Will do Still have plenty of time to plan (May 2019).

Right now I'm busy keeping my house from going underwater from hurricane Harvey. I can't even get to the airport. Houston is drowning. I need a boat.

It's already packed I actually will be flying to Wilmington NC this Friday (no joke) to see sand-tiger sharks in Hyde/Markham wrecks. I have booked the trip with Aquatic Safaris

A reality check. I live in Signapore and work in Indonesia. Garuda, similar to other Indonesian domestic airlines commonly cancels flights without much notice. They change departure gates without any notification... last week, my wife's Garuda,flight departed Denpasar 3 hours late, while Wings and similar airlines were spot in schedule.

Silk Air cancelled several flights last year and the year before the same . Flight are often arriving and departing too late from Manado. I think this is true for any airliner.

Thank you for the well wishes.

I consider myself lucky (for now) being still above water here in Lake Jackson (LJ), 50 miles (80 km) south of Houston, while to the west, north & east of LJ are flooded. The south of LJ is the Gulf of Mexico. So, LJ is becoming like an island. We can't go anywhere, but stay put. The office in Houston, where I work is closed for the whole week.

And it's not over, yet. Although the rain had stopped, the flood water will still flow down from Houston to the gulf through the already flooded rivers for the next few days through LJ. This is worse than the last Hurricane Ike (2008).

Thanks, Bill!

I think the worst is over. It's clean up time. Lots of tree limbs scattering my yards.
