Wow Given the path of this storm could anyone design a worse itinerary!
I can just hear the complaints though no trip to Hell, no swimming with

Let's all say a word however, for each of those ports and anyone living
in Havana or the Gulf coast Gustav could be a bad one given half a
chance.

Hi Everyone,
