Travel: "but why do you keep going back?...."

We are often asked this question. Usually it's asked because most have gotten to know us as travelers who enjoy pushing the envelope whenever we can ...especially when it comes to our fall getaways.

Case in point as some of you who have been following this blog know we have a deep appreciation for South America.

Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro will forever continue to be major highlights. So why keep going back to Puerto Rico, year after year, this last being our 16th visit??

Many reasons.

By the time March, April comes around we are both beaten down with the cold and grey and all we wish to do is be outside relishing in the warmth of the Caribbean sunshine.

All we want to do is read, sleep, eat and enjoy the beach. Not all necessarily in that order.
Where we stay offers that and so much more.

In the fall we are more adventurous and willing to throw ourselves into new cultures, new
languages, different money, the whole nine yards, and what better way to "Get away" than that.

Going back, after so many years... we have to say, really, it's all about the people we meet there year after year.We have met wonderful people over the years.

Stylists, fashion models, architects, bloggers, as well textile designers, who have all shared with us their views and ideas, as well as their reasons to be on Vieques.How can we possibly NOT go back year after year.
