Hi Experts. The countdown has really begun (under 60 days

)

Question: Do we have enough time to get in a Cost U Less run if we are arriving on the afternoon USA flight from CLT?

I've been tracking the flights and they are pretty consistant on arrival times 3:20-3:40. We are renting from Dependable and would like to stop at Cost U Less to load up on the way (9 people - 17 days). It looks like the last car ferry is 7:00pm(?). I was hoping to get the car, pick up provisions and get on the car ferry by 6:00.

Can we make it?

OK, half hour drive to CUL, half hour drive to RH (I "padded" alittle as I assume you might not have driven it before) 20 mins for luggage - positive thinking

- 20 mins for car (paperwork etc) and you will want to be at RH probably 10 mins before departure - so leaving you between 30 mins and 50 mins to shop - keep in mind the check out process at CUL could be between 5 mins and 20 mins.

Very good response. We're arrive around the same time and are doing the same thing, but all 8 of us are carrying on, so we will hopefully save some time at the airport. I can see it now: "OK Gang: Let's split into 4 teams of 2; you take liquid provisions; you take snacks; you take meats and cheeses, and we'll take breads and condiments. Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, BREAK!"

Liquids are the easiest to find - take that task
