There have been no fires in San Luis Obispo county.)Thanks for the correction. Our newscasts on Tenerife either brought the wrong information or my husband understood it wrong. I had already had the good news that we still have lots of chances to see it (thanks to a fellow poster on cruisecritic), but it was too late to edit my original post here. :) Link to comment
