Peter,
You are right. I got the internet thing wrong, or the post
was changed. Where I'm "coming from" is: People who
have lived or snowbirded these Islands for the last twenty
or thirty years belong to a very faithful group of tourists
that increase every year with like minded people. Recently
with the exposure of Vieques and Culebra, we are getting
more "been there..done that" type of tourist. It's a bad
fit for us, the locals, and the tourists themselves. This is
truly paradise lost and we don't need an invasion of "luxury
resorts" and the kind of people they attract. Their expectation
level is out of whack for what they are about to experience.
You don't expect internet cafe's at Macchu Picchu. Although
Internet is being advertised by some, the systems are new
start-ups with bugs etc. If Charles was a little more relaxed
he would have found out that locals have been helping tourists
for years with internet service by letting them use their
computers or connections. Now that's something to write
about! But if you insist on being disappointed or misinformed
your going to be unhappy no matter what we do and you
miss the whole point. As to me being a pit-bull, guilty. My
intent is to stir up conversation. Those who love these
Islands understand. Smitty
