I had a good week back in San Juan. I followed through on some of my plans finding a real office to work out of (https://www.cospazio.com/ ), and getting work done. I was really hesitant to spend money to sit at a desk when I can do the same thing at a coffee shop for …
St. Croix (US Virgin Islands)
I'm currently transmitting this from the airport here in St. Croix before I head back home to Puerto Rico. I just finished a 4 day vacation with my girlfriend as we start to explore more of the Caribbean. We picked the US Virgin Islands primarily as Buck Island (we took a boat from St. Croix) …
