[nagdu] [Nyagdu] Question about access when traveling to the CaribbeanIsland that accepts service animals into the country but notthe resorts

[Brett Sample]

Buddy hit the nail on the head, their Country their rules. However if you have clients that want to go to the Caribbean, Suggest they go to Puerto Rico or US Virgin Islands, we go there often, every couple months or so, and never have problems.
