Their responses were based on total fabrication. One guy said, Puerto Rico isnt just all-inclusive resorts. I dont believe Puerto Rico HAS all-inclusive resorts. When I mentioned that I always stayed with friends or relatives away from the touristy area, and it was always lovely, but we also always ventured to other parts of the island for a few days, they asked where. I mentioned locations all around the island, but it was obvious they dont even understand the size of the island. My grandmother-in-law would get upset, but said she would let us go away for a few days because, I want to be a great grandmother. You need privacy. Half of it was because she didnt believe in air conditioning and our room did not have a cross-breeze. It was like trying to sleep in hell. So we would escape for a few days to somewhere with air. Ive been all over the island several times and even to Viequez, a small island of Puerto Ricos that is mostly used by the military. We stayed in an awesome hacienda, but apparently the island has been discovered because the prices now are outrageous. Still, you can watch wild ponies on the beach from your balcony, so...
Their responses were showing that they think Puerto Rico is a third world country that we just take care of. Many responded with, Maybe their government should have done more, to which I replied, Yes, maybe they should have. Their government is in Washington DC if youd like to write them a letter.
