Hi all!
I see that Ruth, Randy and the rest are keeping you updated! We can't believe we are here and preparing for our first hurricane. Living in the midwest, you don't really expect to every see one! We are actually managing to have a great time. I feel that we should be more worried or something. Everyone around here is very busy and we are kind of just going with the flow. Staying at Sailview was the best decision ever since Mike and Eileen are inviting us up to their hurricane party and it's much easier to be relaxed when locals are updating you every so often and you know they've been through it before. Yesterday was a great day and we even got some sun between the rain. Spent it at Maho as one of only two couples on the beach.
Their is definitely an energy in the air. We heard they evacuated Caneel and Mike and Eileen talked about us trying to leave, but said they honestly thought we'd be safer with them so we decided to have an adventure instead of heading to chaos on St. thomas or San Juan. We plan to just wander for a bit this afternoon and find a drink somewhere. We have rum in the room if all else fails! We are hoping that this passes through, does very little damage and then we can enjoy a few days of sun (even if we are only eating bologna sandwiches on the beach)! We just heard they are calling for a curfew at 6pm so we are going to go explore, we'll stay safe and see what happens!
Prayers for safety for the islands are definitely welcome!
