At Last, a Post!

I admit it, I'm a bad blogger. Even when I have something to post about, something fun and exciting, I still forget. Go ahead and ready the wet noodles, I know I deserve it.

One problem being that I have suffered a brain fart and have forgotten how to get the pictures off the camera and onto where I want them. Don't worry, it's just the brain worms. I'll go ahead and write something up and edit with pictures later. I know all two of you want to see beautiful Old San Juan, right?

Speaking of Puerto Rico...!

I'll spare you the account of sitting in a nearly empty airport first thing in the morning, and then sitting on a couple a very full planes for a few hours and skip right to the good stuff. Well, it would be the good stuff except we were staying at this golf resort miles out of town. Remember here, we are there for a conference for Hubs work, this is not a vacation that we planned for ourselves, nor one that we would have planned (the resort part). We are not resort people, I don't think I can stress this enough, not resort people. So we're miles out of town surrounded by "Them". Granted the resort is nice, and is right on the beach, and free, I'm not complaining. But it was Boring! Hubs was in meeting all morning the first two days, leaving me, and all the other guests, at a loose end. When I go on vacation I go to see and do, not do the same crap I do at home. I can sit on my butt and read at home.

However...!

In the afternoon we were provided the option of guided tours, which we gladly accepted. Monday we went to see El Yunque rainforest. Ok, this is more my speed.

We boarded the bus after lunch and it was at this point that we met our guide. I'll call her "M", because I don't want to post anyone's name without permission.

The rainforest was beautiful and fascinating and very very green, as you will see once I have defeated the brain worms. There are rabid mongooses there. No really. They brought in mongooses to control the snakes and now they themselves are pests and are rabid for a bit of extra spiciness. We didn't encounter any. Is it odd that I am disappointed to have missed the rabid mongoose?

M was a great deal of fun to have as a tour guide, she is one of those people who don't stop moving or talking. Not hyper, just going. And she gets excited about snails, squealing excited. More on her later.

After far too short a visit to El Yunque it's back on the bus and back to the Land of Boring. Ah well, next afternoon we visited Old San Juan. And I will leave you here, Reader, and will return after I figure this picture thing out. I've done this before, I know how, I'm too young for Alzheimer's so it's gotta be brain worms.

To be continued...
