Sadly no one (and by no one, i don't mean this board, just the media/US Gov) seems to be concerned with the Virgin Islands. ALL of those islands are practically leveled, resorts gone, homes gone. Tourism is their #1 industry, and it will take years to get things back to a normal state.

Was just reading that several cruise lines are sending their ships all across the Caribbean with relief supplies.

As of Friday the US military was in process of deploying relief from of Puerto Rico.

I would not expect talk of long term plans until the immediate humanitarian situation is stabilized.

The hub doesn't look too bad, at least centrally.

A lot of tilted spiral bushes.

I know that the UK is already sending out relief to any of its islands in the area and we had already parked a Royal Navy ship close by to help once things calmed down.

Caribbean Beach Resort... A little wear and tear, but much better than its namesake.

I remember all my friends going to Catholic school hated their uniforms. Lots of money raising potential there just to be out of them for a week.

Exactly.. imagine if every school with a uniform dress code did this!

Actually, I should add this-

To all Parents of School Aged Children and PTA members-

One creative thing that our school has done is to create "out of uniform days" for extra donations above what the individual classrooms are doing. (Right now this is for Harvey, but I'm going to make sure we do another week for Irma too)

All week we have different themes- today is "school appropriate out of uniform choice"
Tomorrow- "spirit wear"
Wednesday- high school spirit wear.
Thursday- college team spirit wear.
Friday- NFL team spirit wear.
$5 per day.

Please suggest something similar if your schools aren't doing this. It's a fun way to raise money . We are expecting 100% participation.

My youngest's elementary school did this last week for Harvey. She missed most of it since we were at Disney and didn't go back to school until Thursday (and then forgot about the fundraiser). Friday was dress in red day for The Red Cross. The school asked for only $1 per day.

Oh that's wonderful!

Imagine how happy parents would be if every school had a uniform dress code.

It definitely makes life easier. Never arguing about what the kid is going to wear to school.lol

I wouldn't mind waiting out a hurricane in the Castle Suite.

Widespread but relatively minor damage across Poly - cleanup already in progress...

From 7:00 am this morning - second floor Casitas 3, CSR:



Granted, I did not venture more than 20' away from my room door in either direction, but things look pretty good. CM's did a great job battening down the hatches yesterday.

Is that the walkway to Boulder Creek? Glad to see little damage - one of my home resorts.

Any word on the roof leak at the Lodge?

So when do you think resort guests will start getting ancy? Sunday was acceptable but I can imagine by this afternoon people will start getting stir crazy. There is only so much of a hotel room one can take.

Find a trash bag and some trash cans .. any help would be appreciated and teach your kids that their is good in all of us ..
