Puerto Rico!

Once the wedding fun was over, we switched to the Intercontinental in San Juan. We had some reward points so we decided to extend our trip until Tuesday afternoon.
Heading out in the Jeep

A room with a view
We'd stayed at this hotel before and loved it. We got a room with a great view and hit the pool almost immediately. We vacillated between the pool area and the beach and just enjoyed the sun.
Beach walking
The hotel is right on the beach so we enjoyed some strolls out there. While the hotel is not all inclusive, we kind of made it that way. Puerto Rico has not recovered from the hurricane as much as we'd expected so it was just easier to hang out in the small area around the hotel. We returned the Jeep early once we figured out that we'd be staying put and just soaked in the sun and sand. It was really nice to kick back after a busy couple of weeks.
A lovely local breakfast
One change is that our favorite part of this hotel was its breakfast and after the hurricane that restaurant was unable to reopen. The second morning we improvised and hit a small local cafe for an excellent breakfast. We stayed by the pool until we absolutely had to head to the airport then caught our flight back to the mainland. It was likely our last trip to Puerto Rico for a bit, but it was still nice to visit.
