does anyone know how things faired down in Santa Clara Cuba with Hurriane Ike. There was extreme damage in Camaguey with the resorts all closed and no phone or way to get into the area by land.
Pretty sad. Thankfully the death toll for Cuba was low.
We are leaving Oct 4th for the Melia Cayo Santa Maria.
Hurricane Ike in Santa Clara?
sorry I just realized this is the wrong santa Clara!
Hurricane Ike in Santa Clara?
I know that the flight to Santa Clara leaving from Toronto on September 13th has been cancelled and anyone that is down there now are being evacuated very early on Saturday morning. Apparently there flight is leaving there at 3am. I am due to go to Santa Clara on the 20th of September and I spoke to my travel agent and so far everything is OK for the 20th so far. The evacuation there does not mean that there was a lot of damage but there is no electricity and no water. I was told to contact the agent on the 16th to see if there are any changes. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that we will be able to go. But just a note to anyone who has a trip booked and maybe affected by this and are leaving from Canada - your tour operator probably has a Hurricane Policy. Air Transat has one and it is listed on there website. There are four options. Check it out if you are not aware of it. I was also told that Holguin was hit really bad and will probably need about 3 weeks to recoup from the damage.
Holguin in fact is in bad shape!
