Hurricane vs. Wedding, part 2
I talked to Erin today. They're still trying to figure out what to do with the wedding. At the risk of being a pessimist, this picture seems to make the outlook for Gulf Shores fairly clear.
Delta will change our flight without a change penalty, as long as we finish travel by the end of March and book the new tickets by the end of September. But, what that really means is that they will credit us the price we paid for our tickets. The Delta tickets to get to Nashville (if Erin & Mike move the wedding there) are already 2x what the tickets to FL originally cost, because the flight is now just eight days away.
She's going to call tomorrow with their decision about what to do (keep it in Gulf Shores, move to TN, or something else entirely).
Incredibly, Tropical Storm Jeanne looks like it could become a hurricane and could hit Florida. I don't know how Florida can withstand another hurricane this year. Scary.

(Unfortunately thet NO longer have a local ticket office in Palo Alto T&C by Hobee's) Rescheduling face to face sometimes works better and you may be able to get a reduction on the Nashville tickets.
If you still have the original wedding invites, bring them as corroborating backup.
