Time To Plan For Some Fun In The Sun!

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Sept. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Summer is almost over.  In fact, by some accounts, there's already a chilly breeze blowing through some parts of the country.  In recent years it seems like winters have been getting colder and longer.  What used to be fun from a child's perspective is now tedious and miserable from an adult's.  Shoveling snow, grueling traffic, bone-chilling weather is no way to spend your vacations.

That's right, I said your vacations.

Most people take off during the summer months, when they can travel to Europe, Disney World or the National Parks.  But not everyone can do that.  If we could, businesses would have to shut down during the summer months.

Consequently, many people are stuck with the winter months, when all the usual travel destinations aren't an option.  So why not plan for some fun in the sun?  That's right!  Why not visit sunny Puerto Rico, where it's summer all year round.

Puerto Rico has some of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the world.  But of course it does… The Island is located right smack in the center of the Caribbean Sea.  But it also has Old San Juan; the second oldest city in the Western Hemisphere, El Yunque National Rainforest; the only subtropical national forest in the United States, the Camuy River Cave System; one of the largest in the world, the Arecibo Radio Telescope Observatory; the largest in the World, land and water sports everywhere, and the best cuisine this side of Spain.  Mmmmmm!!!

And how do you find it all?  Easy, with Puerto Rico By GPS (http://www.puertoricobygps.com).

Puerto Rico By GPS is a site built and maintained by Puerto Rican landscape photographer Orlando Mergal.  Mergal —who is also a Master in Communications— has lived on the Island for the last 50 years of his life, and has documented every inch of this tropical paradise. And now, after gathering one of the largest photo collections of the Island, he has written about those very same places and presented it all under the Puerto Rico By GPS brand. He also has a YouTube Channel and a Facebook fan page under the same name.

Puerto Rico By GPS is a place where you can see all the beautiful places there are to visit in Puerto Rico, you can read all about them, you can learn exactly how to get there, and you can even learn how to pronounce their name correctly in Spanish.

The site has GPS maps that pinpoint the exact location of every landmark.  But there's more.  You can follow the maps provided on the site or you can copy the coordinates and enter them into your car's GPS unit.  Either way you'll arrive straight to every spot.

And there's one thing about this site that you won't find anywhere else.  Mergal tells it like it is.  Since this site has no government support Mergal tells you when something is great and he also tells you when its run down or dangerous.

And just so you know, the winter months are the best to visit sunny Puerto Rico.  Why? Because the sky is a deep clear blue, the temperature is cooler and everything is less crowded.  So you'll have the place all to yourself.

So it's up to you!  You can watch the snow falling outside your window or you can bask in the sun, sip a cold piña colada and enjoy the Caribbean fun.
