[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why Spanish speaking?[/quote]

My kids are in a Spanish immersion program and visiting Belize last year gave them such a confidence boost (they enjoyed being our translators!)

Vieques is a great idea. I was thinking of Cuelebra. Maybe a couple days in San Juan and then there.

Yours are apparently more outgoing than mine. Ours are pretty solid Spanish speakers, but when we went to a Spanish speaking country, they had no desire to speak to others unless forced to. That's why I was asking- it was kind of a bust for us in the idea of "expose them to Latino/Spanish culture/language", partially because most people in tourist-fronting jobs speak English.[/quote]

We have MANY challenges but extroversion coupled with (over?) confidence works in the case of travel. My older kid was actually a bit disappointed/frustrated when we adults were able to navigate meals and excursion booking ourselves taking advantage of English speakers. I will say, seeing how people reacted to the kids and what they shared and how they opened up made me realize how different the experience is when you don't speak. They'll learn that when we take them to a country where they just can't dive in.[/quote]
