I guess you're getting caught up in a combination COVID - hurricane season slowdown.

Any possibility of rearranging to go through St. Thomas and take the ferry / water taxi? That's what we started doing a few trips ago when the SJU-EIS leg got to be so expensive.

BTW, while in Houston now, I was born and raised in (almost) south Louisiana: New Roads which is a small town 35 miles NW of Baton Rouge.
