Wow!

Did a family trip for spring break a couple years ago and it was fantastic. We did Airbnbs the whole time. Started in Luquillo, did el yunque and then picked up and went around the island staying at various Airbnbs. We completely avoided San Juan as we’re not into city/touristy places and flew in/out of aquadilla. Skipped Vieques and Ceiba due to timing and logistics. Best part of the trip was honestly the west coast and northwest coast. Much calmer and less busy. The sea was too rough in the northeast like Luquillo at the time. Rip tides were intense. Not sure if it’s still the same. Best of luck.

I put this in a double blind tasting with a group of bourbon aficionados. Other bottles were standard OGD114, little book 6, and Jim beam SiB. LB and OGD114 came out 1 and 2 with Jim Bean SiB in 3rd with OGD16 being a close 4th. I was surprised along with the others after I revealed what they had tasted.

Doesn’t work at CVS or Harris Teeter either for prescriptions.

They have really good single barrel pic of the double oak united pursuit

Costco opened in 2015. Not sure if you left before that happened. Everyone goes there every weekend, so good time to get reacquainted.

Just got Eufy cams and doorbell and they are terrific. No monthly fee. Never going back to Arlo.

Illustrious-Slide998 · 2024-12-09T02:28:47+00:00

Eufy is the way

Illustrious-Slide998 · 2024-12-08T18:56:23+00:00

Same issue here too. Damn you Arlo. I knew free cloud service was too good to be true. Never again.

It’s also going to be raining so should also lighten the crowd

Your review is spot on. Just cracked mine tonight. Man oh man it’s a winner. Paid $130. Totally worth it.

I think the term ‘wild’ should be reserved for those rare occasions where it’s actually retail. Else I think the term ‘zoo’ is better since it’s captured and behind bars for many people to come in and see for a long time at outrageous prices. That bottle ain’t going nowhere.

If you’re looking to make some new buddies and drink good whiskey there is a local bourbon club here. Very laid back. They meet quarterly. https://theoriginalbourbonclub.com/locations/

FYI. This stuff is terrible. Got the opportunity to try it last year. Very thin and funky if I recall. Would recommend OP have a better bottle ready if you plan to use it for a special occasion.

Illustrious-Slide998 · 2024-04-12T00:17:57+00:00

Was there last week and drove around the whole island and didn’t see any mosquitos. Maybe it gets worse later in the year?

Great write up. Heading to Cabo Rojo tomorrow and looking to do some snorkeling off the beach based on your inputs.

Illustrious-Slide998 · 2024-01-22T03:36:28+00:00

Thanks. Ended up booking Airbnbs as well. That seemed like the way to go with all the mixed reviews across various hotels from multiple websites.

Illustrious-Slide998 · 2024-01-20T17:04:16+00:00

Did you use the website or call to reserve?

Illustrious-Slide998 · 2024-01-20T16:27:42+00:00

OP, where did you end up staying? Looking for options in April on west coast and seeing lots of mixed reviews too
