First and foremost I want to thank everyone on this board. Without the plethora of information our honeymoon would have been just okay. Thanks to you, it was FABULOUS!!!!!
Flight- We left Chicago via Midway airport on ATA. We got a great deal, a little over $500 for 2 roundtrip tickets, which couldn't be beat. The flight was fine; our only complaint was that our original documents said it was departing at 7:30 am but it didn't take off until 8:30 am which they claimed was on time. So, we did spend about 2 ½ hours in the airport waiting around.
Pre-Cruise Stay- We arrived in San Juan and took at taxi ($12 for 2 people with 3 bags) to the Comfort Inn in the Condado District. We were scared at first because the route the driver took seemed to be going through "rough" residential areas. But, we worried for nothing. The area changed for the better right away and we arrived at the hotel. The Comfort Inn was "dated" but very clean. The room was nice sized and they did have an outdoor pool. It was one block from Ashford Street where all the shops and entertainment are which was perfect. We only paid $90 (booked the internet special) and it was well worth it.
