Thank you for your on-site information. Trip reports are always appreciated and now, moreso than ever before.
We have weeks at the Towers and while I’m aware of the gaping holes in the roof and some missing windows, I’ve slso been told the damage was mostly limited to the 7th and 8th floors and there are people actually staying there. Not timeshare owners but possibly some AUC students and others..And I know their staff is still working so I’m somewhat surprised you didn’t see anyone while there. Good to hear about BSV, too.
We’re not due back on Island until the Fall so any and all firsthand information is truly appreciated. Thank you.
Respectfully,
pat

Thanks John for a very informative report. It is good to hear some places are recovering but I know it will take several months for things to get back to some form of normal. Hopefully by the time I am able to return, things will have greatly improved. I just could not stand to see all the devastation from Irma. I saw the results of Luis in 1995 and that was bad enough when we returned 8 months later. Seeing the results of Irma is just too heart breaking now.
