In the same boat

Full WestJet credit [ didn't really ask, just phoned, gave my booking reference and the WJ person said .. oh St Maarten, will that be credit or are you booking another destination!!!

Apartment different issue, waiting for an update - booked thru Jim Ruos, it's not Jim, he has to wait to get an update. Guessing that will be a deposit refund

My feelings are simple, if I'm competing with locals and aid workers for scarce resources, best to stay away, not to mention most flights from Toronto are cancelled thru the spring of 2018
