this right here. I've been here 10 months EWR/737/FO
I'm actually bidding NO islands or central AM. I'm tapped. I got it out of my system. coming from a NE regional I was looking fwd to islands/central am and just general "exotic" flying if you will.
the logistics that come into play with island/central am overnights, Customs. long van rides etc. like. Punta Cana. watching some IOE FO projectile vomit the inedible hotel lobster bisque, or just the disgusting all-in food there, blood stains on pillows, weak A/C (haven't been to new hotel). II have to do another Guadalajara this month with its 1hr van ride on jacked roads to a min rest. or Costa Rica (San Jose) where they park us next to a mall and nothing to do within 30min Uber except shop at H&M. Iberia hotel is nice. White Lotus vibe. but I'll be $50-70 poorer if I didn't meal prep. and when I'm in CR on my own I'd rather be surfing
these beach hotels, when you're not with your GF or fam, hit different. when you're solo on a work trip it's a nice moment jumping in the ocean or having a bevy by the pool but it's a short lived moment. I'm good now. Give me Des Moines or Fargo. just give me a front/back end commutable
