Ultimate goal is getting back to CLT, but my gut instinct is doing some West Coast / HI flying to start could be fun.

Also, for Mutual Base Exchange, it's a lot harder to do it cross-division.

Maybe the other Spanish speaking countries in Latin America get filed under Mexican countries in the next revision.
