It is actually often easier to book interisland flights from BGI than from Grenada. I just posted some airline information on traveltalk in response to your post there.
I don't think there would be much difference between the temperature at Dawn's and at the Frangi. They will both provide fans, if you ask in advance.
It's easy to get to Port Elizabeth by water taxi from Low Bay (fun!) or by the dollar bus route which runs from the top of the aptly named heart attack hill and runs into Port Elizabeth. Taxis are also reliable and cheap. If you are moderately fit, then walking is also enjoyable and nothing is more than 45-50 minutes away.
Remember that Low Bay also has restaurants. Also the local minimart is a branch of Euroshopper so is well-stocked and brings in anything else you need from the main branch on a request basis. I do my basic provisioning in Port Elizabeth upon arrival, and then pretty well shop locally in Low Bay.
Hope this helps
Note however that end of July is into the rainy season and a number of establishments do shut down.

That's a good point about things being closed in July, so I suppose our best bet is to plan travel to Bequia (or whichever other island) at the first part of our travel and end up in Grenada for the last part.
I'm a bit more relaxed now that I've at least got a few dates nailed down for FF itineraries. I still don't know yet if we're going in July or late October, but at least now I have the peace of mind of both itineraries being on hold for the next couple of weeks while I work out logistics.
Thanks again for your help!

I'd do July if you can...it's significantly less rainy in July (6 inches) than in October (9 inches) and there is a reduced potential for hurricanes compared to October. On Bequia, many tourist businesses close in October. If you do come in October, then remember that most of the rain falls at night but it can be overcast during the day.
