he lives on a boat!
currently off the coast of Turks 'n Caicos Islands - where i shall join the fun later today!
i've never been aboard thus far... my sister did thrice already, so on i went for my turn at what's promptly become my family's most popular vacation spot :thumbup:
right now i'm stationed at the KMIA airport hotel (which has a pretty awesome breakfast) waiting out the mother of all layovers - from touchdown yesterday 6pm to wheels up today at 12:55 (if no delays)
planes keep shrinking as i go along - the first leg was a 777-200 - had never flown in one 'til yesterday -- it was the smoothest flight (and one of the best landings) i have ever experienced - Kudos to cap'n Johnson of American Airlines!
todays fun: a b757 (variant soon to be discovered) across the ~1:30 hour leg to providenciales intl. (IATA PLS, ICAO MBPV)
and then, to the best fun of the week - a Beechcraft Super King Air later this afternoon connecting MBPV to MBGT (grand turk island) where dad is moored
yes - i've already flight-simmed this one! though i have yet to find what sort of procedures those guys would use... the MBPV GTK SID flies right over grand turk at FL210! can't be fully IFR then, i guess...
well, i guess well see....
later (when i get a proper link, that is - wifi is mighty dodgy on a boat) i'll post the awesome approach and landing video i managed to shoot when i arrived here yesterday
now - to loot the duty free!
