Re: Puerto Rico: Attention Hazel & others

[Guest guest]

,

You have to talk with our member Annie who is from PR and traveled to

Miami with her twins to get treatment. She is usally in chat on

Friday nights. Her email is anniecastro take out the

spaces before and after the @. You will find that when traveling or

going anywhere people are generally very polite. I know there are

always people who feel the need to make harsh or ignorant comments,

but that is life and you cannot live a normal life trying to avoid

that. GO, have a wonderful time and really who cares what some idiot

has to say. Talk to Annie about what the weather will be at the time

of your trip and plan accordingly.

Carol,

Thanks for the encouragement to go and have a great time. You're

right, it's hard to truly appreciate how wonderful life is generally

without experiencing a few bumps and bruises along the way. Hope to

join chat tomorrow night and write to Annie.
