I'm from Massachusetts, and I went to Puerto Rico about 5 years ago (I've been itching to get back). Such a lovely island, and the hospitality there is amazing. Hopefully I'll visit later this year.<p>Thank you! Tourists tend to visit Puerto Rico more than once thanks to our warm weather and amazing beaches.</p>http://explorepuertorico.tumblr.com/post/19819838256http://explorepuertorico.tumblr.com/post/19819838256Sat, 24 Mar 2012 00:29:31 -0400I'm in love with Puerto Rico already!
