Sigh the flight etc is nothing compared to the 12 week wait!! Bright side is that it's finally double digits!!!
From rural middle Tennessee about 12 hours each of trip. Somehow the 12 hours coming home seems much longer because of leaving Jamaica returning to work.

4 hour drive to T.O., wait at airport for about 2 hours, 4 hour flight to Mobay, 2 hrs to Negril (depending on where Linston takes us for food and beverages!) Soooo, 12 hours.
Don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear.
This trip...4 hour drive from Hooterville to MSP airport. Be at airport at 3:00 am. flight at 5:00 am. go to Charlotte, then arrival time in Mobay at 12:47 pm Hope to at The HAPPY PLACE AT 3:00??? IT'S WORTH IT!
11-12 hours door to door, ITH to PHL to MBJ to Negril (via Champion!). About the same going back, but the sadness . . .
We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.
We live about 15 minutes from the Atlanta Airport. But we park our car at one of the hotels (parking at the airport is so expensive and Uber isn't licensed to enter airport until January 1). So leave house at 6:00 a.m. Make it to hotel by 6:15am on shuttle to airport about 15- 20 minutes. Plane leaves for MBJ at 9:10 we get to MBJ at 11:55. About 2 hours to Negril. So I guess about 8 - 9 hours. But so worth every single minute. Can't wait. 12 sleeps and a wake up.
If everything runs with railroad precision... about 12 hrs from near Green Bay, WI. We don't count the flight time anymore... that's a fool's errand from here. Better to begin the clock at disembarking the plane door at MoBay.
3 hour drive to Midway (so we can take a direct flight) + 2 hours at Midway + 4 hour flight + 1 hour at MBJ + 2 hours to Negril = 12 hours of anticipation![]()
