I know what you mean by breaking the bank. I luckily went there from Europe which made the trip a bit easier, but, still the total travel cost was high. Once on the Island, the prices maintained the European level. No great bargains. But, the bottom line, still worth the expense. Best all around charter I've ever done. A once in a lifetime experience. thanks for commenting and have a great 2011.
