Traveling in and out of Rincon Puerto Rico has always been made easier by the Aguadilla Airport (BQN) which is only about 25 minutes from Rincon. The airlines that service the Aguadilla Airport are Continental, Jet Blue and Spirit. Spirit Air flights mostly connect through Ft. Lauderdale, Jet Blue Connects through Orlando or will go direct to the JFK airport in New York. Continental flies to JFK and Liberty Newark International Airport.
Last week, I decided last minute to postpone our New Jersey visit when I was offered an airline ticket to meet a buddy in Costa Rica to catch a south swell created by a tropical storm/hurricane. The only caveat was that I needed to fly out of San Juan. No worries. I drove 20 minutes to the Mayaguez airport and took Cape Air from there into San Juan (beautiful 30 minute flight) and connected to my Continental flight through Houston to Liberia Costa Rica.
After we took off, I snapped this picture with my iPhone. The air strip is in the foreground directly to the left of the half moon looking bay. If you follow the beach up past the next point, that is Isla Verde (El San Juan Hotel, Intercontinental, Ritz Carlton) Not a bad picture for a phone.
I have a iphone too, they take great pictures. Can’t wait for the next one to come out next month. Great picture.
did you score any wave in costa?
What inspired you guys to move to Rincon? (besides the surf). My husband and I are planning on moving probably in January 2009. We have buddies there as well (Taino Divers/Shipwrecks guys). San Diego has begun to lose its luster, even for Eric who was born and raised in PB. Would love to learn more about your experiences! I have even decided I can live without Fashion Valley.
Cheers to you guys!! Thanks for the blog!
