Disney Magic and Hurricane Gustav

SO excited and cannot hardly wait! My husband is self-employed (mobile mechanic) and he says he is having to "flog" himself to get his work done! It is sugarbeet harvest here in Wyoming so he is keeping a bunch of older-than-the-hills trucks running for the farmers for one more year (some of these trucks are 4 trucks taken apart and put together to make one truck!) I got a new digital camcorder and have been practicing up! We have been to Europe before but never for this length of time. Unfortunately, the dollar is so bad it's taking a beating. Travel sites are warning about exchanging your dollars for Euros and no place in Rome will take dollars anymore. It is VERY expensive using taxis or shuttles. The train is fairly cheap but when you have a lot of luggage it is not very convenient (lots of bums and panhandlers too.) Train is safe and fast but not for everyone. I got an email yesterday that there are still unsold rooms on a 12 day coming from Barcelona to Florida and an interior room was 399.00! It was around Thanksgiving but I think you missed the big travel rush dates. Vacationstogo.com always has last minute unsold cruises. Mary

The Disney Magic is made its eastbound Panama Canal crossing yesterday and so is back in the Caribbean. Consequently, given the location of Hurricane Gustav, it will be interesting to see what, if any, changes the Disney Magic makes to avoid encountering Hurricane Gustav.

It looks like the Magic did manage to avoid most of the impacts from Hurricane Gustav and not has a special 5 night Bahamian cruise September 1-6, 2008 prior to entering dry dock. So, by the middle of next week, the Disney Magic (and Disney Wonder) could have to alter itineraries to avoid Tropical Storm Hannah/Hurricane Hannah, if forecasts are right for both strength and location. We’ll keep you updated as more is known.

But you can talk about it here or at http://hurricane.com/
