“After a total of 18 Caribbean trips, the last one in 2024, the wife and I are giving up on ‘international’ travel. It’s just not worth the hassle.”
If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re my husband, but incognito.
Several (10-15) Caribbean cruises, the last one December 2024, and we think we’ve given up on international travel. We agree: “It’s just not worth the hassle.”
Communication via cell was 75% of the hassle.

We didn’t really mind the cell phones not working. It was all the travel there and back. We had to take two flights each direction, which meant leaving home early to get to the airport, then wait. Take the first flight to the connecting airport and then do the plane changing thing. Then take the last flight to get to out landing airport. Go through immigration and customs and then be transported to our resort. This 5 hours worth of flying time turned into 16-18 hours worth of hassle. Oh, and I didn’t mention all the nice people at TSA and the airport employees and who knows who you have set by in the plane. This takes a whole day going and a whole day getting back. It done went and blew 2 days of my so called vacation just traveling.
