Do you need a break? Are you drowning in your work?

Well, to help entice you to take a vacation I thought that I would list out ten things that you could be doing today on Culebra, instead of working.

1 – You could take a casual walk to Dewey town and have an extended lunch.

2 – For $2.00 you could take a publico to Flamenco Beach, which is consistently rated as one of the top five beaches in the world. (And we have “undiscovered” beaches that are even better than Flamenco.)

3 – You could rent a jeep and get lost for the sake of getting lost.

4 – You could enjoy a romantic sunset at Melones Beach.

5 – You could take a swim at Zoni Beach.

6 – You could snorkel at Carlos Rosario Beach.

7 – You could learn how to scuba dive.

8 – You could take a water taxi Culebrita.

9 – You could go kayaking over to Luis Pena.

10 – You could make a sandcastle on Brava Beach.

BONUS – Best of all…you could be doing NOTHING!

Need help planning your trip…give us a call here at the Palmetto Guesthouse.

While searching for some information online today I came across a very interesting and eye opening 1902 New York Times article on Culebra and Dewey entitled, “Uncle Sam’s Naval Base in the Caribbean Sea.” Louis Labadie Driggs drafted the article, who after a further GOOGLE search, appears to have been a New York Times staff writer in 1902 who focused on military affairs.

Since I am not sure of the New York Times’ copyright law I will just provide a link to the full article (as opposed to reproducing it here).
