To stroll the colorful streets of Old San Juan.
To sip piña coladas on the beach at sunset.
To spend time alone with Himself.
For the Mallorca and quiet breakfasts in the courtyard of our guest house.
To try new foods like Mofongo Relleno de Churrasco, or mashed green plantains stuffed with skirt steak…
and a Frita Cubana.
To count pigeons.
To enjoy the locals.
To lay on the beach, listen to the waves, and feel the sunshine on my face.
To Recharge. Refresh. Recreate. Reboot. ReRobin.
A huge thanks to Ma and Dad for watching the three littles so that Himself and I could escape!

I am going to Puerto Rico for the first time in March for my cousin's wedding. You just got me very excited:-)
sure looks warm
Perfect post! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself. I've been to Pamela's – it's very nice! Where did you eat the mofongo with skirt steak?
Foodalogue- The mofongo was at Inca Chicken. Very good food there and packed with locals. Highly recommended by everyone whom we asked, "where is the good food?"
I love that you "could re Robin".
A fantastic escape I am sure. And that food. Holy cannoli. I bet three people could eat that sandwich. Dang, it all looks so good.
Anyplace tropical, with lots of sunshine, cool breezes, little drinks with umbrellas in them, and the sounds of seagulls & ocean surf. Which is really weird since I both grew up and live in a beach town with all those things already! Guess I like what is familiar to me, just someplace else LOL!
Good for you and himself.
Did you go to bio-luminous bay? We loved going there and seeing the beauty of the moon and sparkling water.
Sounds like you had a fun time! I am green with envy though. I want to go anywhere warm today with the impending "snow-pocalypse".
They all sound like good reasons to me. Aren't grandparents great?
Sounds positively wonderful. How lucky to escape this cold icy weather and lounge on a warm beach.
Ahhh . . . Robin Sue. Perfect vacation. Perfect post. Glad you had fun. Love the picture of Himself and your toes.
Ahhh, I feel relaxed just by your description. Hope you had a wonderful time, how special for you to getaway with hubby too.
