Thanks Anne. We did see a lot, and that's not everything. For example, I didn't include photos of our Bomba dance lessons, too embarrassing π€£. It was an active trip.
π¨ THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.
That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

I went with a Road Scholar tour group. They made all the arrangements (other than air travel) and all the transportation. We stayed a few days at the Hampton Inn near the San Juan airport and a few days at the Hilton in Ponce.
Just about all of my trips are with Road Scholar.

If you are interested, I posted an overview of my Puerto Rico trip and more photos at the link below.

The president is not a king. We the People are making sure he knows it.

Thanks Anne!
The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

I got back home from Puerto Rico last night. I arrived at the airport 4 hours prior to my flight as recommended by the hotel and my tour leader (7:30 am). The lines were long, but no major problems. About 45 minutes from arrival at the airport to check my bag (including USDA scan) and clear TSA.
Thanks for the repost Pelzer.
Thanks Pelzer!
