Review summary

It was wonderful to experience blue skies, green, 85 degree days, warm water, flowers and azure water after leaving the brown and gray landscape of Md. This is a great time to see the change because when we returned 8 days later, there actually were some touches of spring beginning although at this moment, it is snowing.

Went on private tour of city. Favorite thing was after leaving 20 degree temps, great to eat dinner outside on the patio in the evening of the Sheraton Old San Juan which is by the water.
