That only works when the airline provides accurate and timely announcements. On Friday they said it was delayed - and then changed the status when I got there. On Saturday it was showing delayed but I'm 45 minutes from the airport - a lot can happen in that 45 in that time. I was able to rebook my flight online at the airport, but the cell covering the airport was overloaded with people all doing the same - and so it kept timing out

Wait -- what sort of world are you living in where you can't check flight status over the Interwebs? Or even the phone?

And considering how many such people exist, the island is certainly right-sized. LOL!

I do intend to visit there some day. After all, it's more or less a straight shot east of NC...

Have you thought of Bermuda? There is a regular demand for IT folk to go work there on contract, the salaries aren't super high but there's no income tax and the fringe benefits are good
