We are supposed to vaca in PR on the 30th of this month. Do you think there will be power and the airports open?
Should we cancel our trip?
We will bring ice if that helps...
May God grant you some wisdom and discernment at some point before you die. Meanwhile, it's all about you.
Let me put it this way: iffy. By next month, maybe. By next week? Airport I’m sure will be open. But power is going to take weeks. Most people here are prepared, though, and can run their businesses on backup generators like I’m doing.
Do not go if you are not physically capable and in good health. Expect this to be like a camping trip with purifying your own water and carrying much of your own food. If you do go, have a good supply of first aid supplies, Vitamins and especially Vitamin C to help combat Zika, Chichingunya and other mosquito borne illnesses, oh, and repellent. Carry minimum clothing and maximum camping food and water purifying kit or tablets, batteries. Actually extra batteries and repellent might be better than cash to trade for some necessities. Reports are that there will be no Island wide electricity for 4 to 6 months. Yesterday I heard a report that 4 mainland airports will be open for people leaving PR—Miami, Atlanta(?), New York, and Philadelphia. The governor of New York may go there. Lots of PR people in New York who can vote. If you are rich, there are probably some hotels that can provide for their guests reasonably well. Check with your hotel before you go. Don’t go if you do not have housing pinned down unless you like sleeping in the open.
