Say NO to Gustov!

My next big problem? A German is threatening to ruin my Mexican Vacation.

Currently Hurricane Gustov is bearing down on poor Haiti, who is still reeling from last week’s major flooding. There are several tracking models out there predicting Gustov’s path…. which will either hit the Yucatan Pennisula (where we’re staying) or turn northward slightly to pass between Cuba & Mexico.

We do have a few options if the Hurricane lands Sunday; we can reschedule before December, but will have to pay the difference on the vacation (which could be several hundred more each), we could go somewhere else that Sunquest is flying, but have to pay the difference (and neither of us want to go to Puerta Vallarta/Pacific Coast)…. Or if our flight is cancelled and doesn’t fly within 24 hours of the scheduled departure, we can take a full refund

The newest updated model is looking better for us, but things change so quickly over night. We’re in wait and see mode. I’m terrible at waiting, I stress to the max, and last year we had a similar problem 1 week before we left, I lost 5 pounds because I was so nervous…. So perhaps this is not all bad? If the current prediction model holds true (which is won’t, no one really can know) we’ll most likely be delayed several hours or a day…. But that’s why we go for two weeks….. a few days of rain doesn’t ruin a 2 week vacation.

Hmmmm maybe Disneyland IS in our near future.
