yes i called yellowbird direct. now heres the deal on my flights. i set it up thru wells fargo due to my "points-100K" getting me (2) free round trips anywhere on the planet.
now being in phx and wells fargos infinite brilliance we were booked:
1) phx-dallas/ft.worth
2) dallas/ft.worth to orlando
3) orlando to miami
beat to hell/burnt out lugging (3) underwater cameras and strobes and all scubbee gear minus scuba tanks for (2) people we died in the raddison(miami) for that night ,then got on flight direct to barbados.
soooooooooooooooooo....................with that very painful GIANT PITA behind me. book direct to miami,THEN direct to barbados.
only (2) HUBS in the carribean. puerto rico and barbados. if ya can find a direct from where yer at to barbados that would be best.
now i went in sept for my b-day(hurry-kane season ) and it was about $80 bucks a night USD. if yer not into nightlife barbados style i do not recomend the yellowbird. it is loud and they DO PARTY TIL DAWN.
the other HOT POO place in the CRANE HOTEL. gonna be pricey and its on the atlantic side. yellowbird on carribean side. crane is 10 stars POSH and 1 of the top 10 beaches on planet. problem thou is its in the boonies as far as nightlife/food/groceries etc.
other hot poo ticket is get a GUIDE! aka a native. was THE HOT TICKET as far as seeing tourista stuff and non tourista stuff. had so much fun drinking banks beer while driving with him, i cant EVEN IMAGINE renting a car and suffering thru their traffic. we took the same guide multiple days.
carlisle bay/bridgetown harbor there are a TON of wrecks to dive on. the hilton there is on the grounds of the old fort and you will see the walls and cannons.
when(not if) i go again i will go for 3 weeks minimum. 2 weeks was not ENOUGH, it was that cool. bring a pair of slacks and a golf shirt(dress din -din), 5 pairs of shorts,buy all yer t-shirts there and pack very very light cuz you will be bringing cool stuff back.
AND DO NOT MISS OUT ON BANKS BEER/MT. GAY RUM TOUR/DIVING/and EAT THE HELL OUT OF THE FLYING FISH!
