Blog: Two Backpackers - 8 June 2011

Ponce de Leon – Damn Deadly Vagabond
Blog: Vagobond.com - 23 April 2011
It might be pushing it to call Ponce de Leon a vagabond since he was a career soldier, but in terms of dreams and adventure, certainly he fits the bill as someone who not only traveled broadly, but was foolish enough to chase the fountain of youth.

Blog: Have Baby Will Travel - 17 August 2010
As our dinner party agreed one night, there’s not much that doesn’t benefit from being deep fried. Case in point: the plantain.

Puerto Rican fare is hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kinda food [...]

Food Review: La Bombonera and Barrachina in San Juan, Puerto Rico!
Blog: Living the Dream: RTW - 1 April 2010
Our time in the Caribbean was accomplished through the cruise industry by sailing on the Carnival Victory on a 7 night cruise departing from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Since our days at the respective ports were action packed through prebooked excursions, we hardly had time to eat at any local restaurants, much to my chagrin. Luckily, however, we had two full days in San Juan before and after the cruise in order to see the sites which required us to eat at multiple locations along the way. Being good little tourists we had to make a stop at the most famous two: La Bombonera

Vieques – Small Island Life
Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 21 October 2009
Vieques is an island-municipality of Puerto Rico located six miles east of the main island of Puerto Rico. For over sixty years the island was closed off and used as a major U.S. naval base. As a result, the island remained undeveloped for tourism. Now its key attraction, the sleepy, unspoiled island with its deserted beaches, is rapidly becoming a popular destination. Much of the island is now part of the U.S. Park Service. The U.S. Park Service maintains the dirt roads that lead to isolated beaches with crystal-clear, blue ...
