getting away with friends for a few days to Puerto Rico..into the nightlife, beaches, sights and sounds of the beautiful island..first time for us all..suggestions for those who only have a few days there?[/b]
I&#39;ve only been once but if I went again I would not stay in SJU like we did. It&#39;s expensive and not so nice. Check out the Fort and old areas of SJU but then venture out. Google "paradors". They are a system of local hotels kind of like B&Bs. They&#39;re more local and not like an american chain hotel. I think they&#39;re government sponsored.

Definitely hike in the rain forest. That was cool.

I&#39;d like to go over to Ponce. It&#39;s on the Caribbean side. SJU is Atlantic. If I couldn&#39;t make it all the way over to Ponce, I would check out ferry&#39;s over to Veiques or Culebra, smaller islands off the coast.
