Glad to hear your persistence paid off through it all and you guys finally had your Caribbean vacation!
I still have several STD’s that need to be addressed (Still To Do’s - no bucket list for me) for the eastern seaboard like the Air and Space Museums, Kitty Hawk and a few others, hopefully next year, so I’m hoping for the best but ready to roll with whatever may come when we likely use the airlines and our great airports and ATC out there.
