Yesterday was awful. Got the call we'd been dreading, our flight to St Lucia for the honeymoon had been cancelled. Well I say call, Virgin chose to ruin my day by text. How charming of them.
Anyway,we went through everything from cancelling the whole thing, to trying to decide on an alternative destination or just moving the dates. Moving the dates didn't end up as a viable option as America selfishly decided to have Thanksgiving, which trebled the cost of everything.
The worst part is that the flight it actually going ahead, Virign are flying the plane out, but they're flying it empty. No one seems to be able to tell me the wise thinking behind this ridiculous decision. The St Luciean government is happy for people to begin travelling there again.
Anyway, I never thought I'd say this but in the end we were saved by British Airways. They ar flying and we could have still gone on Sunday. But we decided to delay the start until Tuesday, give St Lucia time to sort some more bits out. It sounds like most of the island has power now, but water supply is still an issue. But the north of the island sounds like it escaped relatively unscathed, and our hotel says they sustained no damage. So fingers crossed, we'll still have a fantastic holiday.
So anyway, after the stress of yesterday, Mum came over to collect the cats and we went out for dinner and had a few (million) glasses of wine. So today has been spent eating junk and lying around in our own filth. Lovely.
