He used this as a lead-in to telling me that we would have to re-book our honeymoon.
Several months ago, we put a good bit of time and energy into researching resort rates, airfare prices, etc., and decided to go to Cozumel for our honeymoon. So we booked the trip, including plane tickets and resort. When we heard about the swine flu, we discussed our options, and decided that we would continue with our honeymoon as planned. We're young and healthy, we can make sure to wash our hands and not touch our eyes/nose/mouth, and Cozumel isn't even part of mainland Mexico. Besides, who wants to completely re-book their honeymoon 10 days before the wedding?
Then today Justin got a call from the resort at which we were planning to stay and they told him that the resort is closing down for the entire month of May. So now, 8 days before the wedding, we're being forced to consider other options. The main contenders at this time are
- Go to a resort at Costa Rica that is owned by the same company; this would require us to rebook our plane tickets. Even though we would not have to pay a rebooking fee, we would have to pay an extra $200 because apparently tickets to Costa Rica are more expensive than tickets to Cozumel.
OR
- Go to a resort is Cancun that is owned by the same company. We could keep the same plane tickets to fly into/out of Cozumel, and the resort would pay to taxi / ferry us from the island to mainland Mexico. But how would this be safer? Why is the Cancun resort, on the mainland, still open, when the Cozumel one, safely secluded on an island, closed?
Meanwhile, we are trying to make sure all our final wedding preparation fall into place.
