NO, I think it is a 3 hour tour.

Air Canada schedule says flight takes 1.5 hours.


Mr Don Spoofer, are you a ****ing idiot or what? By the time you
drive to the airport, arrive 2 hrs before flight to get through
security, pick up your luggage, you are way beyond 3 hrs, probably
approaching 5 hrs, but if you were not so dumb, you would have realized
that my post had nothing to do with the time it takes to go from one
place to another, and was a joke about Gilligan's Island and their 3
hour tour.

You really are an idiot, did you start drinking before puberty, and were
you a AFS baby? It would make more sense than you are just brain dead

Not for flajim...he's on the no fly list. After all, why would he need a
fly when he's got nothing to take out of it.

He'd never fly here for sure.
We have new equipment coming in that would highlight his short comings.

I'm going to have to call Margaret and ask her to take your sorry ass back
to work. I realize things are probably slow at Elite, but she has to do
something.
Your stench is ruining this newsgroup.

This may be a guy trying to cash in on the federal handout for
ferries. There is a guy here who wants to start ferry service from Ft
Myers Beach to Sanibel and he said it was just to get the grant money.
Nobody can really point out the need. The Sanibel folks are saying
"... and then what"? The dock on their end is right in the middle of a
residential area with no services or easy way to get the people to a
tourist area.
Of course Sanibel folks would be happier if everyone who doesn't live
there would just stay home. They tolerate the shops on "Bullwinkle
drive" but they don't want you to go anywhere else.

My paternal grandparents used to own 2 units at Sanibel Arms (I think that's
the place) 30 years ago. Those were fun vacations. Unfortunately, they sold
them before they passed, so there was nothing to hand down.

I certainly don't see the need for a ferry when you can already drive there.

Yes, unless you want to pay through the nose for a non-stop. Most go
to NYC with a layover

AirCanada offers round-trip service to Boston with no stops. 2-1/2
hours. Flying is a hassle, because of security and because of the
passengers are crap attitude of the airlines. If there were an overnight
ferry, I'd consider it.

You mean this AirCanada? And this didn't just happen once...

I have other reasons, but I will not fly with them. Used to be
government and it still shows.

My in-laws come up here on an overnight train from NE Florida. 12-hour
trip. They like it. Includes dinner and a sleeper compartment. No
airport/airline bull****.

**** the airlines.

Agreed. I wonder when they say it is a safe way to travel, do they
factor in the hospital and clinic visits after being exposed to one of
the biological filthiest vehicles of transporation going short of a
waste removal truck?

Just ask a doctor what to watch for after being on a flight.

Maybe after you figure in all the flying BS. Is an hour 15 minute flight
from the bay area to LAX. By the time you figure in the trip to the
airport, the parking and waiting for a shuttle, and the 1.5 hr minimum
time for checkin you may be looking at 4 hours.


That's exactly why we decided to drive to Disneyland instead of fly come
April. It'll cost us about 2 more hours and save over $1000.

When my older daughter graduated from Long Beach State. We spent the night
at a hotel by LAX to fly home the next morning. Younger daughter stayed
there also and was driving home. She slept in and we went to the airport
for find our SWA flight delayed. When we were turning corner to our house,
out daughter was driving up the street. 5 hour airline delay.

Did you ever figure in getting to the airport, checking baggage, being
at the gate 30 minutes minimum ahead of schedule, probable overbooking
therefore delay in offering passengers another flight, getting your
baggage at the other end, and on and on? That will make it 5 hours
easy.

Five hours at six hundred MPH is three thousand miles. Your 20 MPH
ferry will take more than a week.
