Back in the mid 90’s my company had a retreat in PR, and we stayed at the luxurious “El Conquistador” hotel.

But, I remember going from the airport to the hotel, and the squalid conditions. All houses with high fences, and bars on their windows.

We were told to NOT leave the hotel grounds, except in “groups”.

It’s like the whole island was a criminal enterprise.

I’d NEVER go there on my own for a vacation, or anything.

I went with a group of kids to Miami in 1981 or 82. We were told the same. Do NOT venture out at night, and in daylight walk in groups of 5 or more. I can only imagine how much worse PR is....

There may be a need to clean up a lot more than Hurricane damage while rebuilding infrastructure!
