The Baseball visit to Roberto Clemente Sports Complex was a disappointment. The works of the great Roberto Clemente Sports Legacy lives on in this oversized Daycamp for the children of San Juan. This sports Complex could be anywhere USA.
The Beaches were beautifull and fun. The trip ( one day ) to Old San Juan was the highlight of the vacation. The Fort was an impressive reminder of the significance of this area in the colonizing of North America. A favorite cruise destination, and tour area. The weather was beautiful and pleasant each day. Only one day of rain (for a few hours in mid afternoon) in 7 days on the Island.

Quick Tips:

Stay out of Old San Juan after Dark!

Best Way To Get Around:

Bus tours were the best way to get around the Island. The traffic is very bad, as everyone on the small island has a car. A 30 mile x 100 mile piece of land with everyone in their car at 5PM is a nightmare!
The Embassy Suites was a great destination, with in house Outback Restuarant, a lavish breakfast buffet, lunch buffet and dinner menu, a bar, and a Casino.
