Weekend Getaway ~ Puerto Rico

View onto the beach from the pool

I don't have any deep or meaningful things to say about my surprise girls weekend in Puerto Rico but I wanted to share a few of my pictures. As you might imagine it was divine to escape for a few days and soak up the sun, cocktails and all the girl talk I could fit into the sixty-three hours I was there. 

It would have been longer but I spent 15 hours in the airport or on a plane on Friday. My morning flight on USAir was cancelled and as there were no other flights, they put me on a Delta flight through Atlanta. I was irritated at first but I have to say it was the BEST thing to happen to me. Not only did I have a lovely chat with my seatmate during the flight down to Atlanta, who just happens to be my favorite (in office) politician but I also bumped into one of my oldest and dearest friends from high school. She and her husband were sitting not 25 feet away from me in the Delta sky lounge!

Once I finally arrived at the Ritz Carlton I was in much better spirits.  Of course, no surprise I highly recommend staying here! It's a hop skip and a jump from the airport and has everything I was looking for... a fabulous pool, several great restaurants, a divine spa and a morning mimosa bar... all weekend! There was also a small casino but that's not really my thing so I never even checked it out, though I'm sure it was lovely. 

While there wasn't much shopping I did enjoyed an afternoon visit to Old San Juan. The capitol building was absolutely beautiful as were some of the surrounding buildings. I wish I'd made it to the Coronado area of the island. It has some high end shopping as well as the museums. Maybe next time!
