WHAT HAPPENS IF IT'S RAINING THE DAY OF OUR SESSION?
Maureen watches the weather closely, and if it looks like it will be rained out, will contact you to see if it would be possible to do your session earlier in the day (assuming it is cloudy). If that doesn’t work, she will reschedule it for a mutually convenient time before you have to leave the island.
