Yay! I'm finally in Puerto Rico. I'm here for work, on a site visit for a program following some severe storms and flooding back in September. I never thought I'd make it. I left my house at 4 something this morning, and didn't get into my hotel until after 5 pm. Yikes. I spent a majority of the day in the Ft. Lauderdale airport, a place I would list as awful. Seriously. I was in a terminal with about 10 gates, and wasn't able to leave to get food (weird). That left me with a hot dog stand and a dunkin donuts that offered old sandwiches. How do I know they were old? Because I ate one during my 3 hour delay.
Today was a good reality check for me that maybe the east coast is getting to me more than I realized. I found myself on several occasions getting very impatient by how slow people were - this included in any line, boarding a plane, etc. I really think I've gotten used to the faster pace that seems the norm in DC. I mean - even at starbucks. DC may have horrendously long lines but they know how to move people through.
I'm excited to see how the rest of this visit goes. Last observation - Ft. Lauderale was overrun by rhinestone watches. Who knew?

Oh fun. Will have some leisure time in Peurto Rico? Here's a little Spanish lesson from someone who took two semesters of it:
Hola means hello in English. Queso means cheese in English. That should just about get you anything you'll need.
