    There’s more to Puerto Rico than the beaches

    ByEileen Ogintz November 7, 2011July 10, 2021

    It is pitch black and we are kayaking through red mangroves, trying to dodge the roots, on our way to the Bioluminescent Bay Laguana Grande at Las Croabas, Fajardo in Puerto Rico—one of three on the island, I learn from our guide Joel from GSI Adventures.

    Plans go awry – not necessarily a bad thing on vacation

    ByEileen Ogintz October 23, 2011July 5, 2021

    Everything on a plane — including coffee pots — has to be restrained during takeoff and landing and in times of turbulence–everything, that is, except young children sitting on a parent’s laps.
