Would "Central America - > Puerto Rico" be appropriate? I know sometimes its considered North America!

I'd say Its more appropriate for it to be like a Caribbean Island, Instead of Central America...
Hi Michael, Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. It became a U.S. territory in 1898, following the Spanish–American War, the United States appropriated Puerto Rico together with most former Spanish colonies under the terms of the Treaty of Paris.
With approximately 3.5 million residents, Puerto Rico is the most highly populated of all United States territories. People who are born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens.
In 1952 the US Congress passed a law changing the term territory to "commonwealth” but as an incorporated territory.
I can go into a full history class here but for the purpose of setting us on the map....we are part of the island that for the Caribbean archipelago......yes I was born there! And did some amazing weeklong inter-island Kayaking.

Sorry we missed thos earlier! We are currently back stateside for "outage season" which means work. Will be back sometime mid-june. Would LOVE to catch up if possible :-) Safe Journeys!
Big thanks! And back at ya... We love NW Oregon! We spent a year in the Astoria area and I have a niece headed out that way soon so it's back on the list! PLUS a great stop on a Big Alaska Run we are trying to plan!
Compay! Alaska!!! I'll share with you why I'm on this forum....this is at the heart of my dreams and something I can't explain but it happened.
So, when I was growing up in PR I was in the boy scouts Troop 11 La Piedad in Isla Verde. LOL... don't know if you remember the old handbooks but I had a vivid imagination of going to the pine forests as depicted on the Boy's Life magazines...wow...so that was 40 years ago (OMG). And whatever you wish hard enough in life BECOMES TRUE ! Fast forward to present day and many circumstances that where ment to be...I now live in Portland, Oregon surrounded by what use to be the pictures in my old handbook....I'm in heaven my my friend. Do I miss my island? You bet, like a Coqui.
Then I came up with this crazy idea...hey if I'm up here, might as well prep the jeep and make a run to Alaska and a run to Cabo San Lucas. So, if at some point in time you decide to make a run for Alaska...I'm up for it.
Saludos !

And yes... travelling is more fun with, well, more! We work in the Nuclear power outage world... so we work a bit and then are off for a bit. Oddly enough we ALSO want to do the Baja Mexico run! Sooooo.... next summer might be on the table :-) Let's definitely keep in touch!
Is this a GREAT group or what!?
Buen dia compadre!
O. M. G. This is the definition of fate and kismet! My dad was a Regional Exec in Michigan and Illinois for the Boy Scouts! I (Mary, the female side of this wandering pair) went to Philmont as a kid and I have a helluva patch collection to share with you one day!

Are you currently there? My husband is in Barranquitas working on our place. I'm sure he would love an afternoon of company on the roads! Hope that you and yours made it through the hurricanes safe...

Sorry Motor Gypsy Pair I’m not.
At the moment I’m laid up in a Rhode Island hospital. My diabetes sneaked up & kicked my butt. Hopefully we can find some more Boricua’s up in here. So Feliz año nuevo.
Oh dear! Be nice to the nurses and get better soon! One of these days we can happily host a gathering on the island [emoji2]

New member here, loved scouting and camping as a kid and now that my boy also loves it and my daughter is 4, I'm starting at it again. Very cool to find some boricuas here. Currently living in San Juan, but originally from Caguas.
