Puerto Rico (pronounced /ˌpwɛərtə ˈriːkoʊ/ or /ˌpɔrtə ˈriːkoʊ/), officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: "Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico" — literally Associated Free State of Puerto Rico), is a self-governing unincorporated territory of the United States located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands.

Puerto Rico (Spanish for "rich port") is composed of an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands, the largest of which are Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. The main island of Puerto Rico is the smallest by land area and second smallest by population among the four Greater Antilles, which also include Cuba, Hispaniola, and Jamaica.

Puerto Ricans often call the island Borinquen, from Borikén, its indigenous Taíno name. The terms boricua and borincano derive from Borikén and Borinquen respectively, and are commonly used to identify someone of Puerto Rican heritage. The island is also popularly known as "La Isla del Encanto", which translated means "The Island of Enchantment."

What would i need to pack to look stylish in Puerto Rico?
Q. I'm going to Puerto Rico next weekend for a week and I have no idea what to pack. Help? I'm going with my fiance and we're planning on doing a lot of walk around and the only shoes I really have are a pair of boots that I wear all the time as I don't like flat, flip flops or sandals. I tend to wear skirts, dresses, cardigans and tights often.

A. Hi, I live in PR and when its summer you wanna wear the least possible clothes since is soo incredible hot! So I recommend short sleeve shirts or with no sleeve at all, short pant, short skirts or very comfortable dresses for the day. Boots will fry your feet -_- unless you wear them at night. People here, including myself, like to wear clothes that have a lot of color or light colors (but don't wear hawaiian shirts please =D). If you plan to walk a lot (I imagine your going to the Old San Juan) you can wear a nice hat, snicker or shoes that have no heels. Bring your fancy or fashion clothes for going out at night. Hope this helps!!! =D Have Fun

What do you get tested for to get married in Puerto Rico?
Q. I'm planning on getting married in Puerto Rico. The thing is that this is my first marriage and I found out a couple of days ago that you have to get a blood test or something in order to get the license. I know that the tests and all that vary trough countries and states. So I would like to know what exactly do you get tested for in Puerto Rico? And if it involves too much needles?

A. Check out this post on my blog - I'm no expert, but it should point you in the right direction. The rules on blood tests have just changed and you now need 3 tests (not sure if they are all blood) You should also contact Demographic Registry Office (787-767-9120) to comfirm everything tat you need. Good luck
