Pedro spent the last day at Farm Bureau Convention. Beautiful sunny day. Late afternoon flight. First flight from San Juan was delayed on the runway. Barely made connection in Chicago. Running through the airport. Kasie had a mishap while we were gone. She was at home and has decided that she made a painful mistake. Going to have some hardware for this repair. Ouch! ... read more

A warm sunny windy day. Breakfast at Pannes. The power went out, but never fear...a Generac generator is in the back. Was it made in Berlin Wisconsin? It kicked on in less that 30 seconds and within minutes the T.V.'s and all of point of sales stations had rebooted. After breakfast we spent some time back at the pool. The sun hits the pool area in the morning and early afternoon. Late afternoon the pool is in the shade. It is nice that it is in the shade if it is really warm in the afternoon. We walked to the east today to explore. Our beach area is mostly rocky with only a small area of sand. The nice sandy beaches are to the east. We walked on the beach until we decided it was time ... read more

Another beautiful day in San Juan. Coffee and breakfast at local restaurant. Another hike today. A bit shorter than the hike yesterday. We went around the Condado Lagoon. Some fun old style houses and mix of new in the neighborhoods. Lunch at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse. Relaxation at the pool after lunch. We went down the road to another hotel restaurant for dinner tonight. Fancier place, so signed up for reservation on line. Wandered through to see the rest of the hotel and looked at the pools and hot tub and the bar areas and public areas. We were outside for our seating for dinner. We had our drinks and ordered our dinner. Suddenly it went from a beautiful warm night on the deck to wind storm with chairs blowing and rain. We quickly grabbed ... read more

We have arrived at our destination of Puerto Rico. We had driven to Appleton on the 31st so we did not have to drive early on New Year's Day for our 5:30 flight. Icy roads on the way and one car upside down in the ditch. We traveled slowly and cautiously and after dinner checked in to our hotel. We were up at 3 to be at the airport 2 hours before the flight. We got to the airport as scheduled, but unfortunately staff did not arrive to start the check in process until 4:30. Of course, this is Appleton. One flight leaving at 5:30. We were the 4th group to check in. The guy had a problem with Pedro's booking. Seems the booking was under Pete and the passport says Peter. Gave us a warning ... read more
