The Internet and Gonzalo

Well, our vacation extended a few days because we couldn't leave St Bart's because of hurricane Gonzalo. One ferry went out at 8:00AM. Then nothing by air or ocean. Luckily (?) getting to St Matrin would not have helped. The delayed Delta flight ended up canceling. 

They had us change villas (and the owner was pissed the new people insisted on this as a hurricane was bearing down).
.
We rode it out yesterday with out power. The craziest moment came during the eye of the storm. So crazy before and after, yet silent in the middle. Double so since the was no power. Just silence and downed trees and the odd cat or bird.

We have a journey tomorrow going from here to the French side of St Martin, then a cab to the Dutch side, then a plane to Atlanta before heading home.

Thank goodness for a greatTrevor sitter.

We are on a plane tomorrow to the wrong airport because the ferry isn't running- the harbor is closed.
