Hey Nebraska Fan,

Did a quick search on Kayak.com this a.m., searching for "Packages" on their website. You can get a week at various places in October, and include airfare, saw several options in the $950 range. I am quite certain you won't see any direct flights from Omaha or Lincoln to SXM, but that is something to look at also. Try to get a flight that gets to SXM mid-day rather than late at night, same thing for flight home, don't take the first flight out, we like to fly out in mid-afternoon for the way home. You can get some more beach / bar / casino time that way. I probably wouldn't book the car on that site, you can get good deals for car rental while on the island. Some hotels will book the car for you right at the hotel, whether that be for one week or two days. As to car rentals, we pretty much stick with the smaller Hyundai cars, they are easy to park and cheaper to rent.
