Hello everyone!
We are Steve & Kenny. We've been to Puerto Rico several times, both before and after Celebrity cruises. We have driven down to Ponce and explored a bit including trips to El Yunque National Forest. We love the Caribbean and have grown fond of Puerto Rico. This is where we plan to retire.
Our "mission" for the next few weeks is to get to know the island and people. We've rented an apartment near La Placita de Santurce in San San Juan and will have a car. We'll be exploring cities and towns, beaches and breweries, museums, culture, nature. Although we are scouting well in advance, our goal is to retire to the island no later than 2026 and to purchase a home sooner, perhaps within 3 or 4 years. As such we intend to begin spending more time In Puerto Rico.
As a Navy retiree, "adventuring" and exploring is in my blood. We're not afraid to get off the beaten path and go local. Although two weeks is not much time, we'd like to explore places other expats are happily settled, see the neighborhoods, shop and eat with locals and other current expats.
Although we have a robust list of sites and things to do as we explore, we are wide-open to suggestions and input. We are quite excited to make this start in advance of getting away from the icy grip of winter in Minnesota!
Steve and Kenny
