Culebra. Culebra is a tiny island off the east end of Puerto Rico. It boasts some of the best beaches in the world, very few visitors, and lots of locals that speak English.

We flew into San Juan and had a driver take us to Fajardo where there are ferries to Culebra and Vieques. The ferry ride from the 'big island' to Culebra was pretty choppy to say the least. This is Lisa while she was still smiling.
We got to Culebra around 8:15pm.

The streets around the town roll up at sundown so it was quite an experience figuring it all out. We had reserved a vehicle and it took a while for the owner to show up. We all piled in and then waited for the lady to show up and take us to the house.

It all worked out and we settled in after a long day that started at 6:00am and ended around 9:00pm. Many thanks to Katie who rode with us to the airport and drove the van home. She also went back and checked on a straightener that was thought to have been left on as well as putting thermostadts on vacation mode. Thanks Katie!
