Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

I feel your pain, we leave the house at 6pm for the 3 hour drive to the airport, then we arrive Beef at 6pm the following day. Its great to live on the left coast!

We leave in the wee hours of 5/14 at 12:27am out of LAX, change O'Hare for SJU and get there at around 3pm. Jump on Seabourne to Beef at 5:25pm for a 6:15pm arrival...we'll probably miss happy hour but I just can't wait to be at Cane Garden Bay - spending one night and day there and then getting on for our sleep aboard the evening of the 15th. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

I also get about 5 hours between flights at SJU with 5 kids. Another family is going with us. We'll have our 15, 13, and 8 yo's and their 15 and 13 yo's. 5 hours in SJU is going to suck. Thanks Cape Air.

Was not very happy spending over 2 times what I used last time despite being low season. I booked on the first possible day. Felt like I was hosed by AA for redeeming the miles.

Glad we get a full beach day before sleepaboard! And yes....it is getting harder and harder to use miles with ALL of the airlines.
