Oct 27th, preparing for Hurricane Sandy

Incredible, absolutely incredible. Here we are excited about leaving on the trip of a lifetime and now we're faced dealing with hurricane Sandy. I hate putting my trust in the weatherman, but for sure there's going to be some significant type of storm that we are going to have to deal with. Our currently scheduled flight is to depart Philadelphia on Wednesday at 8 AM. The question is, will the hurricane disrupt the air traffic along the East Coast to the point of delays and cancellations of scheduled flights. We basically have three options; wait and see if our regularly scheduled flight is available, re-schedule now and fly down several days early or drive down the coast and arrive in Orlando at our regularly scheduled time. It certainly wouldn't be prudent to wait and find out our scheduled flight was canceled. At the moment, Linda and I have decided to look at this as an additional adventure before our trip. I have rented a car and our plans are to start driving sometime Monday. The goal would be to arrive in Charleston Tuesday, do some sightseeing, spend the night and then drive on into Orlando the next morning. Stay tuned to how it plays out.
