20th March:
The day started off really well, coffee and more virus discussion.
We had been directed to the AirTransat website where a list of cancelled flights had been published as well as the list of homeward bound flights. We have been put on the same Thursday flight as original but a week earlier. So we now leave Thursday 26th on TS 649.
Then as people drifted in to the coffee shop it became obvious that only the WestJetters had no plans. Transatters have been put on next Thursday's plane, ACers are sticking to their reservations until April 11th. So that means that all of us are out of here in the next week. Westjetters are confused and making frantic plans to get planes. It should be noted that WestJet has completely failed their customers and most of them arranged flights back on other airlines because of the lack of communication and difficult contact with the call centre.

Now for the really bad news - the pool is closed down!
21st March:
OK we cheated and jumped bail, rode on the bus, which was only half full, and went downtown to find a local handicraft repair person because Sandy needed his Nepalese necklace adjusted. The whole of the downtown was a bloody ghost town:
As you can see there is nobody around. This area is normally wall to wall people with a bustling public market at this time of day - 1.30pm Saturday.
The pic on the left is the local artisan market usually full of people bused in from the cruise ships, sometimes three in a day will dock. The pic on the right is the local market area of Lazaro Cardenas.
As we walked from our favourite pastry shop we noticed that some of the local bars were shutdown and that restaurants had few customers. People had either left town or stayed indoors.
The day ended with a farewell party in Abe and Ollie's room, our friends of many years who are leaving for Aberdeen SK. tomorrow. Most of the liquor and beer left was demolished.
