Hola! When you travel, you are exposed to the good, the bad and the ugly of the place you are visiting. Unfortunately, it's sometimes the ugly that sticks to mind and overpowers the good experiences of our visit. I've visited places in Europe, most of the Antilles, Venezuela and living in the US have been fortunate to travel throughout. My husband, having been to even more places than I and therefore, more travel adventures, agrees with me that you will encounter awesome people and awful creatures that you'd wish would fall from the face of the earth. It seems to me, that you did enjoy your stay in San Juan and Culebra, did encounter the warm Puertorrican hospitality on both islands, did have a wonderful culinary experience, encountered the beauty of our beaches, underwater majesties and overall, had a great time. When you travel, you have to be prepared for whatever situation you may encounter, good or bad. Don't let a language barrier ruin a possible cultural exchange. It's how you react not act that you will come out victorious. The people of France do not like to speak English and that did not ruin my trip, quite the contrary, it gave me an opportunity to live like the French, pure immersion. We ran out of hot water in our flat in Spain and desperately wanted to shower after traveling for almost a day. I heated water on the stove and bathed remembering the days when water was shut off in PR. Later, you can laugh as you remember about those instances you were briefly inconvenienced. Join in on the party, be flexible, when you're given lemons, make lemonade, with PR rum of course. Learn from your experiences. On the eve of my adventure to Italy, I am reminded to be patient and have fun. I hope you will revisit PR with a different perspective and remember have fun, with the lemons, of course! LOL!!! Happy travels! J
