Impossible to get to BOB, unless you rent a speed boat at PPT (not even sure if that's possible), though it is possible to reach PPT by 9pm if you take the 4.30pm flight out of LAX
So Dan's just snagging any nights he can find?  :P

Seriously? You've pulled off finding availability for 5 days in each of Dec, Jan, and March?? :)
Curious to know, though, 3/1 is a Sunday. Is there anyway to leave home after a Shabbos and actually get there by Sunday night?
I Guess if he wants to check in at 8AM he'll need to check in the night before,  or perhaps he'd be coming in from somewhere else, maybe AUK or something, or perhaps spending shabbat in PPT.....

Or he's planning on staying in PPT for shabbos?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

@Dan is probably munching on Popcorn while we speculate how and why he snagged 3/1....

My question is, was he really going to spend Purim in BOB?

Is there a Shabbos/dateline issue in PPT?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I'm aware about that, I'm referring to American products with OU vs French.

How in the world do they ship frozen meals to Bora Bora? The fastest way to get there would be at least 24 hours by plane, how would that work?
