Brrr! It's cold outside. I really do love this time of the year, and all the festivities that come with the holiday season. Eventually though (usually around mid February) I will tire of bundling up in layers of clothes, scarves and gloves in an attempt to stay warm. I will be dreaming of leaving the cold behind and visiting some place tropical and warm like Puerto Rico. After all, the new year is just days away so it's time to start thinking about 2014 travel destinations. 2014 would be a great year to visit Puerto Rico!
Why Visit Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico is a 5-star vacation destination filled with world-class attractions and has activities for everyone in the family. The best part is you don't even need a passport and don't have to worry about currency exchange! Just hop on a plane and go! It's just that easy!
If you want to kick back and relax on the beach (yes please!), Puerto Rico has you covered with over 270 miles of the most beautiful coastline and stunning vistas. They say that Puerto Rican beaches are a must see! The little island of Puerto Rico has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and is featured in Travel Channel’s Top 10 Beaches. Live your own 5-star vacation story in Puerto Rico.
When I visit Peurto Rico, the following activities will be on my short list:
– Glow like an angel in the water in the Bioluminescent bays.
– Visit the only rainforest under US national park service, El Yunque, and climb to the clouds.
– Take in some local history and enjoy old world charm of San Juan.
– A horse back ride on the magnificent Camuy caverns that runs through the 3rd largest subterranean river in the world.
– Foodies can experience the delicacies of Puerto Rico and it’s famous Rums.
– Explore the coastline –including Flamenco Beach in Culebra, which is often cited as one of the best beaches in the world!
This is the stuff dreams are made of! Whether you’re a golfer, foodie, adventurer, or a beach bum, Puerto Rico has everything that you want in a nice relaxing vacation.

I liked SeePuertoRico on Facebook. I am interested in everything! I particularly to walk thru town and experience life from the street. I want to experience bio-luminescence. And food! I want to try all types of food. Plus, I want to speak nothing but Spanish so I can keep those skilled honed (although I understand most of the people speak English).
I would LOVE to go to Puerto Rico and stay at the Parador MaunaCaribe. While in Toro Verde I would most definitely go Zip Lining on La Bestia. It’s been one of the items in my bucket list. I’d also love to give a try at Rapelling while there. I love the beach, so I would spend plenty of time walking on the beach, wading in the water, soaking in the rays, and sipping fine, local rum cocktails. Adventure and relaxation. Can’t get much better than that! And to know that I don’t even need a Passport nor to worry about currency exchange – I am SO there! Think I found the best birthday gift for myself!

I vacationed in Puerto Rico a few years ago and would absolutely love to go again. I recommend it to everybody. It was absolutely beautiful. I loved walking along the beach. Eating the local food. It was delicious. And walking around night and day. Old San Juan was nice with cobblestone streets. The local bus was way cheap and great transportation instead of paying for a taxi. I would just love to go again. I have always said I wanted to! 2014 would be great!
El Yunque is amazing. I love puerto rico; went there as a child and would go back in a heartbeat

My husband and I are newlyweds. A few years ago before we were married we saw bio-luminescence in the Cayman Islands. My husband went absolutely nuts. He loved it and said he felt like he was in Avatar. I couldn’t get him out of the water – even though there were tons of jellyfish in the sea! He said he felt the risk of the jellyfish was worth it to experience the magical light show that he was creating with his movement in the water.
The bio-luminescence in Puerto Rico is supposed to be the best in the world. I would love to take my husband to see it and see the excitement in his face!!
