Just saw a nw saab prop land at atl

Aren't they starting some new NW FL services out of ATL?

I have no idea I just saw the plane land. I am curious as well to see what routes they are flying

JAX inbound might help too - far north enough that baseball isn't a concern...if you catch JAX on a week when it's not disastrously priced due to all the govt. traffic.

Spring Break. Avoid Florida like the plague. :rolleyes:

Have you checked TPA? It is only about an hour and a half from MCO.

I'm flying in an out of TPA and going to a game in Orlando and a game in Tampa.

Yeah, just saw that TPA is $238, much better than $500 but still a little high.

According to the State Department, Mexico should be avoided during Spring Break :p

That's not bad - I paid $239 from EWR. IMO, it's a small price to pay for some early-spring baseball! :)

State Department reports of foreign countries are hysterical! They basically say that you're in great danger of being mugged and/or killed any time you step foot outside of the US. :rolleyes:

If The Box were a church, I shudder to think who/what our venerated idols would be...

St. Whataburger The Tasty
St. Dunkin' The :rolleyes:
St. Shipley
St. Hockey
St. :rolleyes:
St. Awesome™
St. Arnold (Patron Saint of Brewers)

That's doable. There's a Big Ed down the street from where we played golf too. There's also a spectacular thin crust pizza joint in that area...Vitale's.

For thin crust you want Federici's in Freehold.

Yeah, but for once they're spot on with Mexico. Right now you couldn't pay me to go to the border towns.

CUN I might brave or MEX but the border, where a lot of Spring Break kids go for cheap drinks, is not a safe place with the gang wars.

I'll probably still go to Garcia's Restaurant/Bar/Gift Shop/Pharmacy on my next trip to South Padre. It's less than 100 Yards from the border.
