Kim,
With regard to the airport, both arriving and departing, you indicated your Delta flight was less than half full and you were the only flight being processed. Hard to guesstimate, I know, but what do you think it would be like if there were multiple large planes arriving as is typical during high season weekends?
Thanks for your trip report as I know how much you hate doing them and I also know you hate to deal with negativity. I hope the December family trip is at least this easy and I’m sure, by then the Island will be in even better shape than it is now.
