We too think SSBB has ruined their atmosphere with the expansion. Again, the cruisers had something to do with it! We have been visiting the island for almost 20 years now and this is the first year we didn't stop to eat and take photos of the planes. I too enjoyed your posts. I'll bet your wife wasn't too fond of the amount of time you spent on your prose and being away from her, being that you are in the post-swinger era. I guess I could also chip in something to bring you back sooner as long as you find someplace more like RPBR and less like La Samanna. After all, my cookie jar marked La Samanna is for MY next trip. Enjoyed your journey!
