We had to write off the first day of our vacation because of the typhoon.
Hi,
Does "write off" in the above amount to "call off?" Thanks.

Thanks, Mister.
But I'm still confused. Doesn't "write off" in the introductory sentence mean "cancel" and therefore "call off?"

Not as I read it-- they had to give up on the first day-- it was hopeless. They remained on vacation that day, they just couldn't do anything.
