in the eye of a hurricane

I canceled my flight this morning, so no Cabos san Lucas for me and the lovely wife. We are instead going to beautiful Whistler BC which we hope will not have a hurricane hit. It will be a very different kind of trip, for sure, but still nice.
The airline has not yet canceled tomorrow’s flights, but they have refunded the airline portion of the trip. The kicker is, they won’t refund the hotel yet because they cannot know what the refund policy is like for the hotel because the hotel staff have evacuated. We’ll see in a few days if I will get that refunded automatically too or if I’ll have to fight for it.

Actually, I know a few couples who’ve honeymooned in Whistler. All loved it – though one of my friends mentioned that he wishes they had gone to Hummer instead. Ymmv.
;P

Whistler, hooray!
On your way back, will you be stopping in Vancouver at all? We’ve got some new board games! And I’m not a total nerd, honest!

skippy: We’ll stop in either on the way there or the way back, depending on the availability and such of the place we will eventually book in Whistler. Will totally let you know, don’t worry.

At least you didn’t rebook in Tofino…

We’re doing some gaming & a BBQ tonight – you can make it if you leave now!

Best Alternative Honeymoon Wishes, y’all. For what it’s worth, Northern Vacations are always pretty rockin’, when you consider how damned hot it is towards the Equator. Sorry, though, that things didn’t go as planned. I blame Al Gore.

ShadowNode: if it wasn’t for the water shortage in Tofino that would have likely been my first choice. heh.
skippy: check your e-mail, bud. That goes for you too Joey if you’re reading this.
mns: not just abstractly — Al Gore is directly to blame because the internet he invented [insert something funny here, because this joke is going nowhere].
