Update on my grandparents in Chile

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Mar 3 '10, 06:48

Cruise ship is asking all 1,000 people to disembark today or pay for the next trip (back to Buenos Aires). Their original flight back to the States was Tuesday... which was cancelled, right now the airport is only being used for relief in & out.

They're now on a flight from Santiago - Dallas for Friday, arriving back in FL on Saturday. (If it isn't cancelled)

From what we can tell, it sounds like the looting has calmed down. Past couple of days have been stressful... I just hope they make it back here with no incidents.

That kinda sucks that the cruise ship are being that type of asses - Will Hunting Mar 3, 06:58 3
- They're offering them seats back to Argentina if they wish to purchase them - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:04 2
  - Yeah, I think that's kinda crap. The boat's going back to Argentina, take the people with you, otherwise, it's dumping them in a huge natural disaste - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:07 1
    - I agree, but that's why travel insurance is usually a good idea. -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 07:09

  - good thoughts to them. - Andie Mar 3, 06:50 3
    - They've travelled just about everywhere. - Strongbad Mar 3, 06:55
    - and what cruise line? i think it's crappy they are being dumped like that. -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 06:50 1
      - I don't know, it's gotta be one of the bigger old-people friendly ones. Norwegian, Princess, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 3, 06:55
