Why the **** is it so different for me? I don't get it.
Last year the flight from Cleveland to Miami was $300 and the flight to KW was $800. But then you have to rent a car and drive down. It's a nice drive but It would have required adding a day onto each end of the trip. I had business the afternoon coming in and I'd have had to be thinking about driving to Miami leaving KW at 6am Sunday morning after being out all night. The alternative was to sit around KW all day Sunday viewing the aftermath.

Call me cheap. I am just struggling with it costing me 525 to go 125 miles! :ack2:

We drove down from Miami. $800 was a rediculous price to fly down last year for the Worlds. I could have got a limo and driver for the 3 days for the same amount for the two of us.

We could rent a car, but we are staying the whole week (Wednesday to Wednesday). It would cost almost as much to rent a car for the week (that we won't use) as it is to fly into KW. I am almost ready to hope a bus down from Miami to KW. That's only like $125.

Last year 2 from DC to KW was almost $1300.
$300 for 2 to get to Lauderdale, one way rental of a Jeep for 2 days was $80, lunch on the way down, a night at Hawks Cay w/massages that night, dinner, dolphins, drinks, massage the next AM before hitting the road, cab from airport to the races/hotel all before the 1st race was cheaper than flying in to KW (by about $8)..
Ended up renting a cargo van with 6 others to get back to Lauderdale Monday to make a 7PM flight home.

we are flying in to Lauderdale on Tuesday and arrive about 9:30 and head out on Monday for a 4 PM flight in Lauderdale, if anyone is on the same time schedule and wants to share a car let me know. I am going to look into dropping the car off and then getting a new rental in KW, we did that one year, we use scooters down their anyway so don't need a car. We are staying cheap at a place called the Angelina house, a bunch of people we know have stayed several times and are staying there again. It's costing us $139.00 before tax and $156.00 with tax with breakfast. They are all booked though, we actually have the aparment where the owners used to live. I will be curious what it is like for that price, but everyone raves about the staff and how clean it is. We don't spend much time in the room and like to watch the races from the deck of the Ocean Key house or the pits and might try the sebago turn boat for one of the days
