A week in Puerto Rico?

[Radbot42]

My brother wants me to spend a week with him in Puerto Rico. He's leaving in a few days, and I have no idea if I want to go. This month is already a tad bit on the crazy side as far as events go. I wouldn't have to pay for my way there or back, but what is there to do there?

My brother is very awkward to be around for long periods of time. A phone call with him usually has long periods of not talking, like he wants to talk to me but he has no idea what to talk about and I have no idea what to talk with him about.

My brother is planning on using most of his time doing PHD related stuff, so I feel like I would get immensely bored too. Going there could be a lot of fun, but I just have a feeling I will hate it. It's not one of the places in the world I wanted to go to either. My mom and sister both think I should go, thinking I'd be an idiot not to go, but they keep forgetting I'm more of an indoor person.

I don't know what to do here and just thought I'd share my ridiculous life.

I have a friend from there who would probably love to swap places with you, but he has the history and experience to make it a fun time. You...don't, really. I'd just decline.

well I heard it has a lot of beautiful land, and water falls and that its a pretty nice vacatinal spot for snorkling, surfuing and things like that, but I think even just going to a new place just to admiring the veiw can be soul reviving. that sound pretty nice and vacational, you just have to ask yourself if that sounds like you kinda place. I know exactly what I would say in your position too.

We went there for my last birthday and I loved it, but we pretty much didn't leave the resort. In general, there are tons of outdoor activities, beautiful scenery, etc. --- but if you're not into that and your brother is going to be busy, then yeah...you'd probably be bored. There are great restaurants, casinos, clubs...but pretty expensive and not sure you'd want to go alone. Another consideration is where you'd be staying...they told us that some areas of the island were pretty unsafe.

My brother knows a family that is lending him their house while they are away for a few weeks.

I think I might go for a day or two if I can work that out, but in no way can I go for a week.

I would go...for the men alone. I quite liked almost every single Puerto Rican guy I ever met...

Don't be 26 going on 80. Go and explore. Live it up before you have too many obligations.

Life is too short. Go.

So it looks like my brother is doing the thing he always does. He always tells my mom or sister about contacting me to visit him but never does. I've yet to hear from him, but everyone else knows about him wanting me to visit/go with him on this trip.
