STT to San Juan. Arrived at the airport at 2:15. Waited in the very long customs line (porters were not bringing people to the head of the line and people were mad that they were paying to wait in line) Then through security. Was 3rd in line for some french fries and by the time I finished them, they were boarding my flight. Folks behing me in food line missed their early flight. They too arrived too late; about 45 minutes before the flight and they would not check them in. Just be smart and get there early. I flew out yesterday at 4:05. STT to San Juan.

Mother of God--were they ever going to improve that menu? YES--we will try anything different, EVEN POISON if necessary. Just anything at that airport has got to beat the not current, but constant "menu". Thank you for the Cyril E King food update. Mother of God–were they ever going to improve that menu?

I'm going to be flying from St Thomas to Puerto Rico, will it be just as bad getting out? I have a big group flying down next week for my wedding!!! Will this start my party off to a bad start? What am I to expect? I love St John and I hate to think this is going to set things off to a bad start and make things terrible when everyone leaves... Is this for all outbound flights?

Some of that stuff looks scary. I like to eat at J.J.'s before we board the ferry. It seems like we still end up in that damn concession line at Cyril King. I'm hanging at the bar and getting in a few more painkillers and sleep on the plane in November. I think we are going to have Eddie from Wheatley's (we love him!) take us to the new "Grand Yacht area" and find a place for lunch. Then to the airport and do the porter thing again so we can just zip through and won't have to be there so early. I think we will shoot for one and a half hours early. We had been thinking about an hour but after this article , we've reconsidered. Our flight leaves around 3pm so we may hit some traffic getting there. Leaving the island is just a BITCH anyway you do it. I usually just get fries. Some of that stuff looks scary. I like to eat at J.J.’s before we board the ferry.

I saw this sushi last month when we were coming home and thought, "No one is ever going to eat that!" I stand corrected. I hate all the food at the airport, except the odd macaroni and cheese with the little bits of random veggie bits. The seem to have it only about 1/3 of the time, so I find it a special treat when they do have it. Nothing like a carb-load before that big flight! Wow - brave isn’t the word.
