I am leaving for Grand Cayman on Wed, but in looking at the potential 5 day track area (as of 10pm PST Monday) for Hurricane Ivan, it does not look great:

I'm wondering if I should cancel it. The hotel (Cobalt Coast) has no problem with me moving the dates, but the airline would unless Ivan hitting Cayman is immient, which wouldn't be known until later this week.
I'm thinking I just go and use the DAN trip insurance I bought in case things go awry. I would be bored at work since I have everything prepped for being away for week anyway and would be hard for me to juggle my calendar to get another week off again soon.
Realistically, how many days of diving could I potentially lose if Ivan hit Cayman? Being in California, I have never been through a Hurricane. Judging by the thread on Charley, it looks like they fared pretty well on GC.
So I guess my question is: Am I a total idiot for even trying to go over there this week or should I just take my chances and go for it?
