BK @ BK (Burger King in Puerto Rico)

Well I have had another day of looking at properties here in Puerto Rico.  This time it was focused in Rincon.  Something I found kind of surprising was that all the coffee shops are closed.  Well, Surfs Up Coffee in Rincon was technically open there was no internet access and no coffee.  I stopped in and it was pretty empty.  I talked to the owner (Johnny Coffee as I’ve heard the surfers call him).  He talked to me for 45 minutes and never asked me if I wanted something to drink…lol.

Anyhow he did give me some good info.  This Puerto Rican Burger King has wifi.  I forgot my wallet in San German this morning and had all of $5 in quarters on me.  I bought 3 cheese burgers (Cassie would approve) and figured I’d make good use of the internets.  It seems to work well here.

So I checked some things out and have a few pictures to upload.  I am feeling positive today about a few of these.   I had talked to Jeff and Katrina last night about their experience moving here and their thoughts on what Cassie and I are doing.  It was a very good discussion and I appreciate all the advice.  It is a tough decision on what path to follow and how to follow it.  It is different for everyone.  I have a different idea than Cassie and I think that would be true for most couples.

Being here again reminds me of how fricken warm it is.  I was told by locals that it had been days of rain previous to me getting here but I’ll take that over snow at this point.   It has been an emotional trip for me especially without Cassie by my side.  It has given me some clarity to my own thoughts however.  I am a little homesick at times (even after a few days!) but overall I do want to move to Puerto Rico.  I don’t know if renting is the best idea, a large house in Rincon or a small house in the country.  I hope that Cassie and I can come to some kind of decision and if not, we have time still!  It has to be right for both of us.  If it isn’t….we will wait until it is.  The important thing is to never give up.  If you give up, then you’re done.   I won’t let that happen.

3000 Miles Apart

Leave a reply

I’ve been getting text messages and phone calls from Britton with updates on what’s going on down in Puerto Rico. Sounds like it’s nice and warm and tropical as usual and that the houses are looking good.

Back at the homestead, things are so weird without him here. Even the animals don’t know what’s up. (But they manage as long as I feed them 🙂 )


Britton is currently about 3000 miles away!

This is the farthest we’ve ever been apart since we got married. When we were still dating I lived in Querétaro, México for a summer, and that was really hard to be apart for that long!  

It’s so different doing everything by yourself…cooking, cleaning, taking care of the pets. I’m glad we planned this trip during the week, because at least I have work and that keeps me busy. On the weekends we spend the whole time together usually, so it would have been a lot tougher. And I have a few things lined up before Thursday when he returns. Tonight I think I’m going to go to Trivia night at Old Chicago’s and Wednesday night together with my friend Shana, my mom and my aunt, we are going to watch Eat, Pray, Love and have dinner and drinks. (Girls Night In)

But I still want to know what is going on down there in the tropics. It’s hard to only get the play-by-play and not see the action myself. Lots of questions…So, how was the flight? How was the new airport? What time did you get in? Is it three hours or two hours ahead of Colorado time? Did you get to spend any time with the Kruses? How was the first house? Was there a stream? What did it look like? What kind of view does it have? Is it really hilly? How far is it to the beaches? Etc, etc. I’m excited to know the details, but he’s busy looking at them! 🙂

I really hope that we find one that we can work with, so the next time we can bridge these 3000 miles -together!
