Well, that and shopping for the many fabulous items I will need during my week-long stay. But my loss of time worrying about shopping is your gain, as I'm sure (or at least hoping) you have some sort of beach/pool/lake/summery excursion of your own and will need some Puerto Rico-worthy items of your own. So over the next few posts I'll highlight some of my must haves for my trip.
