I'm trying to plan a March trip to Puerto Rico and Culebra for myself, my wife and our two boys, ages 5 and 8. I would be grateful for any advice, especially regarding the following questions:
- How are the mosquitoes during the daytime and evening on Culebra in mid-late March? We've lived in places like rural Wisconsin and Alabama, so we're accustomed to some mosquitoes, but I would like to have a realistic idea to help me with thinking about how we would approach the day's activities (unfortunately, with a 5 and 8 year old, laying around all day won't suffice, although I wouldn't mind). Also, my younger son's skin tends to react pretty badly to the bites - a few are okay, but if he gets covered with them it can be a problem.
- I noticed from pictures that the forest and/or brush often grows quite close to the water's edge - are there typically mosquitoes during the day on the beach? How's the main town in the evenings, say for going in for dinner?
As I said, we've dealt with mosquitoes before, but I'd like some information with which to prepare properly.
Thanks very much for your consideration. Best wishes to all.
