The lane door opens, with it, an extreme heat (I came from the cold!!) blows into my face.
I am in the Caribbean. First impressions are positive, SJU is a modern airport, much better than many airports in Europe.
Having filled the green card during the flight, I head straight to customs. A massive queue ahead of us meant a wait of nearly 40 minutes.
I soon realised that the flight from Santo Domingo had also landed and according to a frequent traveller next to me, it's always the same when flights from the Dominican Republic land in San Juan.
The Dominicans are sadly treated to a lengthy interview, all the details sucritinised and a lot of questions asked. They waited, with a mix of patience, sadness and agitation to what they see as unfair treatment by their Boricuan neighbours. I got eventually past Customs, collected my lugage and was heading to the exit door of SJU, the gateway to Puerto Rico.
My adventure was about to begin!!!
