Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[JaHoney 3]

Yeah JG, i read that in the Gleaner too, that was unfortunate. It does suck that our fares are so high, i check all of the websites for a cheap flight, but no matter what i cannot seem to get a good rate. Domestic flights i normally use priceline, but with international i dont want to be at the mercy of the airline to fly at whatever odd hours they decide to give.

Me too. What about Labor day weekend, y'all?

Sounds good to me!!

When is the NY carnival?

it's over Labor Day weekend every year - There is a ton of stuff that goes on every day / night, and it ends with the Parade on Monday - which I don't know if I would do again, lots of problems the past few years at the Parade.

But Irie Jamboree is a reggae show that Sunday http://www.iriejamboree.com/

Sounds awesome! I'm definitely in. It's funny my friend was just asking me yesterday if I had an Labor Day plans yet.

What happened at the parades, Sus?

It is a mob scene of people - Last year there was a shooting a block from where we were - the year before someone tried to jump onto a float and someone on the float shot him - Too many people, too much alcohol around, and too hard to get out of the way when there is an issue.

Sus,

I agree, i was trying to book for October, as i try to get to JA every 3 months, while me and SO figure out what were doing, and i swear the fares were pretty outrageous. Now is it me, or did it used to be that the earlier you book your flight the cheaper it should be? And then im scared about going in october since they are stating this year is supposed to be a bad hurricane season.

Anyhoo, My SO gets his stitches out of his noggin today and seems to be sounding and feeling alot better...YAY, so when i see him next week, he will be functional and not requiring me to baby him the whole week...LOL

I swear, Honey, it has something to do with the midwest too. I can't ever seem to find the really great deals people elsewhere seem to get. I think part of it is our connecting flights.

Well, woo hoo.....I just made our bus tickets to Chicago in November. We are going to stay with Mindy for 5 nights. I'm so excited. $27.50 for both of us to go round trip. How cool is that?

On a sad note.....this sickened me today in the Gleaner. WTH is wrong with people? http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/200...lead/lead1.html

Hey JG,

Have you every tried Worry Free Vacations? I have gotten great deals in the past for air only with them. They are a bit high these days with the price of gas but they are still lower then the main carriers. Plus they are a direct flight.

Hello friends!

HoneyChild I'm so glad your honey is ok and will be doing great for your trip down!

JaEnglish you took some fantastic pictures at the festival. Thanks for sharing.

Once again I'm working these 14-16hr days and not able to get on the site too much to keep up with everyone.

Dwayne hasn't gotten the visa yet but we're busy trying to figure out when he will come up. It may not be until August. All of a sudden everyone wants him to finish family and home business stuff. Like they didn't believe he would be leaving!!
