All opinions are 100% mine.<\/p>\n<p>If all you think of when you hear Puerto Rico is Jennifer Lopez, then you haven&#8217;t even begun to scratch the surface of possibilities. My philosophy isn&#8217;t that a good vacation is needed sometimes; my philosophy is that a great vacation is needed every time (and if possible, you can take a vacation everyday. When Igwe and I made our list of places to go, Puerto Rico was number one. Why? Because it&#8217;s right there. As a citizen of the United States, you don&#8217;t even need a passport to travel. All you need is your photo ID, and then, welcome to greatness.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m already imagining myself there. Yes, I can see it clearly. The harsh Maryland cold is the only thing reminding me that my trip is still just in my head. But a girl can dream. First of all, I have to see these Bioluminiscent Bays. And you know I just recently learned to swim, so going to a place where I can glow like an angel &#8230; imagine what that feels and looks like. Call me vain, but I&#8217;m thinking about how great I&#8217;ll look in those pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;ll visit El Yunque, the only rainforest under US national park service. And I hear that the city of San Juan is an old city with documents dating to as far back as the 1400s. That&#8217;s almost 700 years ago. Wow!!! I mean, WOW!!!! I&#8217;ve also never gone horseback riding, and Puerto Rico might just be the place where I do it for the first time. I probably don&#8217;t need to tell you of how I intend to eat the food? My, oh, my.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this short video of the El Yunque rainforest and tell me that don&#8217;t want to move there right now.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/73864415?color=81ae0b\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/73864415\">El Yunque Rainforest: A TripAdvisor Traveler Review<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/seepuertorico\">Puerto Rico: The All-Star Island<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is so much to do in Puerto Rico. So many places to stay. So much to learn. It will turn any kind of trip into a 5 star experience, and before you know it, you&#8217;ll be a celebrity in your circle. You got to go to Puerto Rico and do ALL that? You have to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/app.socialspark.com\/clicks?lid=32119&amp;oid=11356827\" rel=\"nofollow\">Live your own 5-star vacation story in Puerto Rico.<\/a>\u00a0I mean, you just have to.<\/p>\n<p>Permit me to belabor the point. There are three things you do not have to worry about when traveling to Puerto Rico: Money exchange (because they use dollars, too), Language (because they speak English, too), and Visa (if you&#8217;re a US citizen), so traveling will be like just going to another State in the US.<\/p>\n<p>But it gets even better!! You can visit PR with a loved one for free. Yes, absolutely free. How? You win a trip, of course! This trip is worth about $2,000, and here&#8217;s what it includes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> \u00a0Airfare<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> \u00a03 night stay (in one room)<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> \u00a0Food credit<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;re probably wondering how to win, right?
