PUERTO RICO: Saturday, July 30, 2005

[…]Mexican places and lots of shops (who comes to Old San Juan to go to POLO?!), but nothing offering Puerto Rican food. While the girls went to pee, Rob & Drew were approached by a homeless man with a forearm that was open and infected from wrist to elbow. He […]

PUERTO RICO: Friday, July 29, 2005

[…]   Drew quickly learned that driving in Puerto Rico is crazy and that driving behind Doug in Puerto Rico was suicidal. We got significantly lost owing, in part, to the ironically-named NeverLost system installed in Doug’s van.        We finally arrived at the tuxedo shop at 1:15pm, hungry […]

START HERE: PUERTO RICO: Thursday, July 28, 2005

[…]speaker elicited no response. This is when we learned that my cell phone service does not work in Puerto Rico. The only signal I could get connected me with a Spanish recording which was saying something about my credit card, but didn’t actually let me place a call. Now it […]

Ten on Tuesday: 10 Things You Want to Do in 2009

[…]As I write this, I am in month #8. Travel! I’d love to get back to Las Vegas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Germany, Dominican Republic. I’d love to get to California, France, Florida (Disney, specifically), and, well, just about anywhere else! Finally kill my old stupid debt, once and for all. […]

PUERTO RICO: Sunday, July 31, 2005

[…]you hit Route 22. Overall, the roads were consistent with the notion that the infrastructure in Puerto Rico is the best in the Caribbean. However, judging from the number of auto body and tire shops we saw, there must be crummy roads lurking somewhere.        The route we […]

PUERTO RICO: Tuesday, August 2, 2005

[…]side-trip to nearby Cabo Rojo lighthouse. He provided some great hand-drawn maps for us (great in Puerto Rican terms), which we display below for your viewing enjoyment.     Getting the tuxedo back to the shop was uneventful, and from there we started picking our way toward Cabo Rojo despite […]

9 Layers of Drew Vogel

[…]thing. Believe in yourself: Yes. Get motion sickness: Only once — on a dive boat in Puerto Rico and I only threw up a little, in my mouth. Think you’re attractive: Yes. A little softer in the middle than I’d like to be, but yes. Think you’re a health freak: […]

PUERTO RICO: Saturday, July 30, 2005 — The Wedding

[…]songs, sung by male & female singers and backed up by a nice full band. Interestingly, Puerto Ricans started dancing the moment the live music started and barely stopped all night!        Dinner wasn’t served until 10:30 — we were extremely hungry by then (Wendy & Rob had […]

PUERTO RICO: Monday, August 1, 2005

On Monday morning, we rose at 7:00am, checked in at the dive shop, and sat down on the patio for a waffle (Drew) and pancake (Wendy) breakfast. The plates came out with waffles/pancakes only. Nothing else. It was warm and decent for eating pre-dive. We were joined by Orlando, a […]

PUERTO RICO: Wednesday, August 3, 2005

Wednesday morning was the same breakfast, only this time with the addition of buttered bread and (unexplicably) french fries. We were joined at breakfast by Klaus (a German drummer) and Laura (a clown — no really!). They were diving with us this morning. The rest of the divers arrived, and […]

Punta Canta: MONDAY OCTOBER 21, 2002 or Getting There is Just Part of the Fun

[…]flight toward Punta Cana. We flew over many small, uninhabited islands, over the Bahamas, and past Puerto Plata on the north side. As we flew over Haiti, we found it to be far larger than we’d expected though it seemed to be empty except for the mountains in the center […]
