Margie......thanks for the notes.......have been busy calling Mexico.....finally reached the organization through a website.......and they did return my call (from a site in Penn). They are moving the group tomorrow morning by bus from the eastern part to Merida.....more on the western side. Still seems risky, but at least it is a move. Hurricane intensifying is not comforting......Hoping that tomorrow is not too late as well.
Merida looks to be the largest city in the Yucatan, with some fancy hotels, freeways, an airport - and all on the west side of the Yucatan, but not on the coast. Looks very, very safe. I don't think you need to worry any more.
