Damn, wish I didn't have finals.....It would cost more in gas for me to get to the nearest airport than the 19 dollar flight to Bermuda......Yeah 19 dollars I could be in Bermuda, then 168 on the way back if i stayed for a few nights....so under 200 roundtrip to Bermuda!?!

just plugged in my car to a calculator online, it will cost me 28.75 cents to get to the nearest airport to fly jetblue, then another 28.75 to come home.  Thats more than your whole trip :(

how on earth are you gonna have 7 hours on the ground?

i do this kinda thing quite a bit (fly somewhere for the day) and getting flights lined up so you have that much time on the ground is really really hard.


either way have fun!

Last time I was there (two years ago) beer was very expensive, except for two kinds, the local kind, and Heineken, which were 2 for 1 dollar american (cans)
mixed drinks vary, some were really cheap, like 1-2 dollars while others were very very expensive. really depends on where you go, for example a night club with all tourist will be very expensive.  Also, what island are you going to?

of course im stuck in burlington so there's nothing. if i was home i could get so much out of jfk.

to everyone taking advantage of a 1 or 2 day trip, you'll prob remember it as much as you remember other vacations or trips you've taken in your life.  spontaneity is the best thing

is there a way you can just look at a full list of all the flights available? testing out every combination from SLC through their flight finder is pretty annoying...
