 The Missus and I are going to Puerto Rico. She has #fibromyalgia (severe, chronic pain and fatigue) and is often fairly limited, physically. I wonder if folks familiar with PR across the fediverse can recommend activities for us (other than the obvious beach time) that will give her fun experiences without over-stressing her body. We will have a vehicle.

I know this is a niche question, so I appreciate your boosts to reach folks who can help! 
 @28bc87a6 My mother had fibrositis syndrome, as it was called, back in the late 70s. Most doctors wouldn't diagnose it because it was a "syndrome." The best therapy for her was riding a stationary bike to keep her body flexible. But, one day I walked in while she was sitting at the kitchen table. I told her that she should be riding her bike. She said, "When I don't move, I don't hurt."  From then, I knew she would physically go down hill. She did.
