What happens when nine Cubans, two Mexicans, two Spaniards, one Puerto Rican, two Mexicubes (Mexican and Cuban blend), one Puertocube (Puerto Rican and Cuban blend) and 21 Gringos get together in a villa that is just to die for? One HELL-OF-A- PARTEE for over three days! Oops…I do mean a destination wedding.
I really don’t know how else to describe the last few days in the most beautiful place I have ever stayed in my entire history of travels. Located about three plus hours from San Juan on the west side of the island, the villa had ten bedrooms for the immediate family of the wedding party. Yours truly was blessed as she is the bestest of friends with the MOB (mother of the bride) who had one of the luxury bedrooms within the Rincon Ocean Villa of Puerto Rico. Loved the atmosphere of a huge FAMILY, adorable (and very well behaved) young children running around, drinking VT’s at 11:00 a.m.until who knows what time into the night and just enjoying the beautiful villa and its surroundings. And let me not forget to mention the personal chef and waitstaff that were just incredible. Oh and yes, yes, yes… the reason for the travels; a priceless and very romantic wedding! The added bonus? I learned how to salsa and had a taste of a real Cuban cigar. Yum Yum.
I have said it more than once…and it always deserves repeating…I am the luckiest girl in the world. Period. The end.

Looks just like the pictures from “foot prints in the sand” verse…one I love! Glad to hear you had such a FAB trip! Wish I could have been there to “partee” with you…one day my friend, one day! GH

The Rincon, PR, wedding of my daughter was indeed a magical even and I was so glad Robin was there to enjoy it with me. It was obviously magical because of the event and the location, BUT, the truth of the magic stemmed from the participants. Cubans, Gringos and Mixes were present, only to prove that good friends and family ARE the true source of the magic…..Thank you dear friend for being there with me and “our” familia.
AND YES, it is “The Footsteps” (picture) ….. supporting each other when we need to…….period the end.
