My Mom & Dad are on vacation right now, in of all places, Cancun. I've tried numerous times to call them, but there is no answer at the hotel. My sister-in-law even tried having the operator make the call & no answer. I've searched the Internet & can't find any info (other than at travel web sites) on their hotel & my Dad's cell phone doesn't work down there. UGH! Don't they think to call us? (I'm not mad, just worried) After this, we need to set up some kind of emergency phone call system. Anyway, they're staying at the Secret Capri Riviera in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I'm hoping they've been evacuated, since Wilma isn't due to hit until tomorrow. I would really appreciate any & all prayers & good wishes.

Originally Posted By bloona I too can understand your concern xx. I am guessing they are taking all the precautions needed to stay safe and maybe no one is at the hotel as they have moved somewhere safer? Keep us updated x

The good news is that the people there are great and I'm sure your parents will be well taken care of. The news here is South florida was that 20,000 visitors had been flown out of Cancun/Cozumel during the past 48 hours. If they didn't get out on a flight I would be they are at the airport which is a little futher inland than resort row.

Originally Posted By trailsend just heard on Fox that 1,000s of tourists are in shelters. So, I'm sure as soon as signals get strong ~ you'll hear from them.

Originally Posted By wendebird Thanks everyone for understanding. It does sound like they were either evacuated, or tried to get out via plane. I would like to think, if they flew out, they'd call us. So I'm thinking they were evacuated, especially since they just got there Wednesday afternoon! I was just trying to find out how badly Mexico was hit. From what I read, it wasn't too bad, but the coverage is still spotty since it just hit a few hours ago. Thanks again, I so appreciate your kind words. It reassures me a great deal.
