Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted January 19 Author #32 Share Posted January 19 Uber was about $20+ tip. It was super fast and easy. It was only about 10 minutes to Condado Ocean Club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted January 19 Author #36 Share Posted January 19 Found a starbucks a short walk away. Added San Juan to our “Been There” series coffee mug collection. Current situation: drinking coffee in a shady spot watching waves crash. Temps are ideal right now. Mid 70s in the shade with a light ocean breeze. Pretty hard to beat this. Ill try to upload a short video. IMG_1549.mov 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted January 19 Author #37 Share Posted January 19 Did some exploring/shopping. Lots of stuff in walking distance. Walgreens and CVS are a 6 minute walk( in the opposite direction of the Starbucks) so we could grab some last minute items pre cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted January 19 Author #40 Share Posted January 19 Here’s some more sights from exploration time. Beach/lounge time coming up after lunch. Resisted the urge to feed the feral cats. DW wanted to get them cat food at the Walgreens. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted January 19 Author #47 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Definitely not used to the heat. The sun from exploration time wore me out more than I knew. Had a nice little afternoon nap after late lunch. After that, DW and I took a walk on the beach, sat and watched the waves crash for a bit and headed up to the hotel bar - S OC IAL. We used our 2 free welcome drinks on Pina Coladas. Very tasty. I am trying a local craft brew Blonde Ale from Ocean Lab Brewing. It’s very good. Light but not too light and fizzy. Great warm weather beer. One thing I noticed is the alcohol volume is a range. I am used to the ABV on the being a single number. This can has 4.8-6.8% alc. vol. Thats a pretty decent swing there. Maybe the ol’ google machine can solve this 🤔🧐🤔 Edited January 19 by SteelCityCruiser10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted January 19 Author #48 Share Posted January 19 Plan for dinner is to order DoorDash or room service later. We had a late lunch and don’t feel like walking anymore. We are hanging out in the room re- situating the luggage for boarding day & enjoying our bevies. I plan to setup an Uber pickup tonight for 10:30am. I expect heavy traffic in the port area and don’t mind being early for our noon boarding time. Maybe we can get on earlier? Side note: It seems that I developed a bit of a blister on my forefoot from my sandals. Luckily I noticed before we made it to walgreens so should it break open and feel worse I can cover it with the cushioned blister bandages we bought there. Being chronic overpackers we actually already had a few of those type bandages but likely not enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted January 19 #49 Share Posted January 19 Going from winter into the heat of San Juan can definitely wear you out. Mornings are nice but afternoons when those blue cobblestones in old San Juan heat up they radiate the heat back up at you. But, I'd rather be there than here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted January 20 #50 Share Posted January 20 Hi Mark, wish I did stowaway in your luggage. We finished shoveling 3 driveways (1 was ours) after work. Had something like 6 to 7 inches of snow here in PA. Really looking forward to your photos to warm up. Enjoy😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
