Disappointing

Was not advice over two locations. When I finally was called by one of the agents letting me know that helicopter might not fly because of wind and rain. It was almost too late already. Trying to get transportation over to the other side of the island was near impossible so by the time we got there it was too late. I will never book through a party again
