Saw your post on A.net, I was on the return yesterday (the 28th) from PDL to JFK in 29C. I flew out on the 25th (Friday).
For those of you (Americans) that haven't been, go! Stunning scenery, good food, easy to get around, super fun roads to drive and relatively cheap, at least compared to mainland Europe. Also, if your're a photographer, you'll be in paradise. Hoping the route is a success and we see it return next summer. Hopefully I can get back out this season and head to one of the other islands.
