ima45dv8 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 VERY nice video, but they showed so many pretty people, I'm afraid they might not let me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JQ- Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 PR is beautiful! I just got back from a mini-vacation there near Guanica...near Ponce (nemo-town). We flew into San Juan and drove to Guanica (2-3hours)...driving is a bit...interesting. There seems to be no fast lane, no slow lane...just lanes...do what you like. This was our second trip in two years and it is addictive. We pretty much covered the whole SW corner of the island...and of course The Cabo Rojo lighthouse area...we even passed an out door range...GF said only YOU could spot such a thing in paradise...I'll try to get a couple pics up. Of course the local were complaining about the cold weather...70+...it was 15 at home...loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The first time I was there was a long time ago at the former Roosevelt Roads Naval Station on the Eastern end of the island. I thought the place was great! It was mid summer and I experienced my first bad tropical sunburn there!. I had suncreen on except for a small part of my mid-back. I went skin diving off the end of runway 24 for about 2-3 hours and wound up with this ~4" diameter welt that felt like someone took a soldering iron to it. The water was crystal clear (at least it was that day). Muy Bueno! Despues, Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got to enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Med Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The first time I took my Irish-Polish wife to PR the one thing that she was most struck by was the complete absence of racial tension. She grew up in a very segregated area of the midwest. In Puerto Rico there are no black people, or white people or brown people on the island. Everybody is just Puerto Rican and happy to meet you. Great place. Thanks for the video Nemo. Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Niner Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Not only is Puerto Rico the home of such famous (or is it infamous) celebrities like Nemo, it is also the home of Condom World. I love their motto - "We protect the universe." Edited March 15, 2008 by XD Niner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Looks like a wonderful place. I have a question for the natives though. Since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, do you need a passport to get into the U.S.? Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, right? I've never know how the whole system works for those countries like the U.S. Virgin Islands or (I think) Guam or American Samoa or Puerto Rico. Weird question I know but I've always wondered.

Merlin Orr Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I very vaguely remember the two weeks I spent in PR a few years ago. Lots of things a fellow can find to occupy his time there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I remember seeing a commercial several years ago with Raul Julia I think and I thought how beautiful the place looked. At the time, I use to scuba dive & play golf so it seemed like a good fit. Someday I go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to go back for much more. +1 on the DonQ JQ Doesn't make me homesick. We're going in two weeks. First one look like Guanica or La Parguera. Second one is the Cabo Rojo lighthouse and, although it looks a lot like the church at La Parguera, I'm not sure where it is. Where is it? Glad you liked the DonQ, Jax!
