Love your videos. Appreciate you show maps of how to get to each place. Very helpful. Ty
My pleasure!
Visiting San Juan in March while on a cruise. Stumbled on your video for ways to explore for free or on the cheap. I just have to say best video hands down! Thank you so much for such an informative video.
Glad you found it useful, loved SJ. Hope you find it enjoyable as we did. Have a great trip.
I love the cultural education you have provided in this video! This is what traveling the world means to me! Learning history and culture to value and respect all people around the globe!
Thank you, this is why we travel. We love to explore and learn about different cultures. Have a great day.
great videos. Thanks for posting.....
I completely agree with you about taking your time and not rushing around. To me, excursions can be too overwhelming when I'm on a cruise and trying to relax and unwind. I don't like to have the get up and go speed and then needing a vacation from my vacation. Thanks for the video! 🇺🇦🇺🇸🤜
So true Leo, I think Disney teaches us to rush to get in line then wait. San Juan is a port to take your time and enjoy the art and culture. Relax and enjoy. Walk and have a good conversation with the people you are with. Thanx for you comment and support.
@@FearlessRamblerthx for the video! Are there plenty of scooters? As mobility is an issue for me, and I can’t afford one of those scooters that you use in a grocery store or something. Lol. How much was a scooter rental? Thank you
Excellent video! I am “Boricua” living in USA and really enjoyed your tour.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 will be coming out this week. Have a great day :-)
Absolutely love this video! I seen so many things I’ve not seen in other videos! I was born in Puerto Rico but raised in Queens N.Y. Enjoying your video from the S☀️NSHINE state. 🙂💜🤍💙 Great job. 👍
Thanx for taking you time and watching it. It was our first visit to PR and we loved it. So much to see and on a port day, not much time to see it all. Have a great day😀😀😀
Thanks for your video. I’m arriving in February on a cruise & we’re only in port from 4 pm - 10:30 pm. so I’ll plan another time for the fort visit in the daytime.
Hope you had a fun time
Great tour George ,thanks for sharing. You showed me all the things I couldn't get to. I will have to go back in cooler weather so I can get up to the fort.
Thanx for you comments Chet. One thing I need to talk to you guys if you think it's better to do a story with history and info or a quick here are things to do. What do you feels viewer want? I think that's whats hard about starting a vlog, so much to learn. I like to tell a story, so I do. La lido loca and Don just talks to the camera and states what on their mind, seems to work. I like you site and what you do. Have a great day 🙂
Very informative, thank you
That was a fun walk!!!! 🙂
You know it!!!!!
nice video
Thanks for the visit
I saw the scooters at the one stop . Did you rent scooters and how much were they . My father in law has a scooter like that back home he likes to use when exploring some places . Long walks are pretty taxing on him but the m sure that would be a fun way to explore the port area .
Sorry we only walked it and didn't rent a scooter. Have a great day.
How many hours did you have to do the 5 things? I know cruise ships aren't in port very long. Would you go back on a longer trip to explore the rest of Puerto Rico?
I think we docked at 8am and the ship left at 5pm. We got back on the boat at 4pm to get ready for the Crown Grill restaurant for our anniversary dinner. We had plenty of hours to all of our list with time to spare. Puerto Rico was great, so yes an extended stay would be fun!!!!
Great informative video 👍
nice content.goodbye!.✨
Thank you for you kind words. I wish I had your skill in creating great photography using a drone. Wow those are nice vids. 🙂
🇵🇷🇺🇸 🙏🙌 Bless
