I'm looking at $650 from Pittsburgh at the beginning of August. $550 to Cancun. It's worth the extra $100 to me to avoid the "bag drag".
i got as good as 509 on sw outta PIT to CUN? and that is 2 free bags
ADO bus to playa, $156 M, Ferry $163M = $319M (319M = about 22USD) I believe the taxi from the pier (80M) to BA is cheaper than the airport van. Time 2 - 3 hours.Remember in your calculations paying to get to the ferry, paying for the ferry and then a taxi to your hotel.
Ugh. Driving costs a lot more than just gas, and such an add-on hassle.I'm thinking of driving to IAD ($477 to CZM). 4 hours each way, maybe $60 gas, save $150.

I always worry about making that one hour run to the airport for my "be in that seat or else" plane ticket. One time I had a battery problem, sometimes tires go flat, sometimes weather happens, sometimes traffic gets jammed - ok, maybe not to you, but who knows? Then coming back at the end of a trip, the last thing I want to do is drive 4 hours home, and it's dangerous.True - but $150 is 2 more 2-tank dives!
I also have a friend near DC I haven't seen in awhile.
They paved over the animals in the room floors, but otherwise it's nicer than ever. They do have air & hotel packages on some sites, but they are higher than they were before all of the upgrades.I stayed there when it was Caribe Blu. It's not a fancy resort type place but I really liked it. LARGE rooms, pool, just a few steps to the pier, dive op. on-site. We'd have breakfast at their cafe before leaving for the dives. I've walked to the plaza a few times from there but I'd rather take a cab. Most of the dives were about an hour. If airfare was cheaper I'd go back this summer, but the air-hotel packages seem to be cheaper. I wish Blue Angel would do an air-hotel thing.
Gordon, is Matt still a DM there?
