Yesterday I flew in to San Juan and met Stefan before he flew out to Oklahoma for business (yes, we do actually have jobs ;)…). After he left, I had to drive The Red Baron (also known as the Bulldozer) from San Juan to our house in Rincon. I was a bit nervous because I’ve never driven the Bronco before and I’ve never driven in Puerto Rico before, but I made it and I only almost crashed once.
Here is how to get from the San Juan Airport to Rincon:
As you exit the airport, you are going to stay to the right and get on the 26 Oeste (West), stay to the right and in about 5 miles, you are going to take the tunnel exit to get on the 22. You drive on the 22 for about 30 - 40 minutes and it turns into the 2, which at some points is a two lane highway with stop lights (it looks more like a main street then a highway). About 1 - 1.5 hours into your drive there is a huge stadium on the left of the freeway. After the stadium, at the bottom of the hill, you are going to turn right at the Esso gas station and the Walgreens. Make your 1st left at the stop sign. Follow the signs to the 115 and then follow the signs to Rincon, which will put you on the 413. The 413 will put you in Rincon, Puerto Rico.

Wait a minute…you almost got into a wreck?
I was nervous sending you off on your own since you have never even driven in Puerto Rico, but it really is an easy drive once you’ve done it once.
It is too bad we couldn’t figure out how to set up the Garmin GPS you got me for valentines day to give you idiot proof directions. Those hand held units are far from idiot proof.
Yeah, I almost rear ended someone. I was tired. Whoops!
where did you get the big dog? i have a friend that’s looking for one.

Are you talking about Junior, the Bull Mastiff on Summers blog? She was dog sitting him for a friend of ours in California. He sure would be a good dog in Puerto Rico, but more so at night…he’d probably sit around all day from the intense heat. But…he was purchased in California.
Yes, we thought about kidnapping Junior and shipping him down to Puerto Rico, except he is too big for any dog crates and buying a tiger crate was going to be too expensive…He’s a BIG boy!
