I wanted to get a 2 way plane ticket to and from the school for the summer semester. Is the academic calendar posted on Saba's website pretty accurate in terms of the last day of the semester and final exams? I mean if the calendar says that the last day of Final Examinations in the summer semester is August 11, 2006, can we safely purchase a 2-way plane ticket to Saba and back to US let's say for August 12?

Thank you

Sure, but that may not be the day your class is actually done with finals.

So that means we may have finals AFTER that date? In other words, are you suggesting not to buy a 2 way plane ticket or get the return flight several days later then the indicated dates of finals on their calendar?

No, you won't have finals after that date. You may have them a day or two before that date.

For reasons I can't explain, people will stress about getting off the island as quickly as possible following their finals. I'd rather travel peacefully than rush.
