“We are very lucky that the Mexican government (said) that these permits are valid until the end of the year, so it won’t effect the dates when we are going down there. I mean, from a work perspective, I would say we’ve done all the work, we were ready to go, all that’s going to happen now, like everything else, I’ve been busy cancelling hotel rooms and cancelling flights.”

Seiler says they will just need to wait until it gets closer to September to re-book all hotel rooms and flights.
