our vacatoin is coming up very quickly and it's now hitting me that there could be a hurricane. We have always vactioned in aug and sept but have done cruises so the boat just avoids bad weather. I'm not concerned about sleeping arrangements, meals in restaurants or the plane. We just have to get through the next week without any type of waves off of Africa for us to be safe. Thanks for listening dh doesn't want to hear about the things I can't control anymore
Re: whine:starting to worry about vacation
that would make me nervous too. Think good weather thoughts! When do you go?
I have an irrational "fear" of traveling during hurricane season... so much that we planned our honeymoon on the west coast (Cabo San Lucas), since they typically don't get them like the east coast/Caribbean. Glad I went w/ my gut because that was the year of Katrina and all the other crazy storms. There actually was a hurricane off the coast while we were in Cabo... but by the time it hit the resort it was a mild tropical storm, which brought a half day of high winds and rain.
My FIL goes on vacation every year in Aug/Sept because he gets such good deals with it being hurricane season. They have yet to encounter too much bad weather. But like you said, they go on cruises mostly, so the boats can steer clear of the worst weather.
This is why we picked Aruba for our honeymoon- it usually doesnt get any rain or it just gets kind of windy..
Good Luck and I agree with Telyco- even if its a movie in the hotel room- your not home :-)
