Our journey to Bon includes a 7 hour layover in San Juan giving us most of the day to, hopefully, visit a beach. Is anyone familiar with the area and has any suggestions?

Susan, there is an ENTIRE thread devoted to what to do in San Juan on a layover.... do a search and see what you can find!

a 7 hr lay over in san juan I would rent a car... drive to old san juan villiage and have a bite to eat and walk the cobblestone streets and bvisit the fort there and the old convento hotel in the court yard for lunch maybe

Norman, I'm curious, did you do this on your last trip? Rent a car on your 7 hour lay over?

Norm, I spent six weeks in PR a couple years ago. Rented an apartment in Isla Verde I was just curious about the car rental...as it would take time to rent, etc....plus, well, they drive CRAZY there! On our 7 hour lay overs we usually head to Isla Verde, get something to eat, hang out, get a massage, etc. Old San Juan is really neat if you haven't been there. The traffic though on weekends is tough, and it's hard to find a parking spot. We usually just take a cab, or have a friend who lives there pick us up and we spend the day with him

I agree with you Grasshopper . Its been a while since we have spent time thru San Juan. Traffic can be difficult.

Norm, glad you enjoyed Bonaire. When did you live on St. Croix? Been there once, in 1985. My ex brother in law and his wife used to spend 6 months there annualy (to escape the up state New York winters) Loved the snorkeling there, wasn't a diver at that time though

Hi Grasshopper. I lived on St Croix from 1983-1991. I worked for the Radio station there Isle 95, WJKC, which is still going. Also worked for another classic rock station there at that time Q99. I am sure if he was there are paths crossed.
