Any cities that are State side?

Does Guam count as a US city?

Yes, Honolulu. In the lower 48, Houston or Newark, I would guess. You're going to connect to a Continental flight eventually.

From Florida, your best bet, or maybe your only choice, is Houston-Honolulu-Guam-Koror on Continental. I did it recently from Miami and it was very easy.

Awesome! Thanks everyone for the advise. @DMdoggie - Did you go through a travel agent or book it on your own? Liveaboard trip?

I used a travel agent, Caradonna. They were very good, using an agent dosen't cost any more than doing it yourself, and eliminates a lot of phone calls and hassles . They also booked the liveaboard on Peter Hughes Tropic Dancer.

Both the Aggressor and Sam's have travel specialists to help you with travel arrangements if you are going to be diving with them. Saved me a TON of hassle.

whatever is the cheapest at the time.

Lots of airlines fly to ROR now--Delta flies ATL to NRT to ROR. Actually the NRT-ROR part is really cool as you don't have to stop in GUM anymore or bounce around on an island hopper if you don't want to.
