The trip to Puerto Rico

The day began in high spirits, not to be dampened by the sprinkles of rain. However, by the time we arrived at BWI, severe weather had closed the airports in Philadelphia, NY, and other East Coast spots. During our wait time, we tried to find possible alternates to San Juan, but all seats on several airlines were booked for the next day.

We made it to Philly, only to have mechanical failure and then legal issues with the pilot's number of hours further delay our departure. While talking with three people seated near me once we got on the plane, I found that two of them were going to PR to leave on cruises. That could help explain all the booked seats. San Juan is the second busiest port on the Atlantic, after New York, including the departure and arrival of cruise ships.

We finally arrived, four hours late, but still looking forward to our time here in San Juan at the University of the Sacred Heart--the Universidad del Sagrado Corazon.
