What time is your flight? We've got a 2:30 flight. You'll recognize me by the two toddlers yelling "let's go back to the beach!"

Minde- We are leaving tomorrow also :( The lady at the car rental place mentioned that Sunday starts Carnival and there will be events going on in the harbor on STT and to leave extra time to get to the airport. How much time are you planning on leaving? Have mixed feelings about missing our plane :...

I mailed two packages through USPS flat rate (1 box and 1 envelope). Both packages took less than one week to arrive. We paid the extra 75 cents for tracking and thought it was well worth it.
We also packed mac and cheese, oatmeal packets, ground coffee, and all-in-one laundry detergent.

Thanks everyone. I'd knew you'd pull through with great suggestions. Well, Woody's doesn't seem my style either. And last time I was at the Beach Bar it was quite loud and crazy, which is good if that's what you're out for, but I just want to spend some quality time with a friend I don't get to see ...

Good Place for a Girl's Night Out?

I'm trying to plan a Girl's Night Out for myself and a friend during my upcoming trip (Woo Hoo!!). Can anyone recommend a good place where two thirty-somethings will be safe, have a good time, being able to hear each other (read- not too loud) while getting a drink or two? We'll be coming from Fish ...

We seem to be in the same situation- our first ride on the car ferry too.
Is there a post somewhere with directions from STT to the entrance to the ferry? It's hard to tell by looking at the map which is the easiest/quickest way to go.
Please post pics- we'll be doing a few days after you :D

We leaving on a Tuesday, so while the airport will be less busy, the rush hour traffic will be worse. But, we will likely beat rush hour leaving so early (but I do think 5 am is unreasonable). I'm thinking 6:30 am is a good pick up time- 45-60 minutes for the car ride, then 1 1/2 to 2 hours for the ...

Thanks so much CantWait4STJ. The car service wanted to pick us up at 5 am to catch a 9:20 am flight and that sounded crazy to me. At that time of morning it only takes us 45 minutes to get to JFK and provided we know where to go (terminal 8) we won't have to waste time running between terminals like...

Terminal 8- thanks so much!

Yes, we'll be on the nonstop. How early do you arrive at the airport to get on the flight- it's scheduled to depart at 9:20am. Is two hours early too much?

Question for those who travel on AA from JFK

The last time we traveled on American Airlines from JFK to STT we got dropped off by the car service at the wrong terminal. This time we will have 2 toddlers and 2 car seats in tow and walking the distance between the terminals will be unrealistic. Please help me remember: Do we fly out of the inter...
