Are you connecting in Miami and if so what is your origin?

New York is gonna be fucked up today and tomorrow but Miami should be cleared out by then.

Good luck ! !

No chance at all. Nothing is hitting Miami and it's all suppose to be over Saturday at 4am over 200+ miles from Miami.

Damn! That was quick. I'm flying into Miami from Atlanta. I should get in Miami around noon.

Thanks for the quick replies!

Hey Gdogg, Please let me know if you got a good price out of ATL. I have been catching hell trying to find a decent fare from ATL to POP. I usually use Vacation Express but they are only seasonal to POP.

I'm trying to go maybe labor day weekend or somewhere around that time. Thanks

Dude, I've been searching for a good price since March. Using all types of possible combinations (like Atl to NYC to DR). Couldn't find anything remotely decent (lucky New York bastards, with their JetBlue!). The best price was found buy winning a SkyAuction. I think the final price was $697. I didn't take it because I don't think you can choose the flight. I think they are pissed, they keep sending me emails talking about charging me for cancelling. Good luck collecting cuz it ain't gonna happen. I finally got a flight using expedia for $800 total including insurance.

I think it may be possible. My digital camera is finally working after three years. I also replaced the 4MB compact flash with a 256Mb. So you may get 800 pictures. Plus, I bought about 8 disposables as backup. With all the hell I went through finding a card that was compatible with my camera, you better believe I'll be taking pictures of random sign posts!

(lucky New York bastards, with their JetBlue!).

I agree! Jetblue has $99 fares one-way JFK to STI. I'm thinking it may be cheaper to fly to JFK then take Jetblue to STI. Then Caribe Tours to POP for 70pesos. Shit that's alot of traveling.
