This is not the day to be working. As some of you may now, there is a category 4 hurricane in the Caribbean. It's projected to impact Jamaica tomorrow. And we have quite a few travelers there and traveling to there in the next couple of days. The St. Lucia airport (UVF) was closed yesterday as the hurricane passed by but appears to have reopened today and flights are on schedule. This worked out really well that I'm working today. I wasn't scheduled, but I wanted to hang out with Sara on Wednesday so I took Wednesday off and took this Saturday from Rori. Rori might do ok but she really hasn't had to deal with these before. I've been here almost 7 years and have been through a lot of hurricane seasons and customer service issues. If they're not going to have a manager here, at least it's me.

Going hiking with Tim tomorrow. Well, we're hanging out and I'm going to try to make it into hiking. I have VERY few friends that will participate in outdoor activities. He has a lot of stamina which is good because then we can push ourselves a lot farther. Although, I think he does it less for exercise than he does for fun.

I just found out my cousin, Kristy, and her fiance are moving to Petaluma in October. Her fiance, Matt, is a fireman and works in San Rafael. All of his and her family live down here. She doesn't work. I don't know what she is going to do with herself up there. I live in San Jose so I think that's an hour or so from Petaluma. I can go up and see her sometimes but that's way way up past San Francisco and Sausalito. I remember riding up to Petaluma with TJ before and it was a long, boring drive.

I guess that answers the email I just sent you asking if you're working today. Good luck.

I heard about the hurricane on the news and thought that it may be creating problems for trips that you booked.

Petaluma is 45 minutes north of SF and is indeed a boring drive. From what I remember, there's not much to do there (although, they do have a nice downtown area; and the bowling alley).

Okay, then it's like an hour and half (or thereabouts) from my house depending on traffic. Neither of them are very avid bowlers. It's an odd move (in my opinion). He hated the commute (Scotts Valley to San Rafael once a week, 3 days on 4 days off). It's a lot cheaper and that seems to be the motive for the move (along with the reduced commute).

Wow, that must really be hard having to deal with the hurricane stuff. I remember back in '05, I worked for a cancer charity, and about two months into working there, Hurricane Katrina happened. It was so hard to get people to donate money, because everyone was giving all they had to the Red Cross.
