CECAA850 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks all for the well wishes. The last text I got stated that the airport was down. He also stated that he's now staying in the basement of the hotel with 200 of his newest friends. I'm sure he'll have a bunch of stories and pictures when he returns. At least neither one of them was hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 15, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted September 15, 2014 Was just watching a new story about this, it's moving very slow, only about 15mph. It's got to be an adventure they will never forget that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 What an ordeal. I got a text from my brother today. Basically the Mexican government is doing nothing. They have gotten a vehicle somehow and are going to try to drive to LaPaz. From there catch a 16 hour ferry ride across the gulf of California to Mazatlan and from there try to get a flight stateside. Good golly.

That's Mexico, think progress in the US takes forever, they have a different level of slow down there. Think Mexico is slow try Jamaica, there almost going backwards. Once we sat in a restaurant/bar in Jamaica for a couple hours eating and drinking, it was time to leave so we asked for the check, no one had a clue or really appeared to care even if we walked out. It took the manager to come ask us what we had to give us a bill, and he really didn't seem worried about it either. We told the cab driver about it and he laughed and said "no problem, just a situation, it's Jamaica mon". Well they surely cannot forget there honeymoon, I wonder if they even got much honeymooning done, don't sound like it ? If the rest of there marriage is going to be like this it's going to be an adventure ! Edited September 17, 2014 by dtel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Back in ’85 i was in Hurricane Gloria. In the Coast Guard and was doing some time in Yorktown. I was disappointed because i slept through it…my first and only hurricane. I was taking a cruise a few years ago and we encountered a cyclone…can’t recall if it was Force 9 or Force 10 on the Beaufort Scale--the winds were actually 70+mph; however, the waves were only 7.5 meters (22’ - 23’) (I prefer rougher seas).

BigStewMan Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Just got a text that they are OK! Glad to hear that Carl -- hopefully, they get their transportation out of there soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 18, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted September 18, 2014 Had to go back and read, so they got there about a day or so before it hit. I guess from the minute they got there all the locals were preparing so they never even had one normal day the whole trip. I hope there ok, it's a lot to go through when you were expecting a great time and not one day turned out as planned. Glad there safe at least which is probably how they feel, they may need a break when the get back home from all of this. Hopefully they laugh about this 30 years from now on there Anniversary .
