So my mother has paid for me to go with her on a cruise. Mainly because I'm that awesome and entertaining, yeah, I said it. Anyway - one of our stops is Puerto Rico and instead of visiting the Bacardi distillery or going Zip-Lining... I want to rent a car and get some pictures for our Puerto Rico page.
Now there is a 60% chance I'll get off the boat and decide laying around and drinking would be time better spent. However, even if I do that the other 40% of me will be nagging at me to get in a damn car and go take pictures since I'm likely to never go to Puerto Rico again unless Southwest Airlines starts flying there.
So my plan is to rent a car and fill in some of our listings with photos. If any of you truly want me to have a vacation, please tell me you have a cache of photos you've neglected to mention that so happens to include EVERY theatre ever on the island of Puerto Rico.

This sounds like one of those defining moments when you discover just how bad of an addiction/problem you have. Will you enjoy some relaxation and time with your mother? Or, will you cave in to the siren call of some long abandoned multiplex? Sun washed beach and the smell of rum? Or, boarded up boxoffice and the smell of mildew?
I'm predicting a recap of some mad dash, camera in hand, through the worst areas of San Juan, as your mother lounges on the beach solo.
Is it worth missing your cruise departure time to chase movie theatre pics? Is it worth leaving Mama hanging on a cruise ship so some dude 3 years younger than you can go cougar hunting using Mama as the prey?
Chill, dude. Enjoy your vacation. When y'all dock, hit up 1 or 2 theatres in town. Then get your @$$ back on the boat!

Oh no! Momma is coming with me! We're gonna have plenty of time to relax, the boat doesn't leave until 10pm and I prolly won't wanna be out in PR after dark.
Also -- it's hard to find info on the closed multiplexes. So this would probably just be a trip to all of the Caribbean Cinemas open ones.

It seems impossible to get anything to map properly in PR using Streets & Trips, so this may put the kibosh on the whole endeavor.

That and we pulled into port so late I barely got to see PR... not that I cared, I don't think I'm an island time kinda guy.
