We are scheduled for a week in late October at OBBR---flight from Charlotte on AA. My wife loves Orient Beach. However, she is concerned about this trip and is now saying we should consider canceling. What factors are you weighing in making your decision about visiting this fall? Is it too early to make the decision to pull the plug on this year's trip? What will AA require of us to cancel? How about OBBR?

In the final analysis, if my wife is uncomfortable, we won't go. What would you tell her to alleviate her concerns, or are her concerns spot on?
