Since the only published approach for PJIA is runway 010 it would be a departure obstacle. The only possible obstruction on departure would be a 14-story around the Carrefour area. And that is over a mile away and just under the IFR 40:1 rule. Buildings in Simpson Bay and Cupecoy are not even close to any flight path. And there's an even higher obstacle (the hill) in that area anyway. I think you actually are the only one thinking of 9-11 in this context. The twin towers weren't on any flight path...

Thank you for a factual well thought post regarding this matter.

OK, that would be the last place I would think to get pizza, but glad you enjoyed it. I always love a good pizza.

NO.
But you could if you wanted to, just not required. At times at my house the cell service is weak, and so wifi calling works better.

Noting we are here for multiple weeks this time of year, I just pay for the one month subscription at $100 (discounted since a business customer). It automatically stops at the end of one month and it is less hassle than other options to us. I also carry a T Mobile phone that I use to hot spot at times when I need a private network, works well for us. T-Mobile does work better here than Verizon in my opinion, but Verizon is much better in most of the US.

I believe it is indeed "Chef India", but not bet-my-life sure. They have a facebook page under that name, but I am not on facebook so can't comment whether location is shown there. If one goes up the road past the casinos, jogs left at the top (near AUC gate), then jogs right, it is there on the left.

Chuck--yes, we went to Saline a long time ago. I assume, without knowing, it is still c/o. He was asking about a c/o resort though.

That deck looks nice, although I think I would prefer a table up there? How do you access the deck?

Re: Trip Report - Nov 20 - 27 Carol_Hill 2 hours ago
Wow, can't imagine booking a trip only three weeks before. I am envious of that schedule, to be able to do that!

I have to ask, the name of the restaurant is "Chef India" and they serve pizza??? confused

And yes, I surely wish that road to Friars would get graded, as I love FBBC, but can't stand that road!

Thanks for the report.

Re: Verizon Wireless charges GaKaye 4 hours ago
For Verizon customers, there's an option to pay an extra $10/month for three travel pass days. The travel pass days don't expire until one year after they're issued. Since David's mother is bedridden and has 24/7 care at home, it's important for us to stay connected. When at the resort, we stay in airplane mode and use Wi-Fi calling. You can also start and stop that $10 perk whenever you choose.

Re: Overdevelopment ruralcarrier 5 hours ago
Zoning board? If there in fact is such a thing, you know they are subject to bribes and payoffs to allow things to happen.

Re: Trip Report - Nov 20 - 27 ruralcarrier 5 hours ago
Thanks for the report.

I added some spacing to make your report easier to read.

I was at Mullet Bay a couple of times in August when the big cats came in. Lot of people but no obnoxiously loud music but that is uncalled for and should be addressed.

Glad you got to return.

Re: Overdevelopment Colour1 6 hours ago
I can't believe that the zoning board would allow a fourteen story building to be built in the flight path of the runway!!! Am I the only one thinking of the planes that hit the towers on 9-11??? Someone is getting paid off, because this whole thing is INSANE!!!
