Well, friends, we’ve been in California for a few weeks now, but it’s already time to move on to the next adventure. Our “household goods” (i.e., our books, clothes, and kitchen items) should arrive in San Juan, Puerto Rico within the next couple of weeks, and we will arrive in San Juan in just a few short days. We’re hoping that one of the houses we’ve found via online searching will work out, but we’ve booked a week into a hotel just in case we can’t find anything suitable right away.
We’re hoping to find something a bit out-of-the-way, in the mountains where it’s about 5° cooler, but we’ll see how it goes. We have been living out of the same four suitcases for about two months now, and really want to settle into somewhere nice and quiet, and to have some different clothes from which to choose. Of course, neither one of us has anything like the type of clothes needed for the climate in Puerto Rico, so we’ll be a bit out of sorts until we can manage to go shopping – which we can’t do quite yet, because the suitcases are about maxed out in terms of weight already, to the point where we’ve had to weigh each one and redistribute the load.
After nearly a month of enjoying California, we Hobbits will be Abroad, once again. Many of you have promised to visit. We’re wondering who will be the first to make it to the warmth of Puerto Rico.

Oh, goodness, that will be a climate change indeed! I have PR on my list of places to go for two reasons – Bioluminescent lagoon and because several southern-Caribbean cruises leave from there. Please tell me you’ll go to the lagoon so we can all live vicariously through you!
When I moved to the south from Indiana, I blissfully dumped all my cold-weather clothing. I regretted it because it still gets cold 2-7 days in the winter. Don’t make my mistake. Heck, maybe in PR it won’t matter.
Best wishes to you both in your newest adventure!
Swimming with bugs? Well … perhaps we’ll take a kayak through there one day. 😉
So soon?? Time does fly. I hope that you are both over colds and have stopped shivering from four years in chilly overcast.
Ok…a bioluminscent lagoon?? I AM SO THERE!!
I hope the travel there is easy and the house hunting and transition is smooth. Hugs and well wishes.
We’re over colds, but not over being allergic to Gorse (Scotland) and/or Scotch Broom (California). Hopefully there’s no variant of it in Puerto Rico!
I hope you can find a place with properly working windows, mushroom-free bathrooms, great light, and quiet neighbors!
Truly – that mushroom was a horror! We’re going to have to find a place pretty quickly, but aren’t prepared to settle for anything which looks at all as if it’d be a bad choice. We’ve had too much of that, in recent places!
Can’t believe it’s already time for you guys to go to PR! Good luck finding a place to live, I’m sure there will be a few stories that come along during the process 🙂 Safe travels!
Wow! Talk about a change of weather! Thankfully humans are adaptable. Hopefully hobbits are too 😎
Sending you good thoughts!
