I posted the question in another thread but I definitely did not want it to get lost. :-)

I took my kids on vacation several years ago to Jamaica and my now 12yo developed a serious love affair with Ting. I jumped on the bandwagon when I was served a Ting with Vodka, but the 12yo LOVES the stuff and gets his aunt from St Thomas to bring it for him when she visits. :D

Any chance it is available anywhere on Bonaire? Any place that I can order it from to have when we are down in August?

Haven't seen it on Bonaire, but I can now get it at the SuperG in New Jersey. Expensive, but worth it for a treat.

Darn, this does not sound good. The flight from BWI to BON has ZERO layover (folks flying to BON via AJ on August 7, I'm the reason we left late, sorry in advance)in Montego Bay or else I would try to find some there. :-(

I discovered it at my local Wegmans but it is $1.49 for the little bottles, so it is just an occasional treat.

Once again, folks flying on August 7, my kid drank all the Ting on the flight, sorry. :D

Larry

Try www.sodapopstop.com, Ting is available, but it's not cheap. Don't know about shipping out of the states.

OK... I admit my ignorance. I keep reading that they serve Ting on Air Jamaica flights... Now a whole thread about Ting.

What is Ting?

Ting is a grapefruit-flavored soda, very tasty!

Ting also uses *sugar* as its sweetener, not High Fructose Corn Syrup, which may add to its strange allure. Many folks claim that the real sugar taste is the hook.

I believe that most American sodas switched to HFCS in the 80's and you can only find domestic mainstream brands using sugar around Passover.

With AJ flights coming to Bonaire 3+ times a week I am sure a freight arrangement could be worked out easily. In fact, I may have to email someone I know that works their counter at BON to see if she can swing a 1 time delivery of a couple of cases. :-)

Larry, we have made the BWI to MoBay, connection to Bonaire several times without incident. 40 minutes does not seem like much (and it isn't) but so far, no missed flights, no missed bags. We'll be doing it again in about 15 days.

No worries mon
