Just amazing!!!
Hello and thanks for all that replied,,, mostly negative minded individuals, but still this is a forum and subject to comments from many with incompetence and numerous frustrations. To start, thanks for those who contributed to my concern, and to the ones that didn't, I will kindly reply as follows:
First- I am not a gringa. I'm a proud LATINA of a Puertorican and Cuban descent.
Second- My husband's name, as registered in his Demographic Records and Birth Certificate is KELBIN. It is typically known to be spelled and pronounced as Kelvin, but its unfortunate that there are others in our countries who didn't have the priviledge of being educated who happen to spell incorrectly, in which case that doesn't apply to respective names in the event that people have been creative throughtout the years and have altered one or more letters on their respective names.
Third- This was 20some years ago and we are careless to find out if this was his parents fault of whoever registered him at that time. Regardless of who it was, he's lived happily ever after with his name spelled with a B. In the 70's that wasn't an issue if you could spell right or not, in the other hand there are other meanings of education than just spelling or the paying for high tuition costs. For those who actually replied to my previous posting ask yourself.... Are you more educated than his family or the rep was? They did lack of knowledge (grammar skills), and you lack of manners. (Not to mention other observations I could address from previous messages).
Fourth- We are married and I haven't met his parents. How many people have you met physically but barely know? ... so if that answers your questions, I haven't seen them face-to-face ... and who are you to critize me that I married an outstanding individual but haven't had the opportunity to meet his parents as they live in another country. I now have the ability to travel and meet them, it is the correct time and there was no need to meet them to have their conscent for marriage.
Fifth- It is only of my concern where I wish to sleep and crash at night. Dominican families are no more "hospitalarias" than Puertorticans. If I decide to stay at a hotel, its because we are in position to surrender its costs for better accommodations. Hispanic families, give more than ten extra miles to accommodate visitors, and I will not tolerate this if it may become uncomfortable for them. There is no need for them to give me their bed with AC for me to be comfortable and them having to sleep on a separate room. They're not insulted and we have discussed this matter and come to an understanding. They live in Santiago, and that is why I wish to stay near this location. Visitors don't mean packing the kids to another room and having X sleep with Y so we can use that extra bed. This practice shouldn't be conducted for visitors, much less when the person is fortunate and has decided to find other meanings to stay.
Sixth and last- Have respect for others. Distinguish when your mouth is to be shut. If you don't have nothing positive to add to a conversation (forum) or within the limits of the subject, click next and follow to the next link that will possibly bring a better open understanding of your comments.
Again, I appreciate the time of those who contributed to my inquiry.
