Thanks all! I'm on the accelerated cruise booking training plan. I'd love to book one for you, Eugene, but it's an amazingly complex process. Stick with Linda - she's a booking machine.

Editing to add: I'm starting to get info from our connection with the volunteer groups who worked on rebuilding D'Iberville, MS following Hurricane Katrina. I heaved a sigh of relief to read the eastern shore area near Ocean City, MD had relatively minor flooding and beach erosion. I've got my fingers crossed Olivia came through in relatively good shape.

We have a one square mile town. Those on the east side have not fared as well as we did. These storms, at the micro level, sure are random.

Cheers, Anne
