Puerto Rico, our other home!

Any time an opportunity presents to go to Puerto Rico, we go. It is a place I keep dear to my heart. It was my home during many months while Daniel was getting his citizenship and it is the people we also have learned to love.

We found out Nadja and José Toro's daughter was getting baptized on March 15th so we arranged to go and also to kill two birds with one stone I changed my interview with Global Entry for the day before on the Friday March 14th. I had a bad experice in Miami on my way to Chile when I came accross Customs and Immigration. The officer that interviewed me was horrible to me. I was treated like some criminal. He was upset that my husband had gone ahead of me because he had global entry and that he felt that because of that, he shouldn't let me in. I am a US citizen for crying out loud! He asked every question imaginable. What do I do, what does my husband do. Why do we spend so much time in the DR etc. and any time I answered he would reply Really? as if I was lieying. It was so nerve wrecking to not know if he was going to let me into the US or not. What a night and day difference when entering the US at the San Juan Puerto Rico airport. They are friendly and treat you with respect there. I was able to get my interview with them even earlier than plan to get it out of the way so I didn't have to come back, that is how super nice they are. How I wish every time we travel to the US, we do it entering Puerto Rico but who knows maybe they are just as mean and I only got lucky when I go there each time.
