Thanks for writing this wonderful piece Sky (as you always do, since you are one of my fave authors here at Clutch!!) I went to the Great PR last year with my best friend. We had an insane time!!! Shout outs to Hector the tour guide for leaving us to find our way out of the El Yunique Rainforest ALONE like we were on survivor! HaHa, I made it home, son!!!!

I just returned from San Juan, Puerto Rico for Memorial weekend! I loved it! The best trip I have ever been on!
I heard about the event called Urban Fiesta there through S.E.T. network online e-blast and investigated the prices myself, with their recommendations, and posed the trip to my friends. Although the event list was the cliche grown and sexy and the events were over priced for an Atlantan and even New Yorkers the people who attended all came to party that weekend. Whether it was the Embassy Suites hotel happy hour, Isla Verde beach, Old San Juan Club Lazer young black professionals came to have fun by any means necessary.
I also got to practice my Spanish a little bit and despite the cloudy skies I plan on returning again! I missed the Rum factory but El Yunque was amazing!

You know what sucks, Black folks will ignore this article, because we act like traveling is for White Folks only. Sometimes. Thanks for sharing this. I have gone many places in my lifetime, and appreciate you showcasing this article on Puerto Rico. I may have to go.

I heard about Puerto Rico since 1976. That time we were 10 years old. I had a primary school classmate, his mother is from St Juan, Puerto Rico and his father is local, Malaysia. Sometime during school holiday, his family will be took a vacation to his mother hometown. When school holiday end, he and his family return back to Malaysia and the school session started. Meet with him and telling about his mother hometown. The scenario he was telling me about Puerto Reco and more or less the same as your article here. Hope the coming near I will be there to visit you place.
