Went to Abaco last night with friends from out of town. My guests had also visited there, several times in past years. There were scores of people that had come for the Friday spectacular of the falling of the rose petals, as has been publicised worldwide. Almost everyone left in droves by 00.45, as there was no music since midnight, and absolutely no flowers appeared, as everyone expected at the anticipated hour of 2400. It almost seemed as though they wanted everyone to leave. A lot of very disappointed, non-returning customers, as they did not offer an explanation, nor an apology. Myself and my guests shall never visit Abaco again either.
