Just had to post. We were supposed to be in Bonaire by 8:30 last night. Due to the fog in the mid-Atlantic, we are now in San Juan and can't get out till 6:30pm. We have lost a whole day in Bonaire, AND our luggage.

well if snow and ice and a functioning beacon were not enough to worry about we now have fog too :-(

that's what sucks about the san juan route - ain't no room for "error"...

bet the rest of the trip is better:-)

good luck!

Bob, actually with the long layover weather delays usually are ok..the extreme fog Deborah encountered is rare really. Oh, and AA flies daily soon so no worries in that arena. Deborah, call AA at 800-543-0460 and MAKE SURE you are on the SJU BON flight confirmed. Also make sure you have boarding passes all the way. If the flight is booked already and then the weather delays try to get seats, well that is indeed where they may be a problem.

Fingers crossed...I am trying AA from CUR to MIA next time I go to the US...

So, there is fog in the Caribbean? I'm trying to understand this. The AE flights only fly around the Caribbean, so their plane is grounded somewhere in the carib due to fog?

Deborah, try to make the best of it and go to the Waterclub in Isla Verde, or go to Old San Juan and have some Tapas at El Convente.

Here is a good link of things to do in San Juan. Good luck!

cynde, maybe what she meant was that she was delayed somewhere else by fog and got to san juan too late to make a connection. that's my guess, but what do i know???? we've been delayed a few times but never more than 24 hours.

We had fog delays here at EWR/Newark Liberty International Airport last nite...meaning Thursday nite. Probably had fog up and down the eastern seaboard....lasat night and this morning/Friday.

Warmer than "normal" here for weeks now. I'll keep it, tho! LOL. Carole

Carole...Whenever we have the "El Nino" phenomena out in the Pacific, we generally have mild winters here in the Northeast. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this winter. Notwithstanding this however, I did get my snowblower up & working last week!

Ann, Wes is flying in that route in 10 days. I will let you know how it goes.

Deborah...I hope you and your luggage are sitting on Bon right now. Good thoughts!

Tribsy, I did CUR MIA BOS last year when Air Jamaica cancelled their flight. It was ok except nightime MIA often has thunderboomers certain times in the year so delays are expected. I am taking the 8 AM out of CUR so will be in BOS by 3...gotta take the 6 AM DAE to CUR. yikes..

temps here in ohio are in the low 50's today and cloudy. i have heard that the weather in southern california is in the upper 70's with only a little rain....sounds like the place to be (if not on bonaire)

South East Texas got to 80 today with sunshine to nice a day to work but had to any way. Sure wish could have been on Bonaire diving instead of working.
