Puerto Rico: Island of Enchantment
07.23.09 Posted in Puerto Rico by A. Ghodasara| 2 Comments »On July 4th 2009 weekend visited San Juan, Puerto Rico for 4 nights and 4 days. On July 1st left Houston (IAH) by Continental flight departing at 11:59 PM (yes midnight!) and reached San Juan (SJU) non-stop at 5:30 local time (EST). Flight time was approximately 4 Hours 20 minutes. FYI – If I am not mistaken the flight time of our friends who flew from Newark, NJ was more or less the same.
We stayed at the Hilton Caribe (Type Hilton Caribe San Juan in Google) which is 7 miles from the Airport and more or less the same distance to Old San Juan as well. read more »
Alaska: The Great Land

Day 1: We flew the non-stop IAH-ANC flight. I was able to snag the bulkhead section making it very comfortable with my little one. He slept through most of the flight, giving my wife and I the opportunity to rest and sleep. About 30-45 mins from Anchorage, we got our first glimpses of the snow-covered Alaskan peaks. This really got our adrenaline pumping. We flew over the Chugach Mountains (East to Southeast of ANC). read more »
