Other Things To Do

- SHOPPING!

COSTS
- $480 from LAX - San Juan in August (doesn't let me search for Dec yet)
- on vrbo.com i looked at places on Culebra, and the average price was around $175 per night, which would be about $45 per person if there was 4 of us. 
- for old san juan, prices are similar to culebra, a little cheaper. and from staying in an apt there before when i visited, they're usually plenty available, kind of hit and miss on the amenities, bathrooms can be iffy (leaky, toilets clog easily). 
**** We should definitely find a place that has AC!! it gets SUPER humid.
- Food is probably close to American prices, maybe a little cheaper at mom n pop places. definitely try to avoid the tourist traps. 

PERKS
- My cousin lives in old san juan! So she could show us around a bit, and give us the low-down.
- US dollars. holla.
- beautiful beaches for days 
- puerto ricans are beautiful...especially the hot ladies. but guys are ok too :)
- good food, and probably more variety of foods available. 
- outdoor activities about, and also culture/history. 
- safe.
