I got the same e mail and sent it privately to Carol.

The news certainly clarifies many things. The island is not ready for visitors to stay in resorts. If the resorts that are livable are being occupied by residents of the island who are now homeless...and they are asking us to stay away until they tell us it is ready...then i think many of us made the right decisions to cancel our upcoming trips.

We certainly don't need to be a burden.

The ships coming in don't require resort rooms....and they drop much needed dollars...although i believe many will stay on the ships.
