OK. Cyclone Winston, you really know how to derail a plan. A category 5 storm...biggest in the history of the islands, is over the airport at which our staff were to land today. All international flights in and out of Fiji are cancelled. Huh.
Good news: We heard from one of our Fiji staff, and they've weathered the storm. There was good warning for this cyclone as it's traced its chaotic path around the Pacific, picking up momentum as it goes.
The question: When should we reschedule the flights, where should our staff stay now that they're all packed up, when will Fiji be in good enough shape to receive our 3 travelers?
I wish I could be with our Fiji staff to make sure they're OK and sense how they are feeling. I don't want to hand them 3 more people if it will bring stress to them right now. (And I could help with the clean up!)
I'm sure the students will be overjoyed to see our 3 staff at the meeting this afternoon. Won't they be surprised!
