So true. I was at a hotel once where an attack was planned. The cabs were all gone that usually lined up at the front door. The street vendors were gone and even the bar was closed by the pool. I was lucky, didn’t get a scratch. More than 100 other people weren’t so lucky.

I was at the Dupont Plaza Hotel in San Juan when it burned and more than 100 people died. I was out by the pool but went up to the lobby for something where I smelled the smoke. They had had a couple of fires there that week so I wasn't too upset but I tend to be cautious so I very quickly went down the stairs and the smoke was getting thicker. I ran out onto the beach when the explosions happened. They said there were no explosions but I'm telling you there were.

It was weird. And this will sound weird too. There had just been a report in the news talking about the relative likelihood of getting married versus being in a terrorist attack and concluded that the probability was low for either. All I could think of as I ran was the odds of *both* being in a terrorist attack *and* getting married. The odds of a joint occurrence seemed pretty slim. LOL

I think a secret service man died in the fire and the publisher of a big newspaper. The bad guys were trying to get the casino money for the Free Puerto Rico separatist movement.
