Mama Shelter bar scene is real nice, it was one of the more popular "clubs" in paris when i was there. we had the DJ playing Flipside and other Rocafella classics and the patrons was looking at us like

Nuyorican cafe for some live salsa dancing. It was a good mix of locals and tourists when we went. We ended up going to vieques because like mentioned we missed out on the ferry to Culebra (wife took too damn long getting out the car and gathering everything )

It ended up working out though because we found a beach all to ourselves for a few hours after we rented a jeep to get through the rough terrain leading up to the beach.

La casita Blanca, la Roca Taina in luquillo are good spots for food. Make sure to get a pincho on the side of the highway at some point, it's like a sandwich on a stick. Visit fajardo on a moonless night (there's charts online you can find on what phase the moon will be in) to see the bio bay which was fkn magical

Gambling is legal there, saw a cock fight and gambled at a big hotel I can't remember the name of.

We made a couple wrong turns and felt a little uncomfortable but nothing happened. This was 3 years ago before their current economic crisis. If I were to go now I wouldn't do anything to stand out (leave the Apple Watch at home and only take one of our older iPhones on the trip) no jewelry on us whatsoever and only carry very small amounts of cash.

We actually felt safer in Cuba as the police and military presence was very well felt (in a good way).

was in Denver yesterday for the weekend, in Seattle this morning till Wednesday then on to Portland. Been on the move for the past 4 months; Poland, Australia, Germany, U.K. France, Belgium, now the US for a couple of weeks. Playing music and traveling is one of the greatest gifts I've been given in this life.

Everytime I've been, it's been brief but what in particular are you interested in knowing about Brussels? Hotels? Bars?

I have a 4 hour layover in LAX next week. Never been there...anything interesting about this airport? Best place to eat?

Homeboy industries. While it is pricey, it's for a good cause plus everything is pricey in the airport but not everything is for a cause.
