I felt like I squeezed a whole extra sun day in! Thankfully, the airport is a short 20 minute drive from old town San Juan and only 5 minutes from Condado. The 5am flight was painful at the time, but ended up working out great.
Start by flying into San Juan Luis Muñoz Marín Airport from NYC in just under 4 hours.
My first trip to Puerto Rico was packed full of sight seeing and Pina Coolada tasting.
