The safety of our guests is of utmost importance to
us. If there is a risk of dangerous weather, we will ask
our guests to reschedule their travel dates whenever
it is safe to do so. Once the Hurricane Warnings
have been issued, we will encourage our guests to
return home if possible. If this is not possible, those
who decide to 'ride out the storm' will be briefed on
our Natural Disaster Protocol. This includes securing
personal belongings, stocking up on food and water,
and moving to a more secure location if the need
arises.
Important documents. Before you start your
voyage, it’s crucial that you have all of your important
documents organized and accessible. Prior to your
trip, be sure to check document expiration dates to
ensure you don’t run into issues while traveling. If
you like having your documents accessible on your
mobile device, try the TripIt app.

• Cash/Credit Cards: Although you may not need
cash during your retreat, it will be helpful to
have if you go on any excursions. US dollars are
