Welcome to Puerto Rico!
Work Travelling - the best type of travelling!
In winter 2000, I went to Puerto Rico with 5 colleagues from Warner-Lambert Consumer Healthcare (now Pfizer CHC) to visit one of our manufacturing plants. Of course, as it is cheaper to fly over the weekend -- we all decided that it would be fun to arrive on Friday... for a Tuesday-Wednesday meeting. With some spare time to kill, we visited San Juan, the capital, with its impressive historic fortress, the caverns of Camuy, and of course,... the beach!! It was a great trip... I even got to drive around in a rented car on the surprisingly well-paved roads (U.S. colony!)!

BEST MEMORIES FROM PUERTO RICO
- Looking around at all the parked car mirors, they were for some reason either banged up pretty bad or ripped off altogether! If I had a car, this would be the last place I brought it to! ;c)
- Gorgeous sunsets and beautiful soft-sand beaches
- Pastel-coloured Buildings, with Iron Bars over the Windows
FAVOURITE FOODS / DRINKS IN PUERTO RICO
- Monfongo (a plaintain mash) with lobster
