Resorts in Key West to reopen this afternoon....

Nothing much to report yet from Key West. Per Hyatt- all their resorts are in the process of opening this morning.. Also- the Galleon reports they will start accepting guests at 11 am today..

Ft Myers, Sanibel, Marco ect most likely won't have any reports until tomorrow.. I talked to the owner of a Bed and Breakfast in Marco and she simply reported slight flooding due to the large amounts of rain- and currently the power is out as a nearby transformer blew- but other than that not really much different from a normal thunderstorm in her opinion... Good news for now!

I'm not concerned. It doesn't appear to be like Charley, et al.

Resort on Cocoa Beach

Per the resort today- no water damage to the villas- minor landscaping issues only- but much of the surrounding area is still dealing with flooding issues..

No damage!

YAY!!!

I just got this as a replacement for our houseboating adventure that will not be, as the St Johns River is far too swollen.

I have to say, RCI was very accomodating - credited exchange fee and got me this resort due to someone else cancelling it.

They credited your exchange fee without their insurance? If yes, that is fantatstic.

YES. I was shocked! Of course, that's what I was going to ask for, thinking that it could take me 10 different calls/reps to get it, but that's what I wanted.

It was almost too easy. No out of pocket to swap to a resort on the beach. Say what you will about RCI, but I like them today!
