Just seen on Facebook they are dismantling the top of the Castle in preparation for Dorian.
I don't remember them doing this for Irma, am I wrong?

We were there for Irma it was a pretty unforgettable experience, we were like a comedy film bucketing the pool before checking with pool guy and finding out we could reverse the pump. We had roof damage and a couple of screens so were also lucky. Looks like the new roof is about to be tested.

I really feel for you home and Villa Owners. Such a worry when these hurricanes form. This will be our third.

Me I am just back from Publix and bought the essentials for our survival.

1 loaf of bread
1 slab of water
2 bottle of Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc.

Have to get your priorities right

Helen. I remember offering to take him out for dinner. Seems an age ago, certainly seems more than a year.

I survived Irma with wine and caramel M and Ms. I actually wish we were there, I feel so sorry for our guests, almost guilty in fact.
