I’m flying into Orlando for a Convention on Tuesday and leaving Satruday morning... I guess I should bring a raincoat? I’m coming from Colorado and have never experienced a tropical storm or huricane. I guess it should be an exciting week.....:)
A couple of gentle suggestions--If Irene's forecast continues to look ominous for Orlando Wednesday, stock up on some extra non-perishable snacks and water in your hotel room. Hotel upper floors mean lots of stairs if the lights go out and the elevators don't work, and wind speed is higher with increased altitude.
You might want to check and see if planes are still flying in and out of there.
