Perfectly Perdue: Destination: Culebra

For Day Two of our adventure, Sarah and I ventured to the remote island of Culebra off the coast of Puerto Rico. We plan to spend the rest of our trip on this island as it has some of the best beaches in the world. Our first initial view of the island did not disappoint.

We started our morning off with breakfast at the hotel followed by a bit of shopping for Sarah and slot machines for Matt. Slot machines for Matt consisted of one 50-cent pull on a Walking Dead slot machine that netted $45. It was my one and only pull, as I paid for breakfast, taxi and Sarah's shopping with that one pull. After checking out of the hotel, we made our way to the Isla Grande Airport, although nothing was Grande about this tiny airport. It made Tuscaloosa's airport seem international in scale. The 8-seat plane did not sit well with Sarah's nerves but she was a trooper. A New Jersey girl named Hannah ended up shotgun with the pilot. Maybe I will get dibs on the return flight. The ride was entertaining, scary and amazing. We survived and made a perfect landing on the island.

Once on the island, we snagged our rental Jeep and explored the island. We saw some amazing beaches, met some interesting people, tasted some flavorful food and viewed some amazing sights. Following a long day, we settled into our cottage on top of a large hill for reading and catching up on a missed episode of The Walking Dead.
