For anyone coming in who hasn't left yet here's a few pieces of advice.

1) The cab rate from the airport to PI is a flat $35 for two and $3 additional per person after that. I'd say 1:3 people are going there, ask around at baggage claim and split the fare with anyone.
Well, not Cuse fans.

2) bring enough cash, the gov taxes your withdrawals at 7.5% VAT, or at least they did in the Atlantis casino with no warning until after the transaction was complete.

3) If you're going the cheap route like I am there is a nice grocery store over the bridge, turn left and it's a quarter mile or so on the right. You'll survive the walk back but depending on how many mixers you purchased your arms might never be the same. There's a smaller grocer on PI, if you can call it that but the prices are 120% of the other and the selection is bodegaish. Plan on paying island prices for all your groceries regardless.

4) wifi in Atlantis isn't free (lol nothing is) unless you're staying there, if you are and are willing to share your access DM me. It's importsnt to have because there's no live scores
Posted in the book so your at the mercy of the ESPN ticker like its 1995.

That's all I got for now. If you see me, I'm the guy in the a White OFP hat most likely in the sports book, say hi.

Just made the walk across the street to the "liquor store". Not a terrible option. 20 for a bottle beats the $15 drinks here.

Apparently the 7.5% VAT was only on the $3 atm charge. Thank god.

Anyone arriving tomorrow afternoon on Jet Blue and heading for the Comfort Suites on PI? I am arriving at 3:27PM . Should I rent a car? It might be cheaper than $35.00 for round trip taxi. Hum guess I should check it out. See all fans on Wednsday for a WIN! MOJO WHATEVER WE HAVE TO WIN!

Okay, I rented a car for the whole time, this way I can go to grocery store or drive Atlantis, since I am 69 yrs old, much easier on the l.

So if anyone is arriving on JetBlue 1793 tomorrow and need to go to the Comfort Suites on PI I can take one, since it is a small car.

I'm concerned that he ran out of cash already and had to hit the atm. He's been there like an hour
Its worse than that, I didn't get it out ahead of time.

Are you okay OFP? I am concerned that I left you there without someone like myself to escort you around and keep you out of danger. Hope things are going well and you're having fun - and didn't get taken out at that ATM?
