Yes - and boats.  I wasn't too worried until the last update which indicates 
the storm has lost forward momentum and is just drifting out there - just 
barely east of due south of the BVI.  They are predicting that it will resume 
its course in the morning and I sure hope so but anything can happen.  As of 
the middle of this afternoon, the Moorings was planning to let the Friday 
charter starts go for sure - maybe even tomorrow's!

AA is fine - St Thomas.  All we need to do now is make sure there are
islands left to fly into.

Thanks,

Greg

 It does make sense that there shouldn't be a problem with traveling
to the USVI;
 since you have to clear immigration to get in there from the BVI I
wouldn't
 expect to have to clear again when you go back to the mainland or
Puerto Rico.
 We haven't spent much time sailing in the USVI so it would be an
exploratory
 trip for us - not at all a bad thing.  We can't get the boat to the
USVI till
 Monday (charter doesn't start till noon on Sun. and there's tons of
work getting
 all the food/drinks/ice etc. put away).  Best bet is to pick Bruce
up in St.
 John - Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas is reputed to be a large, busy
commercial
 port - a great place for yachts to play dodge-em with the cruise
ships (not
 fun).  There is regular ferry service from St. Thomas to St. John.
We won't be
 there before noon on Monday.

 I just got off the phone with Greg so hopefully AA can do the right
thing here!

 OK...guys the story is this:


 I have just spent the entire day at Federal Plaza with the INS in
extremely
 nasty conditions.  Basically, I was not able to get hold of a travel
permit.
 Vermont apparently has lost my documents including travel permit and
Federal
 Plaza cannot step in.  I cannot drive to Vermont, because they only
do
 postal.  I think I would feel slightly better had I known the
outcome at the
 start of the day rather than at the end.

 Anyway, to cut a long story short, I asked the question of whether I
could
 goto the US Virgin Islands.  The first answer was "no", so I
persisted and
 the second answer was "yes; can I point you to the US in the US
Virgin
 Islands", so feeling very patronised but having achieved something
for my
 day at Federal Plaza I left.

 We now have 3 choices:

 1.    Go to US VI......I definitely cannot go to BVI
 2.    Delay flight a couple of days and hope that travel permit
comes
 through (which it should because my lawyer)
 3.    Got to USVI and get permit sent on if it comes through

 G:  Please can you see about changing my flights to the US VI.  You
are
 better at dealing with airlines than I am.....pretty please!
