We now have all of the tickets that we need to get to St. Barthelemy. We purchased the tickets for the second leg of our trip. The first set of tickets that we purchased were from Miami to St. Maartin. We were then planning on taking a taxi across the island and then taking the ferry over to St. Barths. However, after looking at all of the prices involved, (taxi fares, ferry tickets, and an additional round trip ticket to St. Maartin for me to meet Kami and the kids to get them to the ferry) we realized that it didn't cost too much more for us to get plane tickets from St. Maartin to St. Barthelemy. This would be easier than trying to load everyone into a taxi with all of our stuff and then having a 3-hour wait for the ferry and getting in pretty late. Not to mention, I will not have to meet Kami and the kids to take them across the island, they would just stay at the airport for their connecting flight.
Although the total flying time from St. Maartin to St. Barthelemy is only 15 minutes, the cost of the tickets seem like we are traveling some great distance!
Please continue to pray for us as we are still packing all of our belongings for shipping and trying to find and purchase a vehicle as well.
