Read the signs

I'm about a week away from our big, expensive trip to Hawaii. Of course, I have very little planned, but I'm starting to be nervous about my parents' Hawaiian curse. This is the fourth time they've booked a trip to Hawaii.
The first 3 trips went up in flames because:

• My grandfather passed away
• I was born
• All flights were grounded (they were booked to leave September 15, 2001)

OK, I'm not very superstitious, but those are some crazy coincidences, right? Right? I mean, why are they in such a hurry to book another trip? But, almost 7 years have passed, and here we are planning again. This is the only plan that involves more people than just the two of them. I
believe it's also the longest trip and encompasses more islands than their previous plans.
So far:

• The intra-island cruise we booked was discontinued in February (travel agent has "never even heard of this happening...")
• Aloha Airlines (on which we had booked 2 separate intra-island flights) went bankrupt.
• Tiki had emergency surgery and now has to go for follow-up while we're away.
  
• Matt's research keeps throwing up bugs that are delaying his thesis. When we booked this trip, he couldn't imagine not being done by February...but he won't be done until end of June (we hope).
• There is a volcano erupting-ish.
  

Do you believe in signs? If you do...how screwed am I? (On a scale of 6-20)
