*Hurricane* Wilma (wow that was quick!) is heading for.. Florida.
Noooo!!! - my twin daughters and grand daughter are oin holiday there.
And I'm not. NOOOOO!!!!!!!!

From the discussion: Wilma...the 12th hurricane of the season...ties
the record for most hurricanes in a season set in 1969.



Dave,

Iam leaving for Florida tomorrow (via New York overnight). I got in touch
with the insurance company whether they would pay for a cancellation (on the
villa paid for) in the event of even a Cat 5 Hurricane (which I dont think
Wilma will be).

I think I knew the answer and was not disappointed.

No, they dont pay for an act of god - but if there was a storm at Heathrow
that prevented me from leaving the UK - they would pay!

Anyway I'll try to keep usw posted.

Phil
