Re: Overdevelopment

@Colour1 - no 14-story building will be built in the approach or departure path of PJIA. It's not a zoning question, but an ICAO one. If they just put up a building like that, the airport would lose its license - and that isn't going to happen regardless of who gets bribed... 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... addition: The airport's published arrival/departure information - https://ww2.jeppesen.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/tncm.pdfThank you for a factual well thought post regarding this matter.

Re: Verizon Wireless charges

So I should turn on airplane mode when I’m making calls on WhatsApp to SXM using my house WIFI here in the states? 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.

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

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??? 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.

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.

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.

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!!!
