Flying to Vieques, Puerto Rico! Day 1 Vlog

Welcome back travelers! This week we are vacationing in Puerto Rico! But not the Puerto Rico you may be thinking of. We are actually going to be staying on one of the smaller islands off the east coast. Vieques (Spanish spelling of a Taíno word meaning "small island" or "small land") is located about 8 miles off the coast and was home to a US military base from the 1940s till 2003.
In this video we travel from Charlotte, NC to the tiny beautiful island. It took us 3 flights including a 25 minute flight on a small 8 seater "puddle jumper". A first for all of us.

    Question when you land in VQS airport where do you get a rental car from?? Do they have them at the terminal soon as you land, can you book ahead or is it more of a in person thing

    We reserved the cars beforehand and asked if they would meet us at the airport.

    That tiny plane looked both super fun and super terrifying

    it was. For me, watching the guages and the buttons were the crazy part.

    San Juan airport. There's some small airlines that fly out. We like to use a site called Rome2Rio and it gives you all the details.
