Culebra!

OMG, what is there to say about this island? Paradise, in a word.

 

Getting there was kind of nuts. Our first night we spent in San Juan at Casa Del Sol because our SW flight got cancelled. SJ near the airport was...a hotel near the airport. Nice, but nothing compared to our destination.

 

So we got to the island on Wednesday via our little puddle jumper plane. Scary, but oh so amazing. And then our six-seater plane somehow forgot our luggage. Things weren't starting out well. Luckily, the folks we were staying with at Mango Fish Guesthouse were amazing. While we waited for the next flight, Fred gave us a million dollar tour of the island. He showed us where to eat (Dinghy Dock! El Eden! Zacos Tacos) and where the quieter beaches are, as well as the more popular (Flamenco). He gave us some of their great local beer- Medallion- while we were on the ride, and by the time we got back to the airport I couldn't have cared less if our luggage had arrived. Which it had! Then we got to go explore our beautiful Casita.

It was so nice. We loved it!! Everything about it, except maybe for the fact that the ghetto neighbor chained up their dog in the backyard.
