Anybody cancelling Grand Isle trip?
I am contemplating cancelling my Grand Isle trip for early June due to the uncertainty of the oil spill. I spoke to some folks that have are already cancelling plans and have heard they are getting less than gracious responses. Refusal to cancel and refund deposits to not answering calls or emails. Anybody else hear any of this?

We got word this evening that oil washed up on Fourchon beach today. Not tar balls, not a sheen, but as they described "heavy oil". Not sure what will happen next. Here is a link to one story:

i dont know who you rent from but the people we rent from said if the fishing gets closed while we are here they would refund the extra days if we wanted to leave early... trout is just starting to turn on... i would not cancel if I were you

man, its a good thing we were told by "oil experts" on this site, that this would not hit land or marsh, and would be cleared up by august with NO LASTING EFFECTS |
Man, I know that there will be some people down there hurtin' for a buck, but if I'm going to go, I need to be able to get my fishing fix. I'm not cancelling my trip to GI in July till I know for sure I can't fish. I have an Offshore charter and will also be inshore/surf fishing for a week. It's a shame that it's come to this. I feel badly for all who enjoy and have livelihoods where the affected areas are. But if I can't fish, I'm cancelling and going elsewhere for my vacation.

I canceled my trip and have changed my mind back and forth a few times.......Made some calls to reserve a room AGAIN, and everyone is booked up.....was hoping to get out there before the oil, but looking at the pics Ray just put up, I'm not sure it's gonna happen.........I wouldnt cancel you reservations until you are POSITIVE you arent going.........

Arties is still open why would you want to cancel?

Elmer’s Island is just west of Grand Isle. Wayne Keller, Executive Director of the Grand Isle Port, called to advise that oil has hit the beach on Elmer’s Island during the night. Wayne has been working furiously with the National Guard to temporarily close the open breaches on Elmer’s Island. He also reports that they finished closing the second breach late last night. These breaches were the result of hurricanes and strong storms over the past few years and were openings from the Gulf, across what used to be beach into the marsh on the back or northern side. The closure of the breaches should protect this large marsh on the backside of the beach.

We are still planning on being there the first weekend in June.
