We've decided to spend our summer vacation in Puerto Rico. Since I work for the school system, I'm on vacation at the same time my kids are. This would be a great way for them to familiarize themselves with their heritage (they're a quarter Rican). We're going during July which is hurricane season. It should be an interesting trip. Being an explorer at heart, I don't fear getting lost, I actually prefer it. It will be me, the wife, the mother-in-law and 3 kids (16, 9, 7). I want to explore all the beautiful beaches and hidden nooks. I want to try out all the exotic and tasty foods. I want to relax, have fun, and learn all about Puerto Rico through the eyes of my kids.

Notes
Since we'll be arriving at 2pm after a 5 hour flight, we'll be too tired to really do anything.

For this trip, we figured that one week in a hotel would cost us somewhere around $1500. After shopping around, we found a 3BR apartment that someone was renting for $1200. This is why our trip is for 1 month instead of just 1 week.

We've decided that we will be bringing one box of food. The rental home has a full kitchen, so to keep our budget down, we're probably going to be eating and preparing our meals at our temporary home. We've packed the stuff that would normally cost more or stuff that we think wouldn't normally be found at a PR grocery store.

We can buy Coke, but more likely we will be buying bottled water. We've packed two jars of Kool Aid and Propel powder. I am just hoping our box will be ok for check-in at the airport...
