Booked flights from DTW for April on AA few months back for $380.... thought that was good from DTW compared to what I've been paying the last couple of years. Darn flights have dropped to $294....
This year looks like flying On Tuesday's is very cheap.
IslandGirl what part of Michigan do you live in ??
Time for me to go snowblow again... 7 more inches last night around Detroit.

I can't remember which city IslandGirl lives in (might be Dearborn?) but we are all from the same area. I met IslandGirl last May. We live in Lincoln Park.
Cptnkirk, Thanks for the update on flights out of DTW. I haven't booked yet for May but maybe I should soon! We are planning on May 16th-23rd so our paths may finally cross. I booked Gallow's Point but have been waiting on airfare.

Islandgirl.. $246 including taxes on Spiritair if you use the 35HOURS in the promo code. One stop each way, looks like flying Tues-Thurs gives the best deals. Good luck!!

Islandgirl & Brenda,
Found one more downriver friend. Mahobayb is from Riverview, she posts at times. Really a small world. Maybe a forum party in the future coming to Michigan.

I read this right before leaving for work one day and I forgot that I wanted to respond. Maybe we can do some kind of get together going on in the summer months for the Detroit area people? Now that I'm thinking more, Gary and I could host it at our home. We have an in-ground pool we could hang out by and have drinks and munchies. Just a thought....

Here is a pic to tempt you. Unfortunately, it doesn't look very nice right now. A few days ago, you could barely tell there was a pool, there was so much snow on the cover

. I can't wait to be warm again!

Please bring back some warm and sun... I'm tired of the single digit temps. Enjoy !
fantastic air rates, I'm jealous. Our next trip is not until April. Going to be a long 2 months in Michigan.

Hi everyone from Michigan and Captn.
Thanx for remembering me Rob.
Captn, we will be on island same time as you I believe. You are welcome to our air-fare anytime.
Brenda, get bookin' girl, looks like we will see you there too. Maybe we can plan a party at your place when we see you at the Beach Bar.
Islandgirl and CruzanChris, If anyone can find a way to "our island paradise", it is the two of you.
I know we have more Michigan peeps around here.
Parafins?
Our new friend hotrod 270?
Who else?
Hey Captn, you can be that far?
