Everyone at the hotel seems to have weathered Gustav’s arrival and departure. Everyone’s houses are fine and all the staff are safe.
Tennessee Williams and the turtles are all fine and happier now that the storm has passed. The hotel is fine and even has power. (But unfortunately no internet access, CDG is posting this for us via my Blackberry.)
We may have to delay re-opening until Saturday or even Monday to give the staff time to return to their homes and to work. It will depend on when they re-open the city to allow everyone to return. Stay tuned for details.
Thanks for all your good wishes and thoughts.
