Any information on condition would be appreciated.




Wilma "stalled" over Cancun for more than 24 hours. Some hotels in the
Hotel Zone were flooded up to the third floor. From AP photos I've
seen the town has been totally trashed. Right now they are working on
evacuating American tourists out of the town. It's too soon to tell,
but my guess is that things won't be up and running at that or any hotel
for several weeks.


What I'm hearing on the news here in Latin America is that the hotels
are hoping to be up and running for Christmas. There's been extensive
damage to many of them and evaluation for repair and/or
demolition/replacement has not even begun to take place yet.
