Traveling to Puerto Rico!

How to get there

Puerto Rico is a part of the U.S. so you do not need a passport or a visa to go there. Puerto Rico also uses the U.S. dollar for currency there, so you wont have to go through Currency exchange to make purchases there.

Cruise: 

  • Carnival provides a cruise to San Juan, Puerto Rico and a few other places for $499 per person. For a room with an ocean view in the month of April on a Saturday and Sunday, Your price would be $789. Of course that doesn't include some other prices included for cruise experiences. 
Flight:
  • For a round trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico on South West Air lines, The total cost would be $782. The departure would be on May 3rd and you would come back May 7th. They flight would take around 8 hours to Puerto Rico and 6 hours back. 

Where to stay

I found A hotel on cheapcarribean.com. This website includes the price of your round trip flight and your stay at the hotel. 
  • The price to stay there starts at $1,235
  • The price including your flights per person would be $1,314
  • The total price to stay there is $2,628.34.
What to do
  • Kayaking tours range from a price of $50-$150. 
  • There are snorkeling excursions that are about $60. 
  • Trips to go hiking in the rain forest are about $66.
  • You can go sailing for the price of $108. 
There are many of other fun excursions but these are just some of the examples I found on www.viators.com/puerto-rico/tours

Where to go
  • You can visit the El Yunque Rainforest for an exotic experience
  • If you like peace and quiet you can sail to a deserted island called Catamaran. 
  • You also can take a walking tour in Old San Juan which I assume would give you plenty of information on the islands history.
  • You should also go to Casa Bacardí Puerto Rico. Its a place for adults to drink and also take mixing classes. 
  • Lastly you should visit Bio Bay for some night kayaking. 
How much?

  • Assuming you choose to go by cheapcarribean.com the total for your flights and room for 2 people would be $2,678.
  • Food and drinks for 2 nights would be around $250-$300. 
  • I like to relax. So I would probably only do a day and a half of excursions. With that being said, I would probably spend up to $400 on activities. 
My total for the trip would come to: $3,378

A Timeline of the History of Puerto Rico

       Puerto Rico was first inhabited by a society of hunter-gatherers who discovered the island at least a thousand years before the Spanish  arrived. They were called the Taino culture. They lived in small villages led by chiefs. Eventually Christopher Columbus came and discovered islands in the Caribbean including Puerto Rico. Eventually that lead to the Columbian Exchange and the Transatlantic slave trade. After that, around 1865, local commissions reported that slavery should be abolished.

About me 🙂

  My name is G'Da Stinson. Im 18 years old and I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up in Covington Georgia. I went to Alcovy High school where I played volley ball and sung in chorus all four years.I got involved in school plays and clubs. Outside of school I took voice lessons and was involved in even more clubs and activities like National Black MBA and Delta GEMS program in Lithonia, Georgia just to name a few. I love music and I also have a love for business. I hope to one day combine my passion for both and make a career for myself as an entrepreneur.  I chose Georgia Gwinnett as my college because I thought being in a smaller classroom would be a better learning experience and the campus was amazing. I took several Advanced Placement classes in high school so the work load hasn't been too stressful on me. Now because of COVID-19, like everyone else, I have had to experience college at home behind a computer. Despite the inconvenience, online learning has made the educ
