I'm going to be arriving at Miami International at 5am on a redeye in August, and my next flight leaves at 2:40 pm. Any tips with what to do with the time? So far the options I've gathered are best summarized by: 1. Go to an airport bar (I'm not really a bar type guy) 2. Buy an AA Admirals...

For me, "travel insurance" entails three parts, of which your question is directed at the first, reimbursement for the cost of travel if the trip is interrupted or canceled, for various reasons including personal illness, missed flights, or bad weather. I try to plan my flights for enough time...

Can't delete the thread, but I've gotten a satisfactory response already!

Thanks Matt and welcome to the board. I had the pleasure of visiting the Juliet briefly while she was moored in Miami between trips. I'd love to do a trip with them someday.

You've grasped the point of the thread. I need to brace myself for the worst, while hoping for the best. I think it is interesting to meet someone new, but there are interesting people and then there are interesting people. Sounds like you were lucky vlad. Were you strangely relaxed at bed...

For those who have traveled solo and roomed with a random person, what have been your best and worst experiences with them? I'm doing a liveaboard solo for the first time later this year, and need to get my head in the proper frame of mind. My friends' best advice, which reflects upon the...

I'm due to be aboard later this summer. Could you tell me if any land visits are typically done during the week? Thanks.

Could you comment on the utility of aiming a mirror vs trying to flash an aircraft without specifically aiming it? I have a grid aiming device on my mirror, but it doesn't seem to have held up well, though the mirror itself is still functional. I usually carry a small mirror, a 7 ft yellow...

Have a great trip. For pics, try the Naval Historical Center online photo library.

I am also curious. If a rough crossing is predicted, can the guests vote to make the run with the Capt holding veto power (if it will be unsafe rather than uncomfortable)? I'm booked with the boat later this year and am really hoping to make it to Little Cayman, and am wondering what conditions...

Funny, I'm set to do an Aggressor trip this year, having done the Caribbean Explorer II this past year on their Saba/St.Kitts itinerary. I really enjoyed the trip, and posted a report somewhere on this board. I thought Explorer Ventures did a great job. The diving off Saba was a highlight, as...

Seconded.

I am sad to hear this news!

Okay, I'll have a go at this as the question has gone unanswered for a while. My understanding, incorrect as it may be, is that many boats affiliated with the larger "name brands" are franchises, and there can be great variability in size, age and amenities within a given fleet and between...

I'm sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience, and I'm glad that you have shared it with us. Could you provide some additional examples of the failings in the food, the boat, and the crew? Was safety compromised in any way? A trip to Fiji has been a dream of mine, and I've considered...

Thanks DSR-3, greylion. I've been looking into that Thursday night flight. I'm afraid economy would be my lot. I pray my neighbors don't try the beer and Indian food method or I'll have to pry the oxygen mask out of the ceiling.

A month of internetting along and it seems like the options are sub week charters in places like Australia or Thailand, or living on dry land. Fiji is a good idea Mossman et al, I've looked into the Air Pacific options out of LAX overnight, maybe even getting out one day early. Checked into...

Well, fate has made up my mind for me. I called to book the trip, but the trip I had hoped to take tomorrow with Extended Horizons is not going out.

I'm staying in the Wailea area on a family vacation. Is the Carthaginian dive worth the long drive up to Lahaina and back? Opinions anyone? I'm kinda interested in seeing the tourist sub go by, is that predictable or a random event? Thanks all.

I know a land based trip is more practical, but I just love the experience of being aboard a boat and am hoping to find a way to make such a trip work. I misstated the objectives somewhat, I could do Sat to the following Sun, I just would have to be able to make it to work on Monday, without...
