Houston to Puerto Rico: A Road Trip for the Ages (Or Not)
So, you're dreaming of swapping the Texas heat for the Caribbean cool, huh? You're thinking, "Hey, why not drive to Puerto Rico? It'll be an adventure!" Well, buckle up, buttercup, because I've got some news for you.
Let's Talk Logistics (Or Lack Thereof)
First off, let's address the elephant in the room: there's no road to Puerto Rico. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. It's an island, people! It's surrounded by water. Lots of water. Like, ocean-sized amounts of water. So, unless you've invented a car that can magically float and drive on water (and if you have, please, for the love of all things holy, share your secrets), driving there is a bit of a non-starter.
The Straight Talk
The shortest distance between Houston and Puerto Rico is about 1,976 miles. That’s by air. By car? Well, you'd have to turn your car into a submarine, then a boat, and then somehow drive on water. And even if you could do all that, it would probably take you longer than it would to grow a beard as long as your arm.
Let's Get Practical
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Okay, smart guy, so I can't drive there. What's the best way to get there?" Well, the most practical option is to fly. It's faster, more comfortable, and you won't have to worry about getting seasick. Plus, you can enjoy a nice cold beverage while you watch a movie.
