Hurricane Matthew!

Well!

There may be a chance we won't be flying Tuesday although I am hopeful we will.

Hurricane Matthew is headed to Florida right now after destroying a lot of Haiti and the Bahamas with a death toll of over 100 so far :(

So it goes without saying that my holiday is not important right now.

Obviously I hope everything is fine, that Matthew doesn't cause much damage in Orlando and we get to fly as planned and have power when we're there, of course.

But if not then we have options.

Matthew is the strongest, fastest and worst hurricane Florida has seen for a long time.  It's currently a Category 4 and will hit Orlando at 2am their time so around 7am here tomorrow.  It's expected to last until Friday night/Saturday morning.

It should then hopefully pass and disappear or at least turn into a standard storm by the end of Saturday.

Until Saturday night our holiday is in the air right now.  I've called the travel agent and they've reassured me that if for some reason we cannot fly on Tuesday we have the option to fly the next day, or the day after, or receive a full refund and re book.

The most likely outcome is our flight will be a little delayed as the storm will still be there so our flight will have to be diverted around it, and when we get there there'll be places that are closed, power outages etc so some things we have booked we won't be able to do.

Best case scenario is the hurricane doesn't do as much damage as expected and everything is fine the next day!

Worst case is I have to cancel and book for another time, and tell the kids they're not going on holiday now :(

It's all a waiting game now so I don't want to update the new things I've booked and changed just yet!

Hopefully my next post will be after it's passed and everything is still on, fingers crossed!
