BDA is a pain from IAH since you have to go through EWR and spend the night unless you take the 6am flight.

EWR-SXM is a 752 in July ^

Is it easy to get from the French side of SXM to the Dutch side? I'd like to do some spotting if we go there, but I think we'd stay on the French side of the island.

Depending on how long you'd be in SXM, one thing you can do is escape to Anguilla for a few hours if you want a nice quiet beach. Take the ferry from the Dutch side to Blowing Point and take a cab to Shoal Bay (east I think)

Anguilla is very nice and for some 'on the edge' minds like myself.......a place where you can absolutely relax.......was there in 2005 and I thought it was paradise

of course that being 3x.....you can only take so many nights of absolute peace.....but thats why SXM is right in front of it.

plus its another passport stamp for the 'stamp collectors'

and well, obviously watching the 747's from KLM and Air France at Maho Beach is a must

Unfortunately I didn't get the right picture of the plane and myself .....BUT that's the excuse for the next time :D

I am happy right here in the middle ground top 50% value wise.

I think I've hit the limit of how much time I can spend, or I should spend, on AM2.0. ;)

Anyways, I think I have to change my priorities. My goal in the game has been changed from beating xyzzy, to building an airline so that my passenger can take an ATR72 from Greenland to China; or from Japan to Morocco. What an adventure that will be! :D

Mine is to blanket North america in red.... more lines in more places...something like that. An airline fozz would be proud to fly, as it doesn't drop off the southern hemisphere.

Unless that's an Executive ATR, I would expect such an airline to carry a lot of alcohol and require substantial security ...

Yea! The bulk of my PowerPoint is done for Thursday's course is done. Over two weeks of research for this one. Read one well written NTSB report and one poorly written one that had a glaring contradiction in the conclusion IMHO.

I don't think they can make a chair wide enough for those two right now.

Thank You.

For Jon and Kate, I don’t watch the show, I just catch the clips on the soup and the looks they give each other are funny. She is also a total b!tch to him from what they show on camera.

Unfortunately, yes. I see it almost every day. :(

Glad to hear it was just a hypoglycemia issue.

9-1-1, what's your :rolleyes:? Off to call social services... -sigh-

You know it.


What bothers me the most is we thought this was one of the better facilities in the area for her. In our computers, we have hundreds of pages of calls for all the nursing homes, but the one we selected for her only has about 50 calls for service in our cad. I guess we know why now, they do not put real emergencies into the 9-1-1 system. They handle them on their own and the private ambulance companies that respond DO NOT want to share the revenue from the bill so they don’t bother to call for ALS when a patients requires it. My next call tomorrow is to the state Dept. of Health, Office of EMS to inform them that the BLS decided to transport a nonverbal unresponsive patient to a hospital 20 minutes away when there was a hospital on campus they could have transported to.

Thank you. She is doing great now, we just need to figure out how someone with no diabetic history dropped in blood sugar to 25. I bet those incompetent morons gave her some other patients meds or maybe too much and that possible caused a problem. Trust me I am a trouble maker and will get to the bottom of it.

It's sooo sad. I've also read that Kate wants to hoard all the $ for herself (& cut Jon out!).

What is her traveling gig, or did she go to GIG without him? :p
