Wow!! Round trip tickets to Port-au-prince Haiti for only $808
I hope the link below works.

If I were to leave on March 1 I can fly to the Carribean island for only $808 with stops in Atlanta and Miami.

I wonder if it is "tourist season" there right now?
Crowded?

2. Yeah, but you lose the savings by having to fly with a bodyguard.
Sucks.

6. Bummer no flights to Baghdad
We were unable to find flights from Richmond, VA (RIC) to Baghdad, Iraq (BGW) on 3/1/2004.
Possible Causes:
• Limited flight schedules
• A smaller airport with limited service
• Limited operating days and hours

8. None of the above.
He's doing missionary work. His dad owns a well-drilling company, they go once a year to Haiti to drill wells for the poor for free.

I will see him on Monday, I'll let you know how it went for him.

12. Yep, as long as you have your "blue ticket" you can have a seat
on a UH-1N right out of the embassy grounds. And, as an added bonus you can spend a couple of days on a aircraft carrier of some kind or another.
So, save the 400 and buy yourself a good kevlar vest.

11. I have friends whose daughter teachers in a remote village there.
:scared:

Hope she comes home soon, no matter what the cost. The parents are planning to go in April. I personally think they are nuts.

13. Err... You are aware that a coup is brewing in Haiti right now?

You may wish to consider that before going down there!
