Traveling is Medicine, A Walk on Condado Beach


After watching Jonathan Tisch on Fox I headed down for my morning walk on Condado Beach from the Marriott. I headed out with thoughts about Tisch's interview about the state of business travel. Soon enough I came across a very pleasent fisherman and watched him throw a handline repeatedly out into the surf. Soon his work was rewarded and as he hung the fish from a tree to keep it sand free we chatted. The world's problems faded from my mind and I realized that traveling is medicine in troubled times.

From the San Juan Marroitt to Condado, Yerba Buena Baby


From the Marriott San Juan we headed down into the Condado main drag and on a Friday night the streets pulsated with rhythms not found in Cottekill, NY. Travel & Leisure recently did an insider piece of the area and no doubt that beneath my 15th floor room action is happening such was certainly the case at Yeba Buena. I devoured a plate of delicious huge shrimp covered with a Creole sauce, washed down with a few mojitos. Feeling in a winning mood I took $50 from the Stellaris Casino, okay so big time I wasn’t. Still it covers the cost of lousy airport food eaten on the way down.
