Puerto Rico 2023

Early AM gym visit again. Worked out with Jeff, Emelia and Arin Miller   I ate breakfast with Brooke at OATS but Margo and Shaina had breakfast at Las Brisas Courtyard Cafe.  We spent the day at Palamino Island.  We ate lunch on PI at the outside cafe.   We spent the day on the beach with the Millers.  Shaina and Brooke worked out late and we went to dinner at the Ballyhoo Bar and Grill Restaurant (on the local Marina at the Resort).  The food was pretty good, but they ran out of chocolate dessert. The Eagles played the Giants at The Linc and it was a (far too) close game.  The Birds eventually eked out a victory. We had a drink with the Miller's before dinner and the waiter messed up the type of rum we wanted.  The drink was pretty good anyway.  Margo had a Mojito and Emilia has a vodka drink.

  Awakening at 7:30 to get a workout.   Went to the O.A.T.S. Cafe for and Açaí bowl and a coffee. Delicious.  Açaí sorbet, bananas, strawberries, coconut milk After a quick shower, we went to the pool.  Pool was nice and weather was great.  Before dinner, enjoyed a drink with Emilia and Jeff Miller in the Brese Bar/Lounge during happy hour. Because it was Xmas eve, we ate at the resort. 

Travel day from Detroit to San Juan.   Cold and rainy to start the day in Detroit.  Flight to SJ was uneventful. Watched movies, listened to podcasts and relaxed.  After arriving, rented a car and drove to El Conquistador. It took about 1 hour from the airport to the resort.  We arrived very hungry around 5 pm. Had a snack of calzone and salad.  After freshening up, Mike tried a rum (Ron Zacapa) After dinner (Brisas Courtyard Cafe) and an ice cream 😉we went to bed early.
