Rose colored glasses? Maybe glass half full or half empty?
My point is that it is (in my opinion) unwise for anyone to suggest people cancel or postpone their vacations in SXM for years when economic recovery is so dependent upon tourist dollars. We have seen the greatest devastation on the news because that's what makes the news. But what about the resorts or restaurants that had only minor damage and are open for business months ahead of others?
We will all make decisions on when to return if ever, but I prefer to let accurate updates rule over dark long term predictions.
