(^196) Steve, the owner of the Everett Hostel, offered to take me to the
shop to pick up the bicycle. He also suggested (can you believe this?)
getting up at four in the morning to drive me to the airport for my
flight to Jamaica. I was deeply grateful for this generous offer as
getting myself and the bike to the airport wasn’t just a hassle, it was
also expensive. Thank you, Steve!
Boston, USA – Montego Bay, Jamaica - By plane
I was thrilled as this was the day I was to leave the Americas in
search of warmer weather. I packed my belongings into a single bag
and Steve was dead on time to drive me to the airport for my flight to
Jamaica via New York City. Everything went smoothly except for Delta
Airlines charging me for my luggage. Only one carry-on bag was free;
the first checked bag cost $25, while the bike cost an additional
$150! This made the flight quite expensive, but at least they didn't
weigh the luggage.
During the flight, one could see the incredibly clear blue ocean far
below. The water was so clear that it was possible to see the sandy
bottom. The tiny islands looked idyllic and, then suddenly, there it
was - Jamaica!
