Well, in typical Caribbean fashion, Vernito did not show up to drive us to the airport. Dick was able to contact Judy who, as a good hostess, drove us herself. Our little eight-passenger plane to San Juan was on time and we hung out at the airport until time for our 1155 flight to NY.

Got into JFK just before 4pm and were able to get a shuttle bus for the hostel. The hostel is AAE Hostel on Jamaica Avenue but appears to be run by the Super eight. It was $59 with shuttles for the two of us. Two beds in a four bed mixed dorm-very small but the location and price were right.

The neighborhood is obviously Latin American and we ended up at a Salvadoran restaurant that was pretty good. Early night since we need to catch the 4:30am shuttle to the airport..
